Best front kick KO ever?

[fzoid4454]

Machida on Randy is a crane kick. He hops into it.

I'm not sure what you call Chandler's boot from hell, but front kick needs to snap out from knee. His leg swings straight up.

Andy's on Belfort is a front kick

Machida's kick to Couture was an advancing jumping front kick, which is still a front kick. "Crane" comes from Karate Kid. There is/was nothing called that in actual martial arts. Even if it was, it would still be a name for a front kick.

Silva's is iconic, I'm going with Silva

Silvas is Iconic, Machidas are a thing of beauty and Chandler's is brutal

Chandler vs Tony was good, but let's be honest. Tony could get a front kick from a baby while changing their diaper and get ko'd these days.

That is completley irrelevant. That kick would ko anyone he hit with it.

Anderson's is so iconic but I really like the brutality of Chandler/Tony.

Let's give Chandler props for disguising it, because that looked nothing, at all, like any kind of martial arts kick.

But, hey, there's also a beauty in brutal effectiveness sometimes.

The main thing is that he committed to it with everything he had. It was a big risk,had he missed. Its the kind of thing you live to see.

That was kind of what I was getting at. I'm sure Chandler will take the instant KO over style points. But that was and ugly and clumsy looking kick. Whatever works. The goal is to be the one with your hand raised.

Yes,no style points,just get 'er done

And you base this on what? He hadn't gotten KO'd until last Saturday.

 

[GrantB13]

Chandler's was definitely the hardest. He put a ton of force behind it.

 

[GrantB13]

I'm going with Machida vs Couture because of the tooth flying.
Silva vs Belfort second.

This is complete revisionist history. How many times has he been KO'd before a few days ago? ZERO!

 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Silva's is iconic, I'm going with Silva

Yep. He's the OG face kicker. First and best.

 

[Rank Squatter]

Crazy how powerful that seems to be. I'd be fucking scared to crack my toes honestly, and I guess that's what happens when you can't kick lol

Imagine breaking a nail

Oh well hope the Ufc drops him. D bag deserves it. Not gonna lie I will admit that I enjoy watching him get tuned up. He's good at that. Lol

 

[LEWIS540]

Machida vs Belfort for me.

Same.

 

[Vil7]

Chandler's isn't the most technical but it's the most impactful. Vitor and Couture and were still conscious after the kick.

Just a minor detail but I think I read that Machida knocked out some of poor Randy's teeth.
