Best High Head Kick in Heavyweight MMA history

[HHJ]

ONLY HW MMA

I will poll some choices but feel free to post some not on the list. It's time to put the babies to bed, turn the twitter machine off, and only focus on life altering brain trauma as only the HW's can do it

 

[AldoStillGoat]

I vote Gonzaga.

However, you missed one:

 

[don't ask]

It's got to be this one, though most fans today probably don't know how shocking this was.

 

[mjoln]

Remove that number 5. Now.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Gonzaga for sure!

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

 

[HHJ]

Remove that number 5. Now.

I know I know

It had to be done

but I sympathize

 

[Eater of Souls]

Voted Cro-Cop over Igor but when Gonzaga dropped CC in the same manner I nearly shit sharp clawed kittens.

 

[BFoe]

I think it’s probably Gonzaga’ kick to Mirko, as much as it hurts my heart to say it.

 

[Max Power]

Cro Cop vs Del Rio.

 

[HHJ]

I think it’s probably Gonzaga’ kick to Mirko, as much as it hurts my heart to say it.

Its not even a great kick technique wise, but it didnt need to be.

The ramifications and career derailment was serious shit

 

[mb23100]

I vote Gonzaga.

However, you missed one:

What happened to this dude? Won his last fight and disappeared

 

[AldoStillGoat]

What happened to this dude? Won his last fight and disappeared

We weren't worthy of his entertainment.

Yeah exactly, it’s the devastation of it and the way it left Mirko just crumbled in a heap. Sad day, man.

 

[filthybliss]

cro cop vs. anyone

 

[filthybliss]

Rizzo's low kick against Severn was pretty nutty, just felt like mentioning it

 

[mjoln]

I know I know

It had to be done

but I sympathize

Next stop: bomb threat at paralympics

 

[Last Falconry]

Coleman got kicked absolutely clean square in the fucking face

 

[StrikerKing]

What about a low head kick? Is that the same as a leg kick to the head?

Gonzaga doing that felt like it changed the whole MMA scene. Before that, I think a lot of people figured that these mythical Pride fighters would come in and dominate the UFC. But Gonzaga was so clearly just a fringe contender in the UFC and he absolutely destroyed CroCop everywhere, and then finished him off with his own signature move. Left no question about who the better man was (only to be immediately dispatched by an ancient Randy Couture).

The Pride guys had a lot to prove after that.
