Adlan Amagov had some epic kicks
I think he got a couple TKOs from hitting people in the body with it. very coolDennis Siver really had a devastating spinning back kick, best one in the game.
The question is in MMA. So it's Dejdamrong. If it's in UFC only, it's probably Fiziev as of now, also Barboza, Wonderboy, Salikov. From the past Crocop, Baas, Rizzo..Who do you believe has the best kicks in MMA history?
I believe it’s anyone out of; cro cop, Silva, barboza, gsp or wonderboy
1. CM Punk
2. The rest
You are absolutely right. Mirko definitely had the most dangerous kicks.The difference between Mirko and pretty much everyone else mentioned so far is IMHO that his kicks were not low percentage moves, they were more like punches.
Typically a kick finish tends to mean either picking out a counter or really fooling an opponent badly to block at the wrong level, either that or some exotic shit that needs timing so good it won't come off often. Mirko was so powerful and fast with standard kicks he didnt need that or he only needed the tiniest mistake in terms of wrong level blocking.
Its why I think he dropped off so fast as the injuries he suffered around 07-08 limited his speed and that changed his tactics, suddenly he couldn't just catch opponents via speed anymore. His kicks became the kind of low percentage moves they are for other fighters and instead he needed to depend more on his boxing.
Conor has very underrated kicks.
He sent Cowboy flying to the canvas with Donalds own signature headkick but yeah he doesnt use them as much as he used to.They're underrated because he hasn't thrown them in 6 years.
Imagine thinking Holly fucking Holm is a better kicker than Anderson Silva.Silva? Silva was an excellent striker in general. But when I think kicks, I don't think Silva. Adesanya has much better kicks.
To answer your question: Mirko Cro Cop, Bas, Barboza, Wonderboy, Holly Holm, Yair, Pettis in his prime as well. I'd also add Cerrone in there. His kicks were/are deadly at all levels. Leg kicks brutal, body kicks insane, head kicks...hospital.
