Man, I remember seeing that! I said ouch out loud, and everyone in the room I was in turned around at me...those kicks really need to be banned, they're borderline mutilating.
 
Owwww. I believe lateral knee bars aren't allowed (correct me if I'm wrong, but I saw Minowaman do it in another org and heard it was illegal in response), so I feel like this is pretty bad too and shouldn't be allowed. So difficult to defend, to referee/judge... What do you do?
 
just saying oblique kick feels good. before i knew what it really was, i knew, its gotta be great. just like a donkey punch.


i was right, both times.
 
I've yet to see one of these super dangerous kicks end an MMA fight.

They probably never will end an MMA fight.. but they could definitely end up shortening someone's career since knees wear out easily and are nearly impossible to restore to 100%

Picking the foot up by closing ur knee is what Gus did to consistently keep Jones at boxing distance when he went to exchange.

I read it was a Savate technique. I'm sure they developed a good defense for it.

They're not as dangerous as everybody sensationalizes them to be. Now heelhooks, there's a knee killer, yet nobody seems to care.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Submissions on the knee are safer. Pressure builds up and you have time to tap. With a strike, damage is done, and pain fades after the strike until it come again. And you're limping around, making it harder and harder to block.
 
Im 50/50 on the knee kicks, Miguel Torres is one of the only times I have seen it end a fight but it was in a kickboxing match not mma.

So does getting punched in the head.

Will Smith even did a movie about it, with a horrible accent and didn't get an affirmative action Oscar.
 
They are all right with me. Should learn to deal with them,just as with anything else.

Exactly. The one guy who really bitches about them (hint: My username) is completely at fault for being eaten up by them because for the majority of his post-UFC title run he has been a flat footed plodder with terrible movement. Nate is the same way. When you just move forward flat footed you are begging for your lead leg to be attacked and this is a legitimate strike. Don't like your opponent oblique kicking you? use better movement and be lighter on your feet. Standing heavy on your lead leg is begging for it to get destroyed by an oblique kick.
 
I was sparring and someone did them to me and i got mad Hahah. He wasnt using alot of force but it was still jacking up my leg. if we were in a fight though,i think its a fair play.
 
the thing is Diaz's stance was sideways. It wouldnt buckle his knee unless

A. Diaz's stance was straight
B. Conor hit Diaz's knee in the dead center.
C. A lot of Diaz's weight was on the front leg.
