Has anyone tried to oblique kick usman?

[Fesaine]

We already know his knees are fucked up and skinny so why hasn't anyone try to oblique kick him?

One reason that I can think of is that this technique is still taboo. Only a few fighters are willing to use it.

His mom after he ate all the Halloween candy meant for the neighborhood kids. His mom is on record as saying "I'll show you taboo!"

I don’t think that’s an oblique kick. It’s thrown with the back leg, no?

I'd rather it be Jones

Also: has anyone tried knocking his head off?

It's more of a jumping side kick to the knee.

 

[I Lie To Girls]

Probably scared to get taken down.

Till was actually smart in anticipating and slightly turning his knee in. Could have been worse.

TS needs to google Oblique kick

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

No, but we should expect them to be a heavy part of Covingtons game in his rematch, he certainly had no problem using them against Tyron.

Skinny knees? That's a new one.

Same type of kick, it's just that he's kicking on a bladed stance fighter so it'll slide a bit to the back part of the leg after impact. Same concept though, it stresses the knee but just at a different angle compared to fighters with a non bladed stance. The typical stance puts stress on the front side of the leg/knee.
