Khalil Rountree Jr's Oblique Kick ........

[battouter]

i'd rather have knees and kicks but no stomps on a downed opponent to be legal than techniques that destroys knees and possibly end careers.

 

[metaldesert]

This sport,ill take being low class to not get knocked the fuck out myself. I'll live with some forum members being mad.

If we can STOP pretending sports where you throw and catch balls to full contact fighting are the same,the better off we will all be.

Thank you. This is cage fighting were talking about, one of the most brutal sports in the world and people are complaining because it 'wasn't very sporting' what the fuck is that? These fighters know what they are signing up for when they step in that cage.

Not sporting to me in fighting,would be like faking a glove touch or some shit like that

 

[CinemaKingdom]

How is it low-class?

Because it works really well lol. It's the same thing so many BJJ guys complained about with leg locks. Some of them are starting to get over it finally and learning to defend them.

There is nothing technically extraordinary about the kick, and it's been used for years. If a spate of serious injuries come to be caused by oblique kicks, it wouldn't be surprising at all if it were to get banned. But if this this turns out to be a one-off, or even very rare, then it's an overreaction to call for outlawing it.

And I don't see anything dirty or unsportsmanlike about it. (See above: it's not new.)

 

[Donnybat]

So we should just have pka style mma?

THE FUCK OUTTA HERE

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

That's probably why it won't load for me.

No, the uploader didn't make it available in your location and mine.

 

[PIИKBLIИK]

I love how the attitude is 'this is cage fighting, it's not sports! These guys are animals trying to hurt their opponents' is the main defense, but anytime someone wants to add restriction or further legislation hurting the sports ability to grow in the past those people used that exact mind set to do so and everyone was calling them fucking idiots and boomers. Lol.

 

[hardcoreBE]

It was sickening to see and I wished it didn't happenen. But it's legal, fighters throw them all the time and in the thousands of UFC fights this was the first time one ended in such fashion. Do I like them? No. Do I think they should be banned? No.

If you can grab someone by the neck and bash your knee in his face until they are unconcious then it would be silly to ban this.

It would also be a pain to enforce it.

But yeah this was definitely one I skipped the replay for. 2021 has had some brutal injuries that I could not rewatch, Weidman, Hill, Mcgregor, Jacare and now this one.

Also love all these 'just bleed' fans here acting hard as from their keyboards and haven't stepped into a gym a day in their lives nevermind had a fucking fight yet they are the toughest guys in the world smoking weed from their sofa's when legit fighters like Aljo, Kelvin, Manuwa, Belal, Jouban and more last night basically were calling for it to be banned. You know people who actually fight in the sport, not forum warriors who think they are tough guys.

How so?

 

[beav1982]

If it's in the rules as legal it is not unsportsmanlike. Just like any other legal technique you need to prepare for it. It's very comparable to leg locks that in an instant can shred a leg except that happens much more often. You know maybe we should ban it and while we're at it let's ban inside leg kicks because they can accidentally hit the balls which is very unsportsmanlike.

You sound upset.

All sports have rules to disallow certain things that "aren't very sporting."

In the NFL, one of the rules involves not climbing on your teammate's back to try to block a kick/punt. It's sporting to jump as high as YOU can; it's not sporting to climb on your teammates back to get a boost.

In a sport fight, oblique kicking techniques to the knee aren't very sporting.

EDIT: Some put foot stomping in that category, too, but I actually have a soft spot for that because it can dissuade wall-and-stallers.

In Rugby and Aussie rules football jumping off your teammate is a logical and skillful way to get higher. There's nothing inherently "unsporting" about it. I get your point though, but would use a different example. Stomping on toes in unsporting in a completely different way than jumping off a teammate to get higher (which is just practical/creative).

 

[HHJ]

Someone with enough rank needs to create a poll.

Agreed

 

[LHWBelt]

Its legal and its not the first time it's been thrown by a long shot it just isn't always landed perfectly like here. I got no problem with it. The sport has had way more injuries with checked kicks and arm bars and nobody wants to remove those.

Retard logic here. Arm bars are different as the fighter gets a chance to tap before the damage is done. Check kicks can be avoided by not throwing the kick. This oblique kick is vastly different as it is the other fighter is throwing it at you, and if it lands right, it can instantly tear up your knee with all kinds of ligament damage. Same with how eye pokes are banned along with other moves, like small joint manipulation.

Kicking someone just above the knee isn't bad, but when you kick someone on the knee like in this case, it can cause severe damage. Moves like this, should be banned. If not, then let everything be legal, like knees to head, head butt, groin strikes, eye gouging, etc. Why have any rules in place to begin with?

its a fuckin kick,not an eye poke.

It would be very difficult to enforce,first of all.

you gonna get fouled for throwing a side kick too low? fuck off

I fuckin love stomps on the feet. Every since Marco Ruas did it


If you CANT stop someone from stomping on your feet,you dont deserve to win.
