Oddly enough he would get fewer critics for kicking out knees, but many would still complain about them. Such is the world of arm chair MMA.

haha!!
Indeed, and it's always referred to as an "oblique kick", and was under the impression he was kicking right above the knee.

he fought on for another round and hasn't reported any significant injuries since
grand total of knee strike injuries still sits at 0 as far as i'm aware (even if i personally don't like them)

Guys, all you have to do is Google/Yahoo/whatever the fuck 'Unified Rules of MMA'.
All strikes to the knee, above the knee, on the side of the knee or whatever are legal currently.
I made the grave mistake of not doing my google homework before posting, forgetting this was sherdog lol
why is it called an oblique kick if he's kicking the knee?

Weird that they let the fight continue. Even weirder if he in fact came out without any injuries. Guy has some strong ligaments.

as a poster said - Torres continued the fight. I just watched it.
I don't see the difference between this kick and Jones' kicks. He DOES turn his foot out in the same way as Jones, although who would care about which way the foot is stomping on your knee is beyond me.
Anyways, its legal, and it didn't wreck Torres' knee.

yeah definitely, it looks brutal! perhaps there is some damage but i'd have thought not if he kept fighting, and if you check his twitter page he's written since the fight and never mentioned anything, where i assume he would have
Torres is one flexible dude

Personally, I like the kick. The Jones' Defense Brigade should calm down. He gets used as an example CUZ HE DOES THEM LOTS AND HE'S FAMOUS!

How are knee kicks (and coco) illegal? Jones blows all day.

It didn't bend straight backwards. The force was going straight back, but the knee has resistance that direction, so it resisted, turned, and then buckled from the outside in, as though the strike came from the outside.
It has been established they are not illegal second page

"Oblique" means 'sideways', 'slanting'.
It's slanting, sideways kick. You can kick wherever you want although as far as I understand kicking above the belt at highest isn't very practical/realistic.
Ha, good stuff. Learn something new everyday
