Machida vs Silva front kicks

[Rider1]

Which front kick highlight KO did you personally prefer?

I am in the Machida camp on this one, mainly since I never thought someone would do that to Randy but it was also pretty darn spectacular.

I can see the attraction of the Silva - Belfort KO but its machida for me

WBU?

Machida's style was cooler ("No can defend" straight outta Karate Kid), but Silva's was more epic IMO. Silva's win over Belfort not only meant more, but the way Belfort fell was cooler than how Randy fell...IMO.

Machida's was a little cooler for me because he was in the air. I'm a simple person.

Silva’s, due to the pre-fight beef between him and Vitor. Also, Vitor was an animal at that time and he got shut the F down.

But Machida’s looked way coola!

I think Silva's had more of a "Wow!" factor in that he didn't have to jump or launch to put Vitor down. He just set, measured, and fucking blasted him.

There's also something to be said of doing it first.

Look at how hard Vitor’s fuckin head snapped back. That’s an immediate concussion. He got mixed.. Randy snapped back too, but not like Vitor.

They’re both legend ko’s, regardless.

Didn't Randy lose a tooth from that kick as well though? There's definitely a lot to like on both sides here.

I like it

 

[Head Movement]

Apparently they both learned it from this guy

 

[Just Creed]

Both were spectacular to watch. If i had to choose though, probably Silva.

Silva showing proof that TRT Vitor is an MMA Myth. Spider-like strike. LOL

Silva's. Andy's little faint that freezes Victor is pure gold. It's all about that set up.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Only Silva fans will pick Silva's kick.

Machida's kick is clearly more awesome. Waaaaaay more awesome.

 

[Achilles00]

Silva's was more impressive due to his opponent. No disrespect to Randy, but by then he was old and in a clear decline.

 

[Peteyandjia]

Machida.

It was flying, for fuck's sake.

That might be the coolest kick ever thrown, period.

 

[frederick]

It's hard to call. Silva's front kick had unreal snap to it, but Machida's was flying.

You joke but it's a standard part of Sensei Seagal's repertoire.
