Machida will win via capoeira kick

5 round glorified sparring match, controversial split decision for Machida.
 
Only Bigfoot Silva can pull that move off.
 
you know whats funny about that kick.. you can't counter it. can't kick the guy doing in in the face. nice rules!
 
Honestly that is a risky move.. and Machida isn't the guy who often takes risks

Yeah but if Gegard goes for a leg kick then he might hit Machida in the head lol

Oh and the kick is legal if it is thrown before the hand is down I believe.
 
Reminds me of Pettis vs Cerrone, when Pettis threw that cartwheel kick that missed and Cerrone threw the knee. Would have to be a similar counter from Gegard.

Cowboy kneed Pettis in the face while he attempted a cartwheel kick
I remember Big John talking about it in a video, he says if a fighter deliberately has one hand on the mat you can strike him in the head. Also said if Belfort hit that head kick he threw when jones crawled out he would've deemed it legal.

Vitor always lets me down when it counts
 
Please, someone make it a gif. This "bico de papagaio"/cartwheel kick is amazing.

big john is one single ref.

are you saying if anyone is downing themselves intentionally with a hand or knee they can be kicked to the head? im sure all ref would call a stop to the action.
