Oblique kick should be banned from UFC

[r-harper-1]

A shin to the dome seems dangerous….ban it

 

[Volador]

Oblique kick is the GOAT.

Jon Jones ruined Rampages knees with those kicks.

 

[Patman]

the one that landed for roundtree was to the side of the knee. i think when its to the front its okay. its a quick snap that often does not deal serious damage and usually less than a knee bar would. to the side though there is nothing the leg can do to flex or brace for that. its hard to land how he did but that strike should be banned. to the side of the knee like roundtree did. otherwise its fine. they never end from it hitting the front of the knee.

Correct. The knee is able to hyperextend momentarily. It happens to punter's knees all the time when they kick:

Now, is this the healthiest thing to do to you knee? No. Neither is this to your elbows:

This is sports. Athletes put their bodies on the line. Do you wanna throw 100mph or do you want elbows that never get inflamed? Pick one.

Excessive weight cutting should be banned way before oblique kicks.

I wish anyone with this pussy mindset could be banned from watching combat sports of any kind

 

[20falarVerdades]

Ironically, this probably wouldn't have happened if soccer kicks and stomps were allowed. We need less regulation in MMA

Lol at all the morons saying

A broken nose from a punch is not as bad as a torn apart knee from a kick.

in the history of the ufc, how many people have had severe injuries via oblique kick versus other techniques? there ya go. ban nothing

 

[Bigmoney4166]

I always said that but people laughed at me like "go watch WWE or dance"

I'm so happy this dude released this video:

They still laugh at you.

No it shouldn't . Neither should knees to a the head of a grounded fighter , soccer kicks , head stomps , 12-6 elbows. Only blows to the back of the head and the obvious stuff like eye pokes , small joint manipulation and groin strikes . I don't care what this click bate soy face doctor has to see . Fighting is dangerous and brutal but the whole point of the sport is to see what's actually effective in Vale Tudo style prize fighting . If you don't like that go somewhere else .

Agreed

Rampage ruined his own knees by not blocking / checking the kick

Rampage

The argument against them is stupid nonsense. Armbars that can break your arm are legal. Heel hooks that can rip apart your knee are legal. Shots to the head that can give you CTE are legal.

But oblique kicks should be illegal? Because people think they "look cheap?" Maybe mma isn't the sport for you guys.

 

[NoSmilez]

It shouldn't be banned but don't bitch at recovery times. Wonderboy, Till and Bobby knuckles got their knees blown out but two of them use this move themselves.

 

[BangBang]

All the hard man keyboard warriors as always.. they are a dirty kick and have no place in sport. Literally a kick where the purpose is to catch the guy with a straight leg and break it. Should be purely for self defence.

......
And attack is the best form of (self-) defence

 

[Paynebringer]

Leave the Oblique Kick alone motherf*kers need to learn to check & defend them. I think head stomps and soccer kicks are offensive but Pride age motherf*kers still cry for them. Oblique kicks is a precision strike that can be defended, not my fault you ain't train for it...

 

[Arrrrgh]

The sport is fighting dude.
If a technique is dangerous, learn to defend or counter it.

BREAKING NEWS:
GETTING KO'D IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH.

BAN ALL KOS IN MMA.

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

It's disgusting, despicable, and I never wanna see another one thrown again

 

[kingofthecans]

If ya ban one thing then ya have to allow something else. Rule number 7!!!

on topic, i think they should be banned,too. seems like a self defense move and nothing else, just like a shoulder crank. as some have said, they are like subs with no way of tapping (moreso the oblique kick).
