Meh.

Leg kicks in MMA are a lot like body shots in boxing. They're damned effective over time... but when your opponent is responding by hitting you in the head, you begin to doubt whether taking a long term strategy is the best option.

I think the primary difference between the two is that you have to expose yourself when executing body shots. You can execute leg kicks from enough range that you are in much less danger.
