Media Upkick KO on One Championship

That was awesome. Agree it maybe the best upkick KO ever. The Mousasi upkick KO of Jacare was good, but that was more so Mousasi catching Jacare in a chaotic exchange. This one was straight up intentional and landed flush.

@ 28:00 for anyone interested in watching.

This is what pops in my mind whenever someone brings up upkick ko
The technique in the video is using the back of the heel in an axe kick motion, which is far more devastating, I’m suprised we don’t see it more than we do
 
Nico Price vs James Vick, Vick's 37th KO in a row
Ferguson vs Edwards, TUF 12, chicken shit to chicken salad

Fighters might be worried about getting DQ'd since all it takes is 1 knee slightly touching the ground to completely invalidate the kick. There's also the fact that the version with the heel takes more leg dexterity than the average UFC fighter possesses.
 
One is awesome. The camera angles take some getting used to
 
Geez that was fuckin crazy, full on heel to the jaw!
Happens at around 28 minutes in, just in case folks want to skip ahead
 
I'm honestly shocked we don't see more upkick KOs because there's so many times when a guy is looking to enter the guard from standing and the heels are flying past his chin by inches. But everyone always seems so confident that they wont get hit, like it's almost impossible for it to happen.

you kinda said it though, it is rare to be upkicked KO'd. upkicks miss by inches because it's easy to see or feel it coming.

if kicks were allowed to a down opponent it'd be another story though.
