Media Was this a top 3 head kick KO in UFC history

[Intermission]

This is one of the most advanced head kicks I've seen in the sport. The main reason is his timing but also the hip roll over

@Slobodan waiting in Incognito Mode to ban the first guy that posts Gonzaga vs Crocop...

I'd say yes if we go of roundhouse classic high kicks. All high kicks maybe no. Considering the crazy spinning ones and crane kicks ect.

This is the equivalent of Barboza outwrestling Khabib and submitting him.

Shad's decapitation of Salmon was pretty brutal. He looked like he dieded in there.

Top 3 based on what? Difficulty of opposition, unique set-up, application of technique, meaningfulness relative to division (i.e. contender fight/title fight/etc.)...I mean how are you even trying to quantify this?

If we start trying to use measurable inferences to determine what would make it "top" I don't think it's up there for pretty much anything except how clean it landed/how brutal it was, which are nice qualities but don't really rocket it to the top of any "all-time" list.

It was one of the top 3 head kick KO's of last year. But if this is one of the most advanced head kicks you've ever seen you haven't seen a lot of head kicks.

Imo Chandler's ko of Ferguson is the best headkick ko of all time. No technique, sheer brutality.

Number 2 is Edson vs etim

Number 3 is lando vs makdessi

I remember when the UFC was still with FOX, one fighter at 125 (IIRC) threw a head kick that missed and followed it up with a spinning wheel kick. Didn't knock the guy out but it looked pretty cool.

He turned his hip over alright!

ApPLIcaTion of technique and outcome.

But top 3, in ufc history? No way.

Nah. Cormier answered the phone with Jones head kick.

 

[laleggenda27]

It's not even top 10.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Nah. Cormier answered the phone with Jones head kick.

Nah, Cormier has always said that he sees it as the loss by getting head kicked that it is.

Keep your "I'm just dense" act and that weaponized autism in your Michael Jai White fanboy threads

Tiago Santos’s against Bosse should be mentioned, you can literally hear the sound of bones hitting..

UFC fighter Thiago Santos KO's Steve Bosse with vicious head kick

It only took 29 seconds for Thiago Santos to finish Steve Bosse at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero. Videos by FanBuzz Bosse entered the night with just one loss in 11 fights, but he dropped his hands as he moved into a boxing stance and Santos took advantage with a ferocious head kick...
