Who is/was the strongest leg kicker in MMA? (Gifs welcomed)

[TCE]

I know he's returned to his old routes of kickboxing, but my vote goes to Pat Barry, dude had some vicious leg kicks that put people away.

My second pick goes to Justin Gaethje, he's had quite a few leg kick TKO's recently, it's hard not to put as one of the best leg kickers in the game.

Barboza has the most wins via leg kicks so he's my choice

1. Barboza
2. Aldo
3. Barry
4. Shogun

Comparing Barboza or Aldo to Barry or Mirko is not even remotely fair.

 

[The real JG]

Rob Emerson.

Manhoef destroyed Lawler's legs. Robbie was limping immediately after the fight. It was butchery.

 

[Ballsaque]

Easily Rizzo. Easily.

 

[eNoq]

Rizzo and it's not even close.

Easily Rizzo. Easily.

Couture said he has a dent in his leg muscle to this day.

Manhoef destroyed Lawler's legs. Robbie was limping immediately after the fight. It was butchery.

Melvin was sleeping after the fight. Better to limp away a winner than wake up a loser.

Barboza has the most wins via leg kicks so he's my choice

1. Barboza
2. Aldo
3. Barry
4. Shogun

Barboza has 3 wins by leg kicks, as does Gaethje.

Good list.

Gonna go with pat on power, they always looked brutal

I love it when a guy fully commits to hard leg kicks. Ricardo Arona used to throw hard too, to add to your list.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Gaethje is nasty. I wish to hell he was in the UFC.

No doubt my man. That's one of my favorite fights ever. But Melvin was working Robbie's legs bad.

 

[Primitivo]

Barry.

Ricardo Arona



Never has a fighter taken down so many guys with a single leg kick. That guy had dynamite in his kicks. I swear I've never seen a guy who can leg kick as hard as him to this day. Now if we're talking technique etc there's other guys but for brute strength and power in his kicks there's nobody on Aronas level. Good examples of technical and strong kickers are listed like Barbosa and Pat Berry... definitely hard kickers who are known for that part of their game... but nobody kicked or has ever kicked with the sheer impact of Arona. Dude was a fucking killer with those kicks. If he couldn't somehow take you down with grappling you knew it was just a matter of time before the leg kicks started coming. Same goes for if you pressured him or cornered him.. you better look out for those leg kicks. It was essentially his entire stand up game. Kick, take down, attempt gnp and subs or wet blanket a guy. That's his fighting style in a nutshell.

Robbie's legs were touching the ceiling

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Barboza has 3 wins by leg kicks, as does Gaethje.

Good list.

Barboza vs Gaethje to settle it once and for all.

Pat Barry only walks away a winner against old men and cans, yet he's mentioned

Pat Barry was a destroyer of legs.
