Why did Aldo stop throwing leg kicks?

Nobody wants a leg like this...

Although I think with Anderson a lot of the issue was he is not a natural lowkicker, he threw the odd one here and there of course but dispite the MT background it was really more boxing and knees that were his forte the the odd high kick thrown in.

He was forced to shift to lowkicks against Weidman but he wasn't setting them up well and throwing them with poor form which is arguably why his leg got broken. I don't think its a coincidence that Pele broke his leg in almost the same fashion as he was technically the Chute Boxe guy most similar to Anderson.
