Why is no one doing clothes lines in the UFC?

[superpunch]

Bas Rutten talks about it and wonders why no one's doing it at 29:50. I've timestamped the video:



If you try this technique out on a bag, it has almost the same power as a Thai roundhouse kick. EXCEPT you can deliver it as high as a highkick AND it has the speed and mobility of a punch. And, like a kick, even if you block it then it still fucking hurts. It's like a cheat code. It's such an awesome move.

Why aren't we seeing it in MMA that much?

UFC Needs ropes. hard to send an opponet bouncing off the cage

This is a serious move. It's like a Thai kick but you can go high and it's mobile and fast. It's fucking lethal.

 

[Hulkster79]

Someone might duck it and pull a small package or something.

 

[Ronin13]

Jon Jones fall fashion sneak peak.

 

[Bboy]

I think John Dodson knocked out TJ Dillashaw with a clothesline. It was a forearm strike for sure.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

This is a serious move. It's like a Thai kick but you can go high and it's mobile and fast. It's fucking lethal.

How many people have you seen hit it in high level competition?

 

[Billthebutcher]

Reebok has all the keys.

 

[BenjaminDuffy]

Someone might duck it and pull a small package or something.

Or worse yet, a Sunset Press. So humiliating.

 

[Serenity Now]

So wing ur arm extended

Seems like it will be horrible for defense, it will leave you way too exposed imo

 

[chaos_36]

Could definitely end a fight with this technique.

 

[Sakurabaism]

cuz reversal

 

[Erocthadon]

I'd rather see a DDT when going for a guillotine, or would that be considered spiking?

 

[PTSDtreatment]

Perhaps the real master has to teach it to a Brazilian in a title fight and it will become a thing....

 

[blaseblah]

 

[chaos_36]

cuz reversal

Potential armbar reversal too.

 

[Genisys]

Why no figure four? If done correct, no can defend.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Someone might duck it and pull a small package or something.

This is golden

Same reason we dont see them climb the cage and jump off on someone I guess. Would be interesting since it not against the rules. When someone finishes with a Boston crab I'm done.
