shogun is the only mma fighter to every throw a soccer kick.....god damn, you learn something new everyday
no. You may know there was this Sports science episode that tested ground and pound punches,the average punch thrown by RC(Randy Couture) generated up to 2000lb of force. Now imagine Stomps and SK? Better left for killing roaches and futbol players.
soccer kick I wouldn't mind, but by stomp...Does tha mean STOMP your opponents head in? If so I think that's to freakin far. If you mount a guy, raise up, and throw long punches with full power, and connect...The dude is going to be hurt. Typically if somebody gets full mount like that, and rain bombs the other guy is of course toast. Your opponents head has no place to go when you hit him. Your hitting him as hard as possible, and his head is stuck on the canvas, his brain snapping against against the mat as he lies there. Now, if you take your foot while he's in the same position, and stomp his head, and his brain jabs in to the mat with 5X the force probably...That could seriously hurt somebody. Elbows on the ground are dangerous enough, stomps while there on the ground is pushing it to a new extreme.
**** it, it would make you thnk twice about fighting like a *****(werdum) vs overeem and Leites when he fought anderson silva.
Sports science is a crock. Last time that I watched that garbage, they were claiming that GSP punches harder than Shogun kicks. I do, however, agree with the point that you're trying to make about the force of kicks on a person who's head is trapped against a hard surface.
Never going to happen. The Athletic Commissions simply won't allow it. Things like that had to be done away with in order to get this sport where it is today.
nobody whos out gets stomped bad usually its blocked or slowed down in some way its less violent then the simplistic image of someone getting stomped in the head with full force
Exactly. Hell, even 12:6 elbows should be legalized. Same with up-kicks. It would eliminate alot of stalling on the ground.
