Are "soccer kicks" to the body allowed?

[Ghost Bro]

i.e. to a downed opponent.

Why don't more people do that? That's a fight ender right there.

I've seen it done in the UFC with no foul called. That doesn't mean there shouldn't have been though...

 

[Judobill]

It's legal.

Agree although that was pretty much already finished. The ass kicks had become a trend for a while (from cerone to Alvarez) always annoyed me that people didn't hunt the body.

That's what I'm talking about.

Thug Kicks.
Also stomps to the body? If footstomps/kneestomps are Allowed why would anyone sit there holding someone's ankles/ try to throw them to the side to pass..? Is it some unwritten code of conduct?

Cerrone vs Jury. Those were some "fuck you kicks"

Yep but imagine those kicks targetting the body and not the thigh/ass.

Imho a guy has to be hurt to get a good soccer kick or extremely gassed.. most ppl square up and get bk to their feet if contact is broken... very devastating kick if placed on a organ...

What a surprise Mr. Sleepy Yamasaki was reffing that fight and wasn't sure if he should stop the fight or not.


Chinzo Machida launched a soccer kick to the body in his last fight i believe.

I have seen people warned for stomps

Yh what I mean is you see in One FC and Pride videos, people stepping out and over, then soccer kicking the head, same movement would allow you to get a pretty good body kick in there with the back leg as well.

Leave you vulnerable to getting single or double legged, unless the guy is hurt
