My Muay Thai coach hates it every time we kick like Alex 😂
There is a video Fedor Emilianenko explaining his kicking technique, exactly like this.
Yyghuuihyyuiiyyuuiijk
pretty obvious what he's doing; he's using it like a jab. By not turning his hips and committing so much he's making it that much harder to counter thus he can use it that much more.
It's a lot like a jab in that it's not going to ko you but you can't ignore it and it's going to both disrupt your offence and make you work around it.
The flexed foot allows for a denser surface area when the kick lands
Inside crescent kick.
They’re feelers, and when he knows he’s got it, he’s got it 😂
People keep thinking he has power, but it's actually the opposite. It's just ridiculous technique. Unlike other mma fighters who are mostly amateur rank at best when their skillsets are broken down. Alex is literally a pro/elite level kickboxer. Alex has most likely practiced his kick and left hand for almost 15-20 years of his life. Most mma fighters don't have this kind of experience. Before stepping into the UFC, Alex already held 11 titles in multiple organizations. 2 of those titles were world championships in 2 different weight classes. That's just a ridiculous amount of accomplishments and accolades before entering MMA.
Mma fighters suck at fighting, as soon as someone who was good at a different sport comes along he beats everybody. They don't know how to punch and they don't know how to kick. Argue with the wall.
It's odd that you use Justin Gaethje as an example when he is also one of the best calf-kickers in the UFC…
The opponent puts his supporting foot down and takes the kick, there is no way to defend, Alex is insane.
#4 his reinforced titanium alloy skeleton. Standard in all terminators.
Its ALMOST more of a Silat trip than a MT strike. Btw, also he has great discipline keeping the kick so slow he almost grazes the matte.
Izzy probably the only fighter in the UFC who knows Pereira enough to see the kick coming. It’s fast but he has a tell when it’s coming, he dips back and lowers his body, not as obvious as turning your shoulders but it’s there.
The difference is he knows how to play soccer and the others don’t.
Reminds me of a simple soccer ball kick. Perhaps for a pass. Low key strikes definitely get through more.
This would have saved Diddy from getting arrested and it's cheap, wouldn't have got a better deal.😂
Only Alex can do that because it's super dangerous
It's almost like he's intentionally trying to use the ankle bone in his kicks.
Fun fact: pirera used this type of kick because he has a foot condition called a bunion
his foot faces sideways while kicking and turn up right after contact
Also he has a rare foot stacture like an extra bone that is like a metal ball
He kicks correctly. You can also kick with the top of your foot after you develop the 3" by 4" calluse on top of the foot.
Ele busca contundência não impacto. Ele bate com a lateral do pé; que possui uma formação única então causa dor sem sair nenhum milÃmetro da base. CHAMA 🔥
Purest secretIs he is always looking at his opponent.
He never takes his eyes off of him
Say what you want but Justin kicks like a trying to mush your calves. Effective much!
