What do you guys think about Soccer Kicks? I know it was a big debate at one point - that Mixed Martial Arts should allow any kind of strike anywhere on the mat, but surely this kick of KO reminds us why they are gone from 'most' promotions?

Possibly so but elbows can do it most things can its a very brave sport to take part in. Im speaking from a fans point of view here about the rules they would like for the mma i watch. I wouldn't last 5 minutes with them rules and im the first to admit it lol.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad that MMA has evolved.

But I do enjoy every once in a while throwing in an old school MMA event with vale tudo rules and enjoying the violence.

I think they have their place in certain promotions, but I'm glad that the promotions trying to push MMA as a 'sport' have got rid of them. I'm not against elbows or even knees to the head on the ground, but soccer kicks - when you consider just how hard you can kick a football - it's only a matter of time before someone gets made a vegetable or their neck broken or something.
