Leg kicks continue to play a bigger role in mixed martial arts, and few fighters have used them as effectively in recent years as UFC bantamweight Jonathan Martinez.
There are plenty of UFC athletes who rely on leg kicks as part of their game, like Alex Pereira, Justin Gaethje and Edson Barboza, just to name a few. There are also standout moments, like Dustin Poirier’s first win over Conor McGregor, where Poirier chopped down McGregor’s calf before landing the finishing shots upstairs.
