Jose Aldo, leg terrorist. Since his days in the WEC (RIP), the Brazilian limb-destroyer has earned a reputation for low kicking with fury and grace.
While they’ve long been prominent, his vicious leg kicks reached mythical popularity after a particularly ugly beating of Urijah Faber. The former WEC featherweight champion’s leg was so battered, his cornerman had to carry him to the stool between rounds.
While Aldo’s low kicks have never directly resulted in a stoppage, just one or two can have a dramatic impact on any given fight. It is with great disappointment fans have observed the diminishing presence of Aldo’s kicking game.
