UFC and Bellator Technique Recap: Anatomy of a Front Kick

Bloody Elbow's Connor Ruebusch breaks down the two front kick finishes that highlighted a disappointing weekend of MMA.

The weekend of October 23rd seemed full of promise. Friday was supposed to see Nova Uniao standout vie for his old belt against current champion and former training partner Marcos Galvão. The UFC was set to anchor the weekend with a card full of prospects and wayward mid-tier fighters, headlined by two of the most exciting fighters in the stacked lightweight division, Dustin Poirier and Joseph "last guy to beat Conor McGregor" Duffy, with heavyweights Stipe Miocic and Ben Rothwell in the co-main slot.
