The response to the catching of the kick is an important consideration. I don’t think throwing a strike with the left or right hand or elbow is generally viable because of the balance and distance limitations and inability to throw power. I tend to think immediately turning 180 degrees with the trunk and ripping the right leg from the opponent while moving away is a better response, albeit not without risk. Alternatively, perhaps using the left hand against the opponent’s right bicep as a brace and using the right arm to pull up on the opponent’s left arm while pushing down with the right hip and leg, again somewhat similar to a potential wrestling defense to a single leg—or paired with a head butt out of the ring. Interested in Trav’s response or other knowledgeable fighters. But I know standing there without moving the head is a knockout invitation.
It is the same thing Anderson did, it’s just that the kick placement was higher on Silva than on Patan
Silva didn’t raise his leg…
Hmm yeah but shouldn’t that lowkick be accompanied by a right cross?
Sure you can catch beginners with this but people who know combos?
Def not full power kick…kinda staged…wonder if shin is angled so that the kicker is funneled up to the hand after landing?
You guys who are not believing this.
You guys, have definitely never sparred in your life before, or maybe several of times.
This wasn’t a pro fight or a hard sparring round.
Pereira would’ve knocked the sparring partner out, if it was a hard round.
Dude popped right up!
This was light sparring, to work technique and save some brain cells.
When you’ve gotten punched in the face for 7 years, you what moves are possible.
That was most definitely, impressive technique!
