Thompson thinks Barboza is the greatest kicker in MMA

[Swepingright]

He's about ten years late, and it wasn't even true back then.

Nr 1 right now is probably Izzy. Before that Anderson Silva and Cro Cop

 

[Iron Nick]

How the hell is Anderson supposed to be amongst the best kickers MMA ever had?

He might be the best MMA striker of all time, but there are quite a few guys who are/were better kickers.

 

[taxevader86]

Crocop imo.

.

fast, technical, good timing. Similiar to Izzy.

 

[Iron Nick]

Also Barboza is absolutely amongst the best kickers in MMA.

Don't forget that he fought and still fights in the best divisions MMA has to offer and also got robbed here and there.

 

[Swepingright]

Crocop imo.

He's retired

I mean his KO of Vitor was awesome as fuck, but aside from that?
Guys like Barboza and Gaethje have crippled guys with their kicks fairly consistently, but that doesn't hold true for Andy...

 

[Reach4theSky]

No shame in that, he's a great kicker..

 

[Gilday]

How many other guys have stoppages via leg, body and headkick?

Gaethje wasn't in Andersons era. It's also hard to compare these things between weight classes. There's no doubt that Anderson had some of the most technical kicks ever in MMA.

 

[Swepingright]

No shame in that, he's a great kicker..

Do you have anymore highlights besides that one?

Anderson having the best knees would make more sense

 

[Marko Polo]

Izzy or Cyril

 

[Iron Nick]

Anderson having the best knees would make more sense

Yeah, i agree.

TS,
It's great to have an opinion.

However, you are saying someone else's opinion is wrong and yours is right. And you give no evidence to support your opinion, you just state it.

And the other guy... well he's one of the best MMA fighter's in the world.

I'll go with his opinion.

Barboza.

Did anyone of his kicks even sting on Khabib?

 

[pinero]

Do you have anymore highlights besides that one?

Do you need more?

 

[EnergyExorcist]

p4p his speed and power is really impressive, great lowkicks, body switch kick, spinning back kick, spinning wheel kick that he actually lands constantly and probably only WB himself can match him in that
