Sorry, it's so obscure that I didn't know exactly what to call it lol. I'm talking about a snap kick/teep from your rear leg. When I took karate as a kid a million years ago, this was one of the staple kicks, and it's versatile- it can go to your opponent's stomach just as easily as their groin.
I was just watching the Muslim Salikov fight where he threw it repeatedly. It's clearly effective for him- why don't we see more of this in striking sports? It's quite fast and requires little setup, it's reasonably powerful in that you're using your quads to drive forward. You're not that easy to counter when you're throwing it. I don't think it's incredibly powerful in that it's likely to get a guy out of there (well at least not unless you can hit the groin), but it could be added to mix as a good long distance strike. No one wants to get front kicked to their guy 5-10 times in a fight. Just not popular at the moment?
