more to the shin, ppl have to take week+ off if they get kicked to the calf just one time in practice... this was mentioned during the broadcast tonight thats how stupid this kick is.... 1 strike can take a guy out for a week of practice because it hit a nerve.....Dont they do calf kicks in Muay Thai? No dont ban them. Just let fighters figure out how to deal with them.
Fighters need to learn to check em, if someone checks a calf kick and their leg breaks Anderson Silva style that shit would stop quick.
It's not because we think they are too damaging, but they are easy to just spam and spam and spam and spam. It's almost like a cheat. As if a fighter could throw a strike that can't be stopped. It's boring.MMA fans are some of the biggest snowflakes I’ve ever seen to seriously suggest banning calf kicks is fucking ridiculous.
You guys arguing in favor with banning them need to put on your big boy pants it’s a fucking fight
Do you get tired of punches?
Its been said by a lot of people that calf kicks cant really be defended because they cant be checked, so its pretty much you either move forward to the point where you simply dont care if you get KO'ed which is not very realistic, or you simply will be taken out of the fight.
