I think he both upkicked him AND elbowed him from the bottom in that fight...I was just watching that earlier today, that's what spurred me to ask this Q
Riggs didn't KO Lytle with that upkick. It was cut stoppage from that elbow.
Yea. That's the closest to one that i've ever seen
they're not illegal so long as the person you're kicking is standing. if he has a knee down, then its a kick to the face of a downed opponent and its illegal.
closet KO up kicks ive ever seen both involve joe riggs
salaverry pretty much knocked him out with the one then secuired the triangle
and the one with lytle was very close to but both ended in different situations than a KO
I don't remember who did it, but i remember one that knocked someone halfway across the cage, then he fell over, but the other guy couldn't get up and over there in time to finish off the fight. still pretty cool though
