Boicast 196: First they came for the Oblique Kick, and I said nothing because I hate Jon Jones

If you didn’t watch mikuru asakura vs aoki then you missed a stoppage on par with Turner vs Green if not worse actually
Asking who has had their career ended after getting leg stomped on the same weekend that Darren till struggles to beat a 50 year old Romero is classic.
Artur Kyshenko mentioned blast from the past, slacky. i remember looking up his videos to learn trips and cutting kicks, if memory serves... looking him up 10y later, his overall legacy seems to be good body shots, and horsemeat physique
If oblique kicks get banned they should retroactively remove all of Jon Jones' wins like how his "loss" was overturned after 12 to 6 elbows became legal
I honestly think the gloves were tampered with specifically because of the political optics of the situation. Justin and is team are still dirtbags for doing it if that is the case but that administration is too petty and corrupt not to encourage for something like that to happen plus the UFC itself got another company man a win and toppled the negotiating power of a rising star. It all just seems too convenient
Can't believe the best Cumtown bit wasn't Ben Shapiro Meets Mr. Feeny. "You won the Meet Mr. Feeny contest and wore a suit, and a yarmulke, and a roller backpack."
Rampage Jackson figured out the loophole that if you slam a guy you’re allowed to headbutt him right in the chin. Very funny to hear him complain but also very…Rampage Jackson
there's a reason why he aint named quentin "Calm and Reasonable" Jackson
You wrote: "Fedor, along with Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva, has had arguably the most success using hand traps of any fighter in MMA" Would love something on MMA hand traps. Especially as boxing has risen and seems to be falling once again in MMA.
I beg of you, please please please do an Artur Kyshenko article or breakdown or anything. He's such a fun fighter and I've been studying him for mobile combo punching recently and would love to hear your thoughts
Kuziutina only loss is to Fatima Kline. Hopefully she comes to the ufc rather than beat up all the women in Rizin lmao
Warra tangent on our question by the way that was vintage. 10/10
Still waiting on that Eryk Anders article
Then they came for the eye poke, and I said "Ref, that's the 3rd time, are you gonna take a point what?"
then cereal gains defends the HW belt by going knuckle deep, bowling-ball style "ref, it's the 3rd opponent who's left with 2 jellied eye sockets. take a point maybe?"
Phenomenal titling
I could be wrong but I thought Miguel Torres had a career ending injury from an oblique kick in a kickboxing fight
Re: the history stuff, I'm reminded of what Dan Carlin reiterates, "I'm not a historian, I just read the best"
What a title
Amazing first notification of the day
Now that’s a title
Oblique kick? Fn illegal. Eye poke? Illegal once we have given you seven increasingly stern warnings and the opponent has confirmed lasting retina damage.
And its a no contest
Banger of an ep title
First
