That kick was ok

I guess

Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.

That

Was not a wheel kick. A wheel kick involves going to the ground. Thats a spinning roundhouse kick

it's a back hook kick in taekwondo

Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Saw gif, I was happy.

Not as brutal as Evans/Liddell though.

huh?

Etim was stiff before he hit the ground and was hit in spectacular fashion which makes it more brutal. Liddell got hit and just fell down like a rag doll, still bad but not as bad as this KO.

What the banana sandwich was that?

I cant believe I had work and missed this, great gif

P4P(my opinion based on talent): Silva, GSP, Aldo, Jones, Cruz

Wow

that was a sick kick

by menace on Jan 14, 2012 11:30 PM EST reply actions  

That kick was something out of a Tekken game.

I expected to see a flurry of punches to a falling player to finish it off

Thats me and Marco Antonio Barrera in the profile picture.

Awesome KO

I love the way he set that up earlier in the fight with the same kick to the body – you can see in the gif there Etim goes to block to the body.
