wrestling_hermit 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2009 I've seen a few people posting saying leg kicks can't win fights. I however, disagree; does nobody remember Brandon Vera winning by tko due to leg kicks? How about Rob Emerson losing to Rafael Dos Anjos? Leg kicks are far more effective than many people give them credit for and in my opinion should be given more leverage on judges score cards. In all honest I did think Shogun would lose to Machida but was surprised to see how effective Shoguns gameplan was. I do believe that Shogun should have won, however, and it has been said many times,there is always a risk when you leave the decision up to the judges. Should Machida relinquish the belt? No. Should Shogun be given a rematch? In my opinion: Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
