If you’re creating a top list of most dangerous leg kickers in MMA history, Jose Aldo’s name belongs near the top.
The former UFC featherweight champ devastated several opponents throughout his career with sharp leg kicks punctuating his striking combinations. In his return from a brief MMA retirement, Aldo (31-8 MMA, 13-7 UFC) will face Jonathan Martinez at UFC 301, another fighter known for his lower-limb attacks.
Martinez (19-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) has ended two of his last three fights by leg kick TKO. Cub Swanson and Adrian Yanez tried to fight through the pain, but Martinez’s repeated attacks on their injured legs rendered them unable to continue.
