UFC 130 is now in the books an the dust is beginning to settle.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson outclassed Matt “The Hammer” Hamill just like Frank Mir did to Roy “Big Country” Nelson.

Stefan Struve and Jorge Santiago were both finished, the former in a spectacular fashion, by their adversaries Travis Browne and Brian Stann respectively.

On the Spike TV portion of the card, Demetrius Johnson lived up to his “Mighty Mouse” namesake and managed to out-scramble Miguel Torres en route to a unanimous decision and the reinvigorated Tim “The Barbarian” Boetsch proved too in terms of strength much for Kendal Grove, the former winning a lopsided decision.

On the Facebook preliminaries, Renan Barão, Michael McDonald, and Gleison Tibau were all victorious.

Despite the event being only mediocre, there are some important lessons to take away from it. What are they? Read and find out!

Anderson Silva’s Front Kick of Doom and 6 of the Best Kicks in MMA/UFC History

There’s something almost universal about an epic KO. Fans of Mixed Martial Arts like the sport for many reasons, reasons that sometimes divide them into groups: those that prefer the ground game over striking, those that prefer Japanese MMA rules as opposed to America’s Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts, etc.

Occasionally, those groups argue with each other. But if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s this: there’s almost nothing quite as amazing as an awesome KO.

And at least in my opinion, it’s tougher to knock someone out with a kick than with a single punch or even a barrage of punches. A perfect KO kick requires exact balance, precise timing, and deadly power.

So, with that in mind, I’d like to present six of my favorite kicks from all around the MMA world: from the Ultimate Fighting Championship to PRIDE Fighting Championships to World Extreme Cagefighting to DREAM. Let’s get started.
