Khalil Rountree On Side Kick TKO

UFC Light Heavyweight contender Khalil Rountree Jr. is considered to be one of the top strikers in his weight class. Rountree is known for his hard kicks, but in a fight against Modestas Bukauskas he used a controversial style of low kick called a side kick. This kick is intended to hyperextend your opponents knee and potentially injure it. Although some don't like the move, Rountree as well as his opponent felt like it's a fair move to use in a fight. #ufc #khalilrountree #shorts

This is way more dangerous the 12-6 elbows

Why are all of Khalil’s stoppages the most brutal stoppages ever lmao

[hakr]

Modestas is a classy man for defending rountree

[josemarialaguinge]

Respect Bukauskas, it'll be interesting to see how Alex deals with the oblique kicks.

Good to see Bukaskas doing well after that fight, 5-1 after Khalil

Bukauskas came back from that and won most of his next fights too, glad it wasn't career ending

[RobertStMary-ryex]

That knee kick is a career ender. Too vicious!

[ZER-CL]

A technique that sends people to the hospital for surgery and 6-12 months off afterwards shouldn’t be allowed in professional sports.
As fans we want to see healthy athletes having long and active careers.

While i think it should be legal, I find it really difficult to defend. It should be legal bc we want to keep it as pure and as "real" of a fight as possible. But I still hate it at the same time

[MRxJOHNx]

Just don't cry when someone does it to you

[electrixz]

Respect to his opponent for giving him his credit

[Willrocs]

Why is this kick even allowed when knees aren’t allowed on grounded opponent ?

[PS-qvxv]

This is potentially a career ending technique. Should not be legal

[DorianBeHigh]

“The same thing could have happened to me, but I was ready.”

[moregaragedateswithnatespl]

That kick needs banned for competition

[rosemarietolentino]

MMA is a game that looks like a fight. You don’t have to beat up your opponent. You just need to win the game.

[DDog]

Ok, Jon Jones. Jon was known for doing this he did it to Ram Page Jackson..

[ryanchun]

This should be illegal. Practically no defense to it and can end your entire career.

[jask]

For anyone that doesn’t know, yes Bukauskas had to get knee surgery after this, he was able to come back though.

It's a shame that the losing fighter has to tell ufc fans not be mad at the winner, and to stop giving the him sh¡t! Casual mma fans are the worst! It's ok to root for one fighter to win! But to attack the other fighter just because your fighter lost and got hurt is just sad! It shows that they don't have a meaningful life and that they're own personal happiness depends on whether a fighter that they don't even know is successful in his life! Smh!
