The Spider-Kick better than the Showtime-Kick?
This is more of a plea for someone to make a gif of that front kick Silva blasted Vitor with and made his eyes roll back with....
Im thinking both kicks were insane (obviously)....
:lol:
Re: The Spider-Kick better than the Showtime-Kick?
No. 2 totally different types of kick.
The Pettis kick was something of creativity, Jones backwards leap frog was more comparable as just an awesome unexpected move.

Yea one was flashy and one had a guys eyes rolled-back.....
Both are legendary
I personally think the Silva knock out made me excited more like the Bj Penn knock out of Matt Hughes.
Pettis actually didn't ko anybody. His kick was more like Silva pulling out a sub on Sonnen with 90 seconds left. Part of the great thing about Pettis was he did what nobody ever does, he had seconds left in a title fight and instead of pulling the whole "cautious fighter" routine, he did something special.

Silva's made me more excited, because of the knockout combined with the kick, no doubt.
Pettis' was just a creative kick, didn't really hurt anyone.

People seem to forget that Bendo was rocked by the kick. I think if you ask him he'll say he was hurt.

It almost looked like he was laying by himself. Not sure how much rocked was ben, but even if you're right its still nowhere near a knockout like last nights'.

Rocked and straight up knocked out where you bounce off your own knee are totally different though. I thought both kicks were amazing, but Silva produced one most from out of nowhere knockouts I've ever seen. Silva has used that kick before, but its mainly used to keep your opponent at the end of your strikes like a jab, this dude goes out and KOs a guy with it.

Henderson was floored from that kick.. It certainly "hurt" him... It was a quarter inch off from shutting off his lights...

:? WTF??? "Didn't hurt anyone" ???? So I assume that u must have blinked a few times or possibly went blind after the Pettis superman-kick! B.Hendo got dropped and had there been a 1min more left in the round then IMO Pettis wouldve won via TKO.
Guess u also missed the post fight interview w/ Joe Rogan where one side of B.Hendo's face was inflated and the other side?? Hmmm... Not so much.. Guess that kick didn't have much mustard on it at all huh???
Come on now! Let's not be too delusional about this comparison
Pettis kick > Silvas kick
There ya go!^^^ .....fixed it for ya
