Top Five Most Vicious Head Kicks In MMA History

1. Edson Barboza vs Terry Etim

You can’t look at a “best kicks” list and not expect to see Edson Barboza’s name. His kicks have some serious power, and he’s crippled opponents with leg kicks alone.

At UFC 142, Barboza knocked out Terry Etim with a kick. But it wasn’t just any kick- it was a spinning hook kick thrown so quickly that you’ll miss it if you blink. And it wasn’t just any knock out. Etim was out on his feet and fell backwards like a tree cut down in the woods. This kick ranks number one because of Barboza’s execution and the shocking manner in which Etim fell.
