3. Jose Aldo
Urijah Faber can still feel those leg kicks. During Jose Aldo’s 10-year reign as Strikeforce and UFC lightweight champion, he was unstoppable. He was also incredibly brutal, out-striking every fighter who stood in front of him. Above all, one of the key weapons in his arsenal was the leg kick.
In brief, they were vicious. When Aldo’s shin connected with your leg, fighters would barely be able to stand. Aldo’s first introduction to martial arts was Capoeira as a youngster, therefore it should be no surprise that his kicks are so good.
