Uh, Ilia, there’s this statistic, you have never thrown a kick to the body or the head in the UFC. Yeah. And honestly, just why? A lot of people have success with it. What is it you don’t like about throwing that move? Uh, the kicks never was a quality that I never had as a fighter. So, I don’t know. I never like like the the body kicks and the head kicks. I mean, it’s obviously worked very well for you in your career.

I do not understand why it has become fashion and usual that journalists ask about strategies , plans , etc and fighters reveal , easily, their secrets , strategies , ways….instead of just saying , : Well , that could be but I just don't speak about that .
Asking that question says so much about the person asking.
J.herbart almost knocked him out.
Someone tell this micro man a string from his g..shirt is on his little head
If he doesn't throw, it will be harder to defend. He might get knock down with a kick to the head or body
He's smart enough not to explain his strategy
Makhavhrv would show him a good Volk header 😂
Must be joking he hasnt even teep / front kicked anyone?
He’s short. His legs don’t go above the average man’s waist.
Really i was thinking about this and this video came into my feed
What a question absolutely amateurs! His never needed too that’s why! Muhammad Ali didn’t ever throw a punch to the body! Because he didn’t need to or want too
Boxings the most important standup
you mess up a kick its over
He's a small dude, punching up into someone's chin is a much shorter distance than kicking it and missing a kick opens you up against a taller opponent…
Because he’s friggin short lol
Somewhat random, unrelated but Dustin Poirier is similar in that he mainly only throws low kicks. He has occasionally thrown a body kick, a kick to the head. Also he either has, or had a bad hip. Dustin is also similar to Ilia being a boxing style fighter. They’re both well rounded as well
that simple answer the answer is coz im short guy 😂
his response should hve been "I have these hands"
That’s because you’re not an all-around fighter
just say i have bombs in my hand, why should i kick?
Riveting
His legs are to short he's all arms
Hes never needed it
He have no mobility enought.
It will never reach to head he knows
He doesn't have to
Why change when you are already dominant. Consider it later on if he loses.
