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.

  1. 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 .

  2. 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

  3. 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…

  4. 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
