@Oodles of Noodles head kick ko Hook ko Over hand ko Wheel kick ko Knee ko Liver kick tko Body strike tko Ground and pound tko He's basically won in every striking capability you can, maybe an elbow ko is the only thing left on his resume to go, what other striker can go through this checklist ? One of the best of all time for sure.
With them following another similar platform, ONEFC of Asia..I think this is going to help a bunch. Especially with giving the fighters opportunities like this. Doesn’t always have to be a champ. Edson is a bad ass!
The fight vs hooker was a masterpiece, also against tony ferguson he performed very well and his speed was crazy but prime tony was a chaotic terminator
Balboza got lucky mate wasn't much of a win really just a kick I wouldn't give praise for a kick I would fight balboza my self but he feather weight lol
This guy is just straight up powerrrrrrrrrrrr. But giga chikadze defines what accurate strikes are. Hope Barboza wins to stop the hype. Don't let the ufc feed you to the new blood
@@victora.9349 Man, I'm a huge Barboza fan, but that's probably his worst possible matchup outside of Khabib... Holloway is a matter of pressure and Edson has a severe allergic reaction to pressure
@@martinstoyanov5180 ok khasual, burgos is a weight class below his former weight where he lost to gathje, ferguson and khabib who just pressured him imo
Edson must know something the other fighters don’t if he says the “low leg kick is easy to defend” because we haven’t seen a lot of strategies recently to defend it effectively. That’s a scary quote from him, legend 💯.
Don't know about easy to defend part but getting shin checked should be extremely painful. There is video of gaethje teaching a guy how to defend calf kicks. If someone checks it like that perfectly, that would be the end of your kicking game.
@@blacklake10 ya that’s exactly what im saying people don’t have his expertise background in those scenarios w the expectation of a few fighter, like Jose as you mentioned. Cheers mate 👍🏻
This is an incredibly, incredible great video. Valuable insights into different martial arts techniques. Well said, mr barboza, never knew you were this awesome. I’m offficially a fan.
Dudes switch kicks are perfection to its finest but... damn the timing, speed and precision on those spinning heel kicks is just something out of this world.
6:45 "This kick cannot be duplicate" thats why it changes his life, the set up barboza did to make that happen kinda obvious but not readable, Legend!🔥🔥🔥
Besides him always being in great shape for these fast twitch moves theres just something about his style combining Muay Thai and Taekwondo that's so entertaining.
One of my all time top fighters, always fought the best and put on a crazy display in each performance. Really hope he’s champion before he calls it a day, very few deserve it more than Edson!
Edson is one of the living embodiments of Bruce Lee, in my opinion. His striking is truly beautiful and him explaining his techniques and strategy is equally so.
We took our son and his friend to a UFC fight night, at BB&T in South Florida…2017 or 18 maybe….you didn’t fight that night but Edson - you were there. My son saw you walking by, said your name- you turned and I took a picture of you with him. He has never forgotten that moment as it was spontaneous and unexpected. Earlier and outside, he’d met Jorge and Dustin….that was all we thought would happen that night. Thank You.❤️
this man not just fights, He READS his opponents perfectly and thats why he is certain that his kicks are surefire finishers. This guy just knows WHEN to kick and he trained to be lightning fast. kick at the right time and kick at insane speeds are these two factors that turn him into a literal UFC assassin.
Barboza is one of those guys who will be appreciated much more when he retires. In terms of pure striking technique, he's among the highest caliber. He's overlooked because he's in the toughest division in the most competitive organization.
Edson's shin bones are probably as dense as metal at this point. I've taken leg kicks in MT practice but, I can't even imagine what taking a Barboza kick feels like.
One of the greatest strikers to ever step in an octagon, no doubt. Dude is different.
Edson vs Hooker was probably the worst beating I've ever seen inside the cage. I've watched every card since 2014.
I wished he pursued kickboxing instead of MMA. He would’ve been a great addition to Glory.
@Oodles of Noodles def one of the top kickboxers for sure though
@Oodles of Noodles
head kick ko
Hook ko
Over hand ko
Wheel kick ko
Knee ko
Liver kick tko
Body strike tko
Ground and pound tko
He's basically won in every striking capability you can, maybe an elbow ko is the only thing left on his resume to go, what other striker can go through this checklist ? One of the best of all time for sure.
Wait until giga takes him by tko
It’s good to see Barboza getting the recognition he deserves
itd be crazy not to
When people say that the UFC is top tier, Edson is one of the reasons why.

This comment should be top
Absolutely!
Edson barboza is my pick for the best kickboxer in the ufc.
@@MC.32517 Muay Thai*
Kickboxing = Wonderboy and Adesanya
So humble , yet one of the most feared strikers in UFC history
The fight against Dan Hooker was the most vicious body work I've ever seen in the UFC...
ua-cam.com/video/SXOqUGSlgdE/v-deo.html
It was fucking brutal man, almost uncomfortable to watch. Hooker is a tough as fuck, he must have been pissing blood the next day
@@riseofazrael Absolutely! 😲💥😂
#FACTSMATTER
@@riseofazrael that fight and the second benavidez figgy fight. two fights that are so violent and one sided it’s kinda disturbing
That was the fight that turned me from a casual into an every-card fanatic. Always gonna be a huge Barboza fan :)
Man…the UFC is *DOMINATING* with their uploads lately, this is awesome 😎🔥⚡️💥
ua-cam.com/video/SXOqUGSlgdE/v-deo.html

@@adriantrejo8397 Pretty much lol
Yeah, great idea by them.
With them following another similar platform, ONEFC of Asia..I think this is going to help a bunch. Especially with giving the fighters opportunities like this. Doesn’t always have to be a champ. Edson is a bad ass!
Definitely one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC hands down!

Indeed
EXACTLY ! incredible !!!!
The fight vs hooker was a masterpiece, also against tony ferguson he performed very well and his speed was crazy but prime tony was a chaotic terminator
I got barboza this Saturday… he’s just a wily veteran he’ll figure out the puzzle
The thing is, there is no puzzle just a overhype job

@@marcos0055101 Literally every mma prospect is overhyped to you people
@@FR-uf1kg dude never faced somebody legit
Cub is a bum
@UCuoBsHTDWHZZKnbMlEa7Llg Cowboy was in his prime
At that time he would've murder Giga
Popular Opinion: Every single one of y'all agrees Humble Barboza made our Day much better:
🙏🏽☝🏽💯
Best kicker in MMA history! Without question!
"if you've seen my background it works very well" 😂 what a legend
The internet will never let Etim get over that loss damn
Etim is hard mate don't fuck with etim balboza or what ever his name is got lucky if etim carried game over balboza
"I saw him fell like a tree and I knew the fight was over" Barboza is a savage 🤣 😂
Balboza got lucky mate wasn't much of a win really just a kick I wouldn't give praise for a kick I would fight balboza my self but he feather weight lol
"Calf kicks are so easy to defend"
Conor McGregor left the chat
They're so easy to defend...... But just for muay thai fighters lol.
Even my granny can defend those kicks
@@rthasnfamu9131 I'v noticed almost every ufc fighter with a kickboxing or MT background rarely throw calf kicks.
Conor puts like 70-90 procent of his weight on the front foot so he can't lift it in time to check
Whoot the fook is thoit koick !!!
Barboza is an amazing striker and martial artist. Beast!
This guy is just straight up powerrrrrrrrrrrr. But giga chikadze defines what accurate strikes are. Hope Barboza wins to stop the hype. Don't let the ufc feed you to the new blood
Barboza vs Holloway is a guaranteed fight of the night, i hope barboza wins and can get to that point
@@victora.9349 Man, I'm a huge Barboza fan, but that's probably his worst possible matchup outside of Khabib... Holloway is a matter of pressure and Edson has a severe allergic reaction to pressure
In terms of striking, his style is about as close to perfect as you can get
unless you pressure him
It's so beautiful! And fan-friendly. If it were really *perfect* he'd be undefeated, but that's MMA lol.
@@hayate503 unless you pressure him with wrestling he smeshed Burgos who was pressuring the whole fight
@@martinstoyanov5180 ok khasual, burgos is a weight class below his former weight where he lost to gathje, ferguson and khabib who just pressured him imo
@@hayate503 you lost the moment you used the word casual like why the fuck would used against a different opinnion ??
Giga Chikadze is no joke though. Barboza has a tough challenge saturday. I can see both of them winning tbh.
I got giga by tko 2nd round
Hope it's gonna be a good fight
Giga is a overhype job who didn't face anybody significant to be consider a threat
@Theodor Capitani von Kurnatowski They always give up coming prey for Barboza
Any of them gonna get their liver blow up
Love watching Edson fight always entertaining and a good dude. Hope he wins this one and goes for the title for his Pop's.

It’s way easier to check a calf kicks, to check upper leg kicks you to be faster and raise your leg more
This is an incredibly, incredible great video.
Valuable insights into different martial arts techniques.
Well said, mr barboza, never knew you were this awesome. I’m offficially a fan.
How could you never know he was this awesome?
Dudes switch kicks are perfection to its finest but... damn the timing, speed and precision on those spinning heel kicks is just something out of this world.
"Always connect w/ the Shin."

I love this upload. Barboza, one of the most consistent and truly professional fighters in MMA. Hope that we can see him go on a real title run!
One of my all time top fighters, always fought the best and put on a crazy display in each performance. Really hope he’s champion before he calls it a day, very few deserve it more than Edson!
This was great! Go Edson!
What a wonderful video, Edson explaining it makes it so much better. Hope they continue to make more stuff with him
3:15 really honored to hear this as a fellow martial artist!
Barboza has the best highlight wheel, and there is no way you can change my mind
Wonderboy's side kick,Cro cop's headkick and barboza's wheel kick are like reserved stuffs nobody takes it away from them. s
Damn he even feints with his eyes👀
Imagine if Edson hit Kabib with the spinning heel kick as clean as he did Etim... that would had been crazy!
True Legend
Makes it look so easy
Best kicker in mma
Freaking love Barboza.
Edson Barboza is a really good teacher
Edson is one of the living embodiments of Bruce Lee, in my opinion. His striking is truly beautiful and him explaining his techniques and strategy is equally so.
Barboza is one of the most entertaining fighters to watch
Up there with the Ngannou types as far as fan-friendly styles go :)
Yes his kicks are such a beautiful technique
One of my favorite fighters ever!!
I’ve been in love with Edsons approach to dismantling his opponent
2:30 Ross Pearson definitely knows how to defend a calf kick! 👍🏾
Barboza legs are made of steel. The dude just slams the shin so hard
We took our son and his friend to a UFC fight night, at BB&T in South Florida…2017 or 18 maybe….you didn’t fight that night but Edson - you were there.

Barboza: Humble as F
Don rickles: Where's the H?
I love this guy so much hope he gets what he deserves
My favorite fighter on the roster, bar none! So sad we’re probably in the back 3rd of his career, but I’ll enjoy every single second we get!
damn looking at the breakdown his striking looks very sophisticated, everything thrown with a reason and setup
this man not just fights, He READS his opponents perfectly and thats why he is certain that his kicks are surefire finishers. This guy just knows WHEN to kick and he trained to be lightning fast. kick at the right time and kick at insane speeds are these two factors that turn him into a literal UFC assassin.
One of my fav strikers of all time. Hook kicks switch and Low kicks.
Despite his incredible kicks this guy has the most shredded and great looking physique in UFC
I don't agree. Romero had the best looking physique. The guy's a superhuman lmao
Absolute monster. 🔥
EB is a god damn legend, he has provided us with some of the most entertaining fights.
Nicest and dangerous guy.. always luv to watch him
Damn! His leg kicks are so loud that he nearly amputate his opponent’s leg👀🔥💯
Great video UFC. love to see more technique videos.
6:18 The soul go for a walk, but be cool, it will be back in a couple of minutes...
I always thought he must have a partial TKD background for how quick and snappy his style was
Thank you UFC and Barboza!!
I love this game!
His Ko's over dariush and burgos were insane 🔥
I watched the ppv live and was legit scared that Burgos had blown an aneurysm with just how delayed the knock out was.
Barboza is such a beast 🤙
Always loved Edson barboza
Been watching MMA for 27 years. Edson's KO highlight reel is one of the best I've seen. Salute
One of my top 5 favourites in the ufc. Beautiful to watch Edson.
This is amazing. Thank you UFC. I've been waiting for this dynamic striker to teach us his moves.
Says he has the most creative striking
Lists all the crazy striking finishes he has
cant argue with that
How can you not be intrested in a Barboza signature series ! Man those kicks hurt just by watching
This guy is soo underrated, fascinating
He is easily my most fav fighter to follow. Such an amazing fighter to watch n a great guy outside the cage.
Barboza is always fun to watch
he’s so good at what he does
One of my favorite fighters
Edson is consistently finishin dudes just from solid shots , never seen anyone else hurt so many bodies. Respecttt
Barboza is one of those guys who will be appreciated much more when he retires. In terms of pure striking technique, he's among the highest caliber. He's overlooked because he's in the toughest division in the most competitive organization.
This was awesome
His shutout performance against Pettis is so underrated. He boxed him the fuck up
O melhor chutador do UFC!
I like these little segments by the fighters.
Super humble guy with one of the best kicks in UFC
Edson Barboza and Yair Rodriguez have the most technical and powerfull kicks in MMA history.
Perfect video omg you guys are killing it these days!
Barboza is the guy who I enjoy watching the most
Barboza is a Legend
This is an axcelent video, i learned a lot watching this. Thank you UFC, that's one of the best contents you guys could share.
love this guy
The guy who’s motivated me to sharpen my switch kick. 👊
the audio's not in time with the video
Always looking forward to a Barboza from fight
Edson is great for watching!
I see Barbozas boxing coming in clutch
Rogan: The calf kick has changed MMA.
Edson: bruh that shit easy
Gotta love Barboza
“You don’t need that much power” he says with arguably the hardest kicks in MMA 😂
Edson's shin bones are probably as dense as metal at this point.
I've taken leg kicks in MT practice but, I can't even imagine what taking a Barboza kick feels like.
Barboza is always fun
Happy to see Edson getting the spotlight 👏
What a legend
Amazing video, thanks Edson
Mad Respect for Edson dude has some sick skills!!
thank u Edson Barboza
Fan since day ONE! ☝️
