The 'calf kick' is not a recent move, but in recent months it has attracted more and more attention at MMA events. After attracting attention with Dustin poirier against Conor McGregor e Peter Munhoz about Jimmie rivera (both for UFC, in 2020), Randall Ray went further, at Urban Fight Night 24, held in Sydney. At the Australian event, held last Saturday (27), the fighter had a strong image when he broke Dean Maxwell's ankle and achieved a frightening knockout.

In the images (see below), it is possible to observe the moment when Ray hits Maxwell with a sharp kick to the right calf. Dean tries to defend the attack, but doesn't realize that, when he suffers the attack, his ankle is broken.

After the action, Randall's opponent immediately collapses. Observing the seriousness of the episode, the referee immediately interrupted the confrontation so that he could be attended to by the organization's doctors.

The trend is for calf kicks to be seen more and more in fighting arenas. The attack, when connected precisely, undermines the opponent's base. Over time, the fighter who suffers the action begins to have difficulty moving and can become easy prey for new attacks.
