If the kick lands onto the opponent's face, is it illegal? đŸ¤” Would be an awesome kick either way.

I thought the same, perhaps that's why he chose this. Excessive force might get you disqualified or something.

AFAIK you cant kick an opponent in the head when they're on the ground. Otherwise it's legal.

That’s correct. Pretty sure that’s why he landed on his knees cuz that counts as being on the ground.

Now if the guy head kicked him before he landed

Unless its ONE FC

They allow kicks knees and stomps to downed opponents

Most mma orgs dont allow it if a knee is touching or sometimes the hands

This isn't UFC. Head kicks on downed opponents is legal in many orgs.
