If the kick lands onto the opponent's face, is it illegal? 🤔 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.

Excessive force? I don't think that rules applies here. I mean, they're in MMA fight, where both of them try to knock out one another, so I don't see how a kick to the face (that could potentially results in a KO) would be consider excessive. Not only that, how would you determine which attack is excessive though?

Not arguing against you, I just don't understand your point.
