In many fights, the uppercut can strongly cause a knockout. It strikes the chin of the fighter that may pass him out for a while. In addition, many famous fighters like Silva, Santos, and Brock Lesnar use uppercuts and won final matches, becoming worldwide champions!
Brad Picket’s Uppercut
However, beginners perceive it as an inefficient move, because they may not perform it perfectly, which can cause severe injuries. It should strike straightly the chin of the fighter and not at any point in the lower region of the face(example: neck). Therefore, you can’t just predict that you’ll ace it the minute you learn how it goes. It requires practices over time to assure that it’s done the way that it should be.
It can be executed many times during the match, but when using it, the fighter should protect his face by keeping his other hands up to avoid any unpredictable reverse strike from the opponent.
