Most Underutilized Weapon in MMA

I would have to say that would be the uppercut.

Save Arlovski vs. Vlady, I think the most effective usage of the uppercut that I have seen is Matt Hamill vs. Jesse Forbes

Matt didn't hit many extremely hard uppercuts, but he peppered him and really hurt him. I like the way that he would clinch him and use his dirty boxing, it was very impressive.

They are hard to throw as the distance you need to get one off has to be timed out perfectly. But yes they are under utilized. I prefer num chucks myself.

The uppercut is Mirko's knockout punch too.

I'll say body stomps/soccer kicks/elbows.

Leg kicks.period. But for those of us who train, we realize how bad your leg hurts the next day after getting a few blocked with no protection.
