Being fascinated by the Brazilian fighter’s legacy in kickboxing, Rogan said, “One of the best examples of this ever is the great kickboxer @glaubefeitosa. Feitosa is THE master of the question mark kick. The efficiency and fluidity of his execution of this technique is unparalleled in the sport. He would literally go over the guard of his opponents and down on the head or neck with spectacular results. For a lot of people – me included, he changed what people thought was possible with this move.”
