I can see in cases like that where it's super effective, and I can see why it would be tricky. But from what I understand the actual practical techniques are quite limited. Although I do think that that kinda style would be perfectly suited for someone like an Imanari, who's just that wild risk taker, that even if they fly and miss a kick they're not worried because their grappling game is just THAT sick.

What does smh mean, so much hate? And yeah, I've been saying that for a while too. I'm sick of boxing fans also saying MMA is a fad, as if anything that lasts 20 years like the UFC can be considered a fad, or Pancrase or Shooto, which came before the UFC and all the other NHB and Vale Tudo competitions decades before then, which disproves that theory as well.

Yeah I'm surprised Anderson Silva hasn't used it in a fight yet. He has trained in it and likes to try different techniques. I believe he got the first front kick to the face knockout in MMA. He's also the only guy I've ever seen who could reverse on an opponent from the bottom with a body triangle.

Only works well against people not accustomed to Capoeira. If they are, moves can be fairly predictable and very vulnerable to simple counters. Its a showy martial art, not particularly effective in this venue.

I'd rather fight kimbo on the street than a real capoeira master.

A waste of energy moving around, better to utilize the main movements/moves that are beneficial. Maybe a few can use the pure style, but not really. Like Muhammad Ali danced all the time, but it's not practical; be like Leonard who copies the main movements without using as much energy.
