I remember watching a UFC championmship years ago where an unknown fighter took down a feared and top-level UFC fighter using kicks just like this. Each leg-strike is agonizing to the opponent, and you can only stand so much before you collapse. If you're in a street fight, you do what you gotta do to survive, and fuck the naysayers who say it's not honorable. My ex-brother-in-law who survived 2 tours of duty in Vietnam taught me this.

It's a good technique against someone who's untrained, but it's not something that can't be defended. All the guy needed to do was check the kick or properly time moving his lead leg back. Watch the video again and you can see the guy throwing the leg kicks dropped his hands each time. A skilled fighter would've thrown a straight punch as soon as the other kind dropped his hands to wind up for another leg kick and KO'd him.

That guy cut him down at the knees. Too bad he didn't know how to defend against those, because otherwise the kicker would have stopped on the first one.

Although you are correct in that he indeed does drop his hands each time,he's leaning back so far to get leverage on his kicks that he's well out of punching range from the other guy.
The smarter and maybe only defense is to check the kicks that you know 100 % are coming and go from there
