No it appears you are a bit confused....
1. My hobby is to call out bullshitters who make it a point to lay it on thick and heavy in the hopes no one will notice.
2. The UFC does permit sidekicks, front kicks, stomp kicks, any-kind-o' kicks to the leg, as a matter of fact there is no restriction on kicking/stomping to the legs/knees/feet at all.
The Nevada state athletic commision, a.k.a. people who wrote the rules, list 31 strikes which are considered fouls, non of which involve striking to the leg, knee or otherwise.
Rules and Regulations - Unified Rules and Other MMA Regulations
Off the top of my head I can think of two high profile fights that leg kicks were used in.
Anderson Silva kicked Thales Leites with side kicks to the knee in his title defense, although Thales did some nice kicking of his own.

Brandon Vera struck Keith Jardine with a direct kick to the knee.....
YouTube - Brandon Vera Highlights

It didn't cripple him hell it didn't even stop him from winning the fight the fight he said the injury was minor......

And as a final footnote Joyce Gracie was using stomp kicks as an entry to wrap people up in the very first UFC...
Well so much for the whole "My styles leg kicking techniques are so deadly they don't even allow them in the UFC !!!!!" bullshit.
Tune in next time kids when I will explain why low round kicks are more effective and safer to use for you...
AND your victim!
