I don't have a dog in this fight. You're right LeeRoy a skilled fighter can counter another skilled fighter. But for what it's worth, usually you check a low kick with a kick. A kick to the thigh/hip area you try and block/catch with a single hand because you still have a hand free and can easily control your opponent if you get the foot. Sweep or a step in and solid punch/kick, or hell even a take down can be accomplished from here. But I never use both hands and leave myself without any way to retaliate.
For instance LeeRoy you could have written-
Seeing the man take his stance, closing the distance, Kanitah spread his feet apart slightly. Rising on to the balls of his feet, the smaller man turned his body slightly towards the approaching Fury. When the larger man launched his knee strike, Kanitah, being an accomplished fighter met the kick with a cross knee check, lifting the left knee presenting the harder point to meet Fury’s foot.
Or you could have done-
Seeing the man take his stance, closing the distance, Kanitah spread his feet apart slightly. Rising on the balls of his feet, the smaller man turned his body slightly towards the approaching Fury. When the larger man launched his knee strike, Kanitah, being an accomplished fighter merely shifted his stance, sliding his left leg back along the grass/rock ground. The simple move left naught but air for Fury’s attempted strike. Having switched his stance, with the right hand and leg now forward, Kanitah launched his own strike at the man known as Fury. The lead jab/thrust kick was aimed for the exposed hip of the balancing foot. Of course Fury might block, or even catch the foot, but Kanitah was not with his own tricks if that happened.
