It's a high risk, high reward factor. Many times I don't see a lot of MMA fighters employing kicks unless they are 100% sure that they will connect. And many times, that rare chance is never available.
When you kick, and you miss, you leave your entire body vulnerable, not to mention the fact that you are off balance. That's why those that do kick, do "suicide" kicks in which they land on the ground, flat, on their bodies, as to not leave themselves open if they miss.
