Stumble This
I heard that after this match, he got the nickname, "The Giant Killer."
In fact, if you watch the end, Hackney won the fight by TKO (ref stoppage), it wasn't stopped because he broke his hand. The hand injury only stopped Hackney from continuing on in the tournament.
Ah, for the early days of the UFC, when fighters sucked and nobody knew better...
The little guy is like a slippery, nimble eel compared to Emmanuel.
And yea, I knew the ref stopped the round. You can't even tell Keith broke his hand.
Not all the fighters sucked back then though, but yeah, most of them.
The other part of it was the way he swung for his punches. Ground and pound, although it looks like just swinging to most people, is a specialized way of striking. Notice how Hackney is swinging his arm out far, haymaker-style? It should be cocked for a hook or gorilla-style reverse hammerfist rather than that arm-extended thing he was doing, and he should be dropping his shoulder and hips into each punch. I couldn't find any videos of GnP from side ride like in this fight, but check out this seminar with Fedor. Notice how he rears back, pops his shoulder and hip on the punching side up, then drops it as he punches? That movement makes up with body momentum what the shoulder whirl, hip twist, and leg drive do when doing standup striking. There's an analogous movement in striking from side ride, and although it's a skill most people don't notice, it makes all the difference in a fight.
Just goes to show how far MMA has come since these early brawls.
And yeah, I guess you could say I'm into MMA.
