I got so many comments on the short video of my knockout from #ufc257 that I decided to give you a little breakdown during my workout. - Hooker was the longer opponent therefore he would be able to control the distance. - We knew he would try to keep us at bay by evading and attacking with leg kicks. - When you are fighting a taller fighter, remember, the body will always be there when the head is not so start with the body and it will start opening up the head as you gauge distance. - In my case, it worked out even better that Hooker would always be worried about the takedown, even if he wouldn’t admit it before the fight. - This particular stance change/shift was something henrihooft and I have been working on for a while. - Nothing fancy or spectacular, but it sure is dangerous. - Keep improving. - See you at the top! - #ufc #mma #knockout #mmaknockout #ufcknockout #hkickboxing #ironmichael #ufc259
