How does Holland generate so much power from the bottom?

I've never seen someone generate so much power from the bottom. It wasn't the elbows you've seen Anderson, Sotiropoulos, etc. use either that generate power from the bone. He was swinging his hands and getting real power into a punches. He was beating Jacare like Fedor on top of Big Nog. How did he do this?
 
He was able to get full swings from his position. Watch the finish, he was able to extend and load up on each shot and put his body into each one.

You’re acting like he was lying in his back lol

I've never seen anyone do that. How does he get full swings and why can't other guys do it? He has incredibly long arms, they look even longer than Jones' -- does that have something to do with it?

Jacare backed off sloppy and grabbed his leg to get a better position, whatever he was doing it was dumb and let himself wide open.

Holkand put his whole body and momentum into the shots
 
The weight of his leg allowed him to get a little weight behind the punch
 
Jacare gave him way too much space which is surprising given his bjj petigree. Holland's long arms got full swings

Went to a split decision vs Jan in his last bout.
Good point, He didn't look like he got hit that hard before being wobbly against Holland and I believe Brunson put him out easily.
 
Long arms, and he was able to get that whip on the punch when he swung his leg. Almost like a superman punch while sitting on your ass, but with a hook. The leg swing gave him the torque he needed. Then the one after that started all the way behind his back. Jacare was hurt and that allowed Holland to load up. You'd be surprised by how hard you can punch someone from that position. The finish had more to do with Jacare making massive errors than anything.
 
He has really long arms. Dudes with arms like that have more leverage, can hit harder and generate force in tough positions
 
It was hilarious especially at the start when Jacare took him down and Holland did like a flop nearly freeing himself.

I don't think he got lazy. I just think he thought he was safe. Nobody expects fight ending punches from that position.

Credit to Holland. Kid looks good, real good.
 
Don’t listen so closely to Joe and Daniel, the KO will seem less extraordinary.
