I've always been so confused about the physical mechanics of a Russian Hook. It just feels awkward to try to swing that way. But it gets results. Fedor and Igor are examples. But broken hands seem to be par for the course as well.

I've never been comfortable with hook mechanics that don't end up with the impact being parallell to your forearm bones. The more sideways impact you take to your hand the greater the chances of breaking your bones is.

Basically you want the force to be head on with your two biggest knuckles regardless if it's a straight punch or a hook.

At least that's what I've always felt was best.

But I'm not a decade-long-unbeaten-streak Russian MMA god either so ...

Gonna be exciting to watch him throw those punches against high level fighters such as.......uh..........gonna be exciting though!

awful technique

effective striking

the only other person who mixed up striking-grappling in fluid combos as well is Dominick Cruz, and he's 100 pounds lighter.









Yea, and GSP obviously. But the 100 pounds lighter thing sounds cooler.

This whole ''russian hook'' thing is retarded. They don't purposely throw like that.

You're very ignorant.

Especially about striking.

Who not just say: Sloppy wild punches that works because they where used by agressive badass fighters.

Very Sloppy.

Im glad you see it too. Lots of fedor fans around here pretend he was the best at everything

 

[The Bard]

ITT: non-fighters and fighters nobody has heard of criticize the striking of a guy who has outstruck kickboxing champions.

 

[Frode Falch]

Fedor was the greatest HW MMA fighter of all time. But not because of his technical striking.

 

[Cooliox]

120 pounds lighter and also up there

no, not even close. that was telegraphed, just a case of overpowering (his opponent just missed a counter uppercut)
there are a bunch of guys in mma who do that.

this is what one-motion looks like... no time to react

 

[Frode Falch]

Brazillian hook and overhand right?

 

[faustian]

awful striking

Outstruck:

Cro Cop
Wanderlei
Hunt
Arlovski
Sylvia
Goodridge

Yup, awful striking

 

[Frode Falch]

Awful striking is not the correct term. But neither are technical striking. there are so many factor that made Fedor the great fighter.

His speed, agression, power, cardio, and fight IQ made him the beast he was in Pride.

Arlovski did outstrike him before doing the most retarded choice ever when he did that wild flying knee. Then Fedors power and timing won him the fight by a nice haymaker.

Wanderlei? when did he fight him? And did he not submitt Hunt?

IMO his fight against Cro Cop was his best striking ever. That was a amazing fight.

He probably was the best ever at instantly closing long distance and knocking the shit off people's blocks. Might look unkempt, but he wasn't throwing to win a decision. And besides... if you actually watch, his technique is robotic. Consistency =/= sloppy. It's just unorthodox.
