“Years ago we hardly had anything to eat. Now I earn more money and I see every opponent as a man that tries to put me back to that poorer period. That man has to be eliminated.” 

~Fedor Emelianenko

UFC 160 - Junior Dos Santos X Mark Hunt - Round 3 animated GIF's

Continuing from my previous post, here are some animated GIF's I made of selected highlights from Round 3 of the Junior Dos Santos vs Mark Hunt, in a Heavyweight matchup from UFC 160 that took place in Las Vegas last Saturday, May 25, 2013.

The beginning of the end for Mark Hunt

Here is the Knockout in realtime.

 

 2 different angles of the KO in slowmo.

With about a minute left in Round 3, the final round, this kick came as a surprise as JDS was probably going to win an Unamious Decision. He may have been making a statement, going for the finish instead of coasting to the final bell.

Mark Hunt tries to stand up after the KO... he has rubbery legs and is wobbly.

 

Props to both Mark Hunt and Junior Dos Santos - they are warriors! Congratulations to Junior Dos Santos. Looking forward to Cain Velasquez taking on JDS again.

Hope you enjoyed the animated GIF's as much as I enjoyed making them!

UFC 160 - Junior Dos Santos X Mark Hunt - Rounds 1-2 animated GIF's

This past Saturday, May 25, 2013, UFC 160 saw Junior Dos Santos facing Mark Hunt. Here are some animated GIF's I made of selected highlights.

Round 1 - Slowmo of Mark Hunt's Left Hook

Round 1 - Slowmo of Junior Dos Santos' Overhand Right

Round 1 - Another angle of the slowmo of Junior Dos Santos' Overhand Right 

Round 1 probably went to JDS.

Round 2 - Slowmo of Junior Dos Santos' Overhand Right followed up with Quick Stiff Jab

I applaud JDS's quick jab! Too many UFC fighters seem to throw a strike and then immediatedly go to Reset. I first noticed this regularly when I watched Matt Hughes fight. It annoyed me since then as I couldn't 'unsee' it.

As Mark Hunt was about to Reset, JDS shows his speed and sticks a "1". It's a fight, never give your opponent time. I believe the great Joe Lewis called this something to the effect of attacking your opponent's Set Point. As your opponent is about to get set, attack!

Round 2 - Mark Hunt's offensive

Round 2 - Junior Dos Santos' Single Leg Takedown which probably sealed this round for him

Selected highlights from Round 3 in my next post.
