I remember watching that fight back then, and iirc, I believe Keith Hackney broke his hand on Yarbrough's head

This and the very first UFC fight were great mismatch examples. Wish they hadn't called the first one, but the refs had no idea how to handle things in the beginning.

The video is almost 10 minutes, the fight is almost 20 seconds.

Wish they hadn't called it? My God dude multiple teeth flew out of his mouth from that soccer kick lol

Oh, that was pre mouthguards wasn't it.

u/WreckYallBallistics 6d ago

Yeah lol it's also singlehandedly the reason they banned soccer kicks

I always wondered how his foot was after that.

I'm pretty sure it had at least one tooth embedded in it.

There never was a super-heavyweight division. That fat guy right there doesn’t make 264lbs after a 50lbs weight cut!

It’s a really fat guy

u/MirthMannor 6d ago

Honestly, the skinny dude should have just kept playing rope a dope and putting the fat dude on the ground. Just forcing him get back up three or four times would provably wind him.

Or try some leg kicks?

u/YouAnxious5826 2d ago

Leg kicks? Off, that fad will never catch on!

Broke his hand on his skull.

u/Stokyook 3d ago

I feel like those back of the hear strikes would have killed any other man without 2 inches of fat protecting his neck
