Name: Keith "The Giant Killer" Hackney Fighting Style: White Tiger Kenpo Karate fight record: 2-2-0 Active: 1994 - 1995 size : 180 cm weight: 91 kg birth: 1960 Place of birth : Roselle, Illinois, USA key moments: - UFC 3: TKO victory over Emmanuel Yarborough in 2 minutes. His opponent was a 272-pound black sumo wrestler. Hackney broke his hand in the fight (at that time without gloves) and had to cancel the tournament. The victory earned him the nickname "The Giant Killer" field. - UFC 4: Rape Choke (one-handed grip to the neck) victory against Joe Son's legendary in the fight were the half dozen, then perfectly legal, deliberate punches at Joe Sons crown jewels. Bio: Keith began Martial Arts 1974 at the age of 14, with wrestling and boxing. Two years later he began Taek-Won-Do, reaching there the "Nidan" So the 2nd Dan (compared to a normal black belt is the 1st Dan or "shodan"). Since 1988, he trained to still Tang So Do, in which he is also the second Dan gained. In 1994 he started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to train. In 2001 he received the "sandan", ie third Dan in Kenpo Karate. addition to his active career, Keith runs a martial school since 1999 in which he teaches a wide range from all Martial Arts, he has learned. spectacle instead of sport: Hackney fight against the Sumo Yarborough Rating: 5 / 10 His legendary status is based no doubt on a questionable foundation. Obese Sumos und Tiefschläge machten ihn zu einer unsterblichen Figur der MMA-Geschichte. Seine größte Errungenschaft geht dabei unter: Er war der erste Kämpfer, der Royce Gracie Paroli bieten konnte. Keith zeigte zum ersten Mal, wie man einen takedown abwehrt. Zu seiner sympathischen Art kommt noch eine ungewöhnliche Offenheit gegenüber anderen Martial Arts. Seine MMA-Karriere war kurz, aber er hat einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen.
