UFC III Fight Card:
Emmanuel Yarborough (Sumo) Vs. Keith Hackney (Kempo Karate)
Ken Shamrock (Shoot Fighting) Vs. Christopher Leininger (Judo)
Harold Howard (Ju Jitsu) Vs. Ronald Paine (Maui Tai)
Royce Grace (Ju Jitsu) Vs. Kimo (Tai Kwon Do)
More varied styles, but an overall higher standard of competitor than UFC II. Royce again looks very good in UFC III and has one of his toughest fights, against Kimo, who certainly doesn't represent Tai Kwon Do, as there are NO flicky high Kicks !! [Nothing against Tai Kwon Do Honest! ;)].
Harold Howard fights well and has a good fight with Roland Paine, but unfortunately the end of the fight is cut... Why ??? (shown in a later UFC)
Ken Shamrock has a great fight against Leninger, but then puts on a poor show against his much less capable second opponent.
Keith Hackney T-s off with the biggest Professional athlete of that time, Emmanuel Yarborough (600lbs). Great fight. Interesting to see how effective low point sidekicks are to a bigger guy. But AGAIN the end of this fight is cut as Hackney rains down punch after punch to the face of the large Sumo Wrestler. Again.. Why ??
Sorry to say that the poorly educated (in the Martial Arts) Jim Brown is still on the commentary team, offering his really useful comments [sigh :-( ].
Great Final, with some excellent reversals.
In summary, a good video, but if you want see more technique then try a later UFC.
