Uriah Hall, a MMA fighter that you might be familiar with, has been a standout during the current season of The Ultimate Fighter, not only holding his own, but outright knocking out two famous fighters in convincing fashion. Talking about his success, Hall mentions that he learned fighting by playing loads of Tekken and trying to copy the moves from the game.
“I walked in and they were impressed with my kicks and the way I would just pick up stuff and they were like, ‘where did you train?’” Hall says, in a interview with Fightland, Vice's new MMA section. “I said, ‘I never trained before’. I was embarrassed to say that I played Tekken all day, copied the moves and that’s how I learned. I would play that video game so much. I’d go into practice mode and have the characters… the computer spar me back and forth like regular training. I’d just keep playing until I see something… visually it was almost as if my body just adjusted to it so when it came time to spar moves that I would see would come back like that!"
Hit the jump to hear more about what Hall himself has to say about how Tekken influenced his fighting.
