Hadouken! MMA fighter summons inner Ryu from Street Fighter mid-fight

It worked a treat as Shane Campbell got his win over Derek Boyle.

CANADIAN MIXED MARTIAL arts fighter Shane Campbell must have been big into computer games growing up.

The 27-year-old lightweight faced Derek Boyle at the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) 18 in Alberta last night and, in the third round, gave a nod to classic arcade game Street Fighter.

Campbell unleashed a ‘hadouken’, the special attack made famous by characters Ryu and Ken, before earning a TKO victory.

    I’d like to see Brian Kerr given another chance.A very positive forward thinking manager who still has the best win record for Ireland,is younger than O’Neill,and what he achieved with the Faroe Islands was phenomenal.Spend five minutes on Twitter and the Ipswich fans can’t wait to get rid of Mick.The word dinosaur seems to crop up a lot.For me Kerr who be a no brainer.

    @Padraig: I think Kerr could have more of an impact given a remit at under age level, alongside Ruud Dokter. Or maybe even in charge of the under 21 team. It’s a real pity he’s gone completely unused.

    I would miss Roy. I think he and Brian Kerr would be a good team.

    @GARFARKLE: Roy over the senior and Kerr over the under 21s with a consulting role in the seniors, aiding with player transition to the senior side (even with an eye on the under 19s which looks like a hotbed at the moment). That would be great.

    I wonder if Johnny Walters is only saying that because he’s gone from Stoke now, and he knows how detrimental MON is to the Irish team with his insistence, like Trappatoni’s, that the Irish players aren’t any good, and thus shouldn’t be allowed play football.

    @Gary O’Hanlon: can’t believe people want Roy Keane as a manager. He is clueless. Passion, desire, commitment that’s all he ever says.
