I have experience of ring fighting and I have experience (limited) in MMA and I imagine the reaction to follow through on the knock down would have been instinct. Aggression does need to be controlled in a fight because if you do not you lose control and make mistakes and mistakes hurt.

I think this follow through was a mix of MMA instinct to go to ground when given the opportunity and aggression towards this opponent. Boxers only fight on their feet the instinct to hit a man on the floor isnt trained into them. As a kickboxer I to only fought on my feet and would not go to ground to fight but when I was training in MMA you do follow up to ground fighting

If you look at the clip as the guy hits the floor his guard appears to rise Henderson at this points is on his way to ground and hits with one blow

Years ago you would never have seen 2 fighters like this it used to allways pretty much end up on the floor with one or another Gracie winning. Its a lot better to watch now than it was imo
