Short Tight Hook

This video is a bit long, almost 20 minutes, but if you have the time it is a good fight. Cung Le is a very interesting fighter. He was originally a Kung Fu stylist who competed in a style of professional kickboxing, then moved into MMA. He uses a lot of traditional techniques that most MMA fighters don't even attempt, actually most MMA fighters couldn't pull them off in practice let alone in a fight. What I want you to see is the strike that was the beginning of the end, a short left hook, that was close, small motion, and powerful. If you don't have time to watch the whole thing skip ahead about 16 min. On the replay they show an overhead view that shows the punch perfectly, striking to the chin. Remember hooks are for close striking not out at a long distance, this is a perfect example.

For some reason the image isn't showing, but the clip is there.
