The…hell

Does anyone REALLY believe this is a "fan" video?

Seriously?

Not a chance in hell.

Zuffa has already been outed for this kind of stuff before when some internal e-mails surfaced where it had been given the green light the fact that employees would start posing as “fans” in discussion forums, where they’d be posting “leaked” footage.

This thing. as well made as it is, reeks of it. Now, add to it that Zuffa pretty much just spat over copyright laws if they happened to use the Southpark song without permission…

Either way, good ad. But the timing is pretty telling in itself.

as I've said everywhere else that's posted this video

awful. Couldn’t even finish watching it, it was so dumb

I still prefer it to the UFC's official "Independence Day" style promo

That sucked. At least this anime version has a touch of humour to it.

Apparently ignorance doesn’t always result in bliss.

IT'S FROM SOUTHPARK PEOPLE!

at it’s pure gold.

Dude this is gold.

If you don’t like this there’s something seriously wrong with you.

Didn't Nathan just post this to the front page yesterday?
Hatsu Hioki opened at around -160

Put some cash on it!

Are they standing in line to get busted by Chris Hansen?
holy shit this has to be shopped

something something pixels

The guy in front is doing his best Vai Cavalo

??

Well at least it wasn't "UFC 144 Hentai-Style Promo Video"
Could've been worse

It could’ve been “UFC 144 Yaoi-Style Promo Video”

or the ever popular "UFC 144 Bukkake Extravaganza"

featuring Rampage (and friends) with Karyn Bryant

We all dodged a bullet on that one.

It amazes me

how many people don’t get the humor involved. Shame on all of you anti-SP heathens.

Do the Japanese people actually really love anime? I’ve always wondered that..

the ones that love anime do

I can't decide which part of this is the best

Bruce Buffer’s legs flapping madly, or Dana & the 2 Fertitas. Amazing.

Rogan when his eyes light up and then he is spinning in the middle of the cage doing the splits.
it started Buffering around 0:43

SWISH SWISH SWISH

also Benson charging up his triangle, and Frankie stomping

were nice effects

also the lip synch of protect my balls and then Joe Rogans smile were awesome

The vid was awesome in its entirety.
yes, these are just moments that I really enjoy

because they are catchy / etc

Why does that main card have 7 fights ?

Will this be the case going forward or just Japan ?

Just Japan

I don’t have a link but I remember it being on here. I think it was so the PPV can start at a reasonable time here in the states.

The Frankie Edgar arm wave and Ryan Bader shadowboxing were the highlights of this, for sure.
