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.

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.

Awesome. Loved.

What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The land contend with the sea? Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?

Why does that main card have 7 fights ?

Will this be the case going forward or just Japan ?

by Mongoose44 on Feb 21, 2012 7:22 PM EST reply actions  

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.

by Mjub on Feb 21, 2012 8:59 PM EST up reply actions  

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