Awesome Mma

Directed by Cassius Corrigan, this psychological thriller follows the story of an up-and-coming MMA fighter battling dissociative identity disorder. As he delves into his trauma with a psychologist, he risks his career, as his rage is his greatest asset in the ring. Now streaming on HBO and HBO Max, on TV on HBO Latino.

(Gore) At MMA league Shamrock FC’s 285th live event, featherweights Axel Cazares and Alan Vasquez gave the crowd  – and each other – a stunning result. The fighters connected with a hard right on each other’s face at the same time. Someone still won though. Kind of.

“JUST! LIKE! THAT!” An unofficial compilation of UFC fights that lasted less than 20 seconds, including Ronda Rousey’s armbar on a reckless Cat Zingano, Conor McGregor’s high speed drive-by on Jose Aldo, and of course BJ Penn rearranging Caol Uno’s face.

(Gore) Redditor sinjinnn compiled some of the most vicious knockouts and stoppages from the UFC, Bellator and other mixed martial arts leagues. There’s nothing like a well-timed single shot, but the combos and slams never get old.

Conan O’Brien is one of the many celebrity investors who now co-own the UFC. But he’s the only one who’ll put his face where his money is. Just look at that pose. He clearly knows what he’s doing. Or maybe he’s just punking someone.

Another intense round of fighting in the M-1 Medieval league, as one armored opponent beats the holy snot out of another, and proves that all that armor does nothing to save you from a knockout in the ring.

Learn how to make a fancy invitation card while legally beating a man unconscious. The Kicker turns a pun into a full skit with the help of former UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman. Go on, call him Glitter Glue.

(PG-13: Language) “That’s me after three beers.” Conan O’Brien tried the latest UFC video game with UFC featherweight champ – and now lightweight loser – Conor McGregor using their respective characters. Conan would’ve won if Conor was controlling Jay Leno.

Showing that class isn’t proportional to one’s bank account, YouTuber 5th Round presents a compilation of douchebaggery among UFC attendees, whose brains are forced back into the Stone Age at the prospect of a bloodbath.

Conor McGregor is the top contender in UFC’s 145lb. division. Watch him face off in a playful sparring session with Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, Game of Thrones’ Mountain and Europe’s Strongest Man for the past 2 years. The loser? Anyone who looks at the comment thread.

“He does such wild, unorthodox stuff.” mmadigest added the commentary from the Silva vs. Belfort UFC match to a video of a groom accidentally knocking out his new wife in spectacular fashion.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioner Gene Cook Jr. demonstrates some of the martial art’s moves with the help of his pitbull Koa. Now we know how to armbar a dog. Actually we didn’t get any of that at all. Koa’s too funny.

UFC light heavyweight fighter Sean O’Connell knows that fighting is his job. He’s not doing it because he hates his opponents, so sometimes he asks them to goof off with him during weigh-ins.

Combat league M-1 has a Medieval division, which is like MMA but with medieval armor and weapons. It’s both hilarious and terrifying. Skip to 4:07. Highlights here. More here. You know what to do, Gregor Clegane.

At the World Series of Fighting 18, Shane Campbell put Derek Boyle on his knees with a body kick. Then he topped it off like a boss, pulling off either a Street Fighter fireball or Sub-Zero’s iceball.

Apparel for fight fans. Roots of Fight makes t-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts based on the greatest boxers, MMA fighters and trainers, including Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Freddie Roach, the Gracies and Bruce Lee.

You’ve seen Bruce Lee in the octagon. Now check out real world fighters Anthony Pettis and Jose Aldo square off in this sample round. They still have the dead eyes of video game characters, but otherwise it all looks good.

EA Sports reveals in-game footage of Bruce Lee in its upcoming PS4 and Xbox One UFC game. The martial arts legend will be playable in the league’s flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight and lightweight divisions.

For AutoZone’s recent Duralast ad campaign, they asked MMA champion Chuck Lidell to demonstrate his ability to stop things thrown at him. Sadly, it’s mostly CGI. We think Chuck really could stop a wrecking ball. More here.

(Gore) A skit from The Onion SportsDome about a disabled Army vet who can’t get into the UFC because of his handicap. In case that sentence just made you unsheathe your righteousness, we’re going to say it again: it’s from The Onion.

Sorry Lyoto, but the real Dragon is here. Alongside in-game footage of vicious knockouts and submissions, the latest gameplay video for the Xbox One and PS 4 MMA game reveals that Bruce Lee will be a playable character.

(Gross) Travis Newaza made his opponent quit at a jiu-jitsu competition, but not because of a throw or a submission hold. Travis accidentally (?) passed gas while his ass was right by his opponent’s face. So… did he advance?

Looks like both EA and the UFC ate their words and are now teaming up to release a game. So far, so good. Be sure to watch it in 1080p. EA Sports UFC will be released for the Xbox One and PS4 this spring.
