I will personally hold Turki Alalshikh's hand ( for 5 seconds) if he can come up with MMA promos on this level (POLL ADDED)

You beautiful obscenely rich bastard

Not laughing at the vid, but the hand holding reference. Has been my favorite way to diss Dana, lately.

 

[Rationality]

Like I said, boxing has more excitement about it right now than the UFC does. Not just because of awesome trailers like this, but also because of big name fights.
I'll see myself out now.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

I did not even know you could use that many letters for a thread start.
You must be very emotional about this!

Thought I was watching a trailer to the next epic movie.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

That promo is legit. Some Braveheart/Highlander shit. Leaps and bounds better than literally every promo the UFC has ever made an intern throw together for no pay.

 

[Rationality]

True story. I have a relative who is a producer for the UFC. Dana is such a %#&* that they can't even put their names in the credits!

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Well that was some dumb ass shit!
Like if someone had sent a child loose with scissors on greater things!
Sometimes I wish Stalin was back making sloping industrial floors so the blood would run efficiently after executions on select places.
I hope it is Russian?

I mean its production value surpasses ANY fight sports promo in history lol

 

[The Siege]

Nice trailer. This kind of production and pageantry would have been something Pride would have done it they were still around.

I don't see Dana going this route. It's like the UFC can't make up its mind, it wants to be a "real" sport with those stupid fighter uniforms but it also wants to stay in the more unregulated "combat sports and entertainment" lane like Boxing.

Give me a Shavkat intro trailer like this one please:

I mean, even in boxing you cant do this all the time, it has to be for the right fight. DA BIG ONE.

Yeah of course, the only big fights that got anything more than the standard walkout was Izzy's with his dance group when he fought Rob and maybe a few others that I'm forgetting. UFC 229 had a nice trailer but it was just a cool narration and the story of Conor vs Khabib was already compelling enough.

 

[Ares Black]

You beautiful obscenely rich bastard

It was a bit much

 

[Ares Black]

That looked expensive. It was as much a sizzle reel for the director/producer as it was a boxing promo. More, actually.

 

[HHJ]

It was a bit much

SHUT TF UP

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Promo of the year for the fight of the year. It really suits the fighters too. Bivol and Beterbiev are no nonsense warrior types. Would have loved to see a similar production for Poatan/Jiri. Poatan the tribal warrior vs Jiri the Samurai.

It reminds me a bit of this video too:



Very serious. No nonsense or trash talk. Two warriors from different countries worked their entire lives to get to the pinnacle.

 

[Ares Black]

Yeah it's a short film more than it is a trailer

 

[Ares Black]

SHUT TF UP

Ok it was way too much. Baahubali levels of camp.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

I’m so hyped for this fight.

Years in the making.
