Must-See Videos: “MMA in January ’09,” Gono’s Big Entrance

(Props: Facey)

Our boy Matt S./"Facey" just sent us the second installment of his brilliant MMA highlight reel project, where he complies the best moments from each month into a single, convenient video. January ’09 had more than its share of killer moments, from Jose Aldo‘s knee-knockout and people’s-champ celebration at WEC 38, to the string of near-lethal KOs at "Day of Reckoning," to Jon Jones‘s utter tooling of Stephan Bonnar, to Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal’s call-and-response bit at Sengoku 7. You can check out more of Matt’s work at FightFace.blogspot.com.

I hope the next time Gono fights, he and his entourage make the walk in Snuggies.

I'll agree with the current consensus here, Genki is still in the lead. But which piece of Genki's brilliance is the ultimate in entrances? I feel an Ask The Potato coming on.

The 5:13 mark of Facey's video is as close to fuckin' perfectas anything is gonna get. Awesome job.

Gono rules. The guy is soooo entertaining. He can pull off cross dressing better than my uncle...

schnetzler set the bar high with those rhyming nicknames. I will expect one for every card from here on out.

Facey's videos are my new reason to live.

it should be mandatory for Zach de la Rocha to sing in every mma highlight video. Great vid Facey. I want to hit something.
