The best UFC highlight-reel of the week comes from BH, who has compiled some of the greatest Octagon moments of 2008-2009 (and Nick Diaz‘s 2007 PRIDE fight against Takanori Gomi, for some reason) — into this uplifting clip. Using Coldplay to soundtrack an MMA video is a risky move, but it actually works here, in a "Where the Hell Is Matt?" sort of way. From Akihiro Gono‘s legendary entrance at UFC 94 to the various disappointments of Chuck Liddell — it’s definitely worth a look.
After the jump: A Lyoto Machida-specific highlight reel from firelotus09. Just like Lyoto’s fights, the action doesn’t start right away; if you’re impatient, skip to the 1:43 mark and prepare to be Dragon’d.

The dragon is sick he implements basic karate techniques on top 20 fighters sick, all the while taking no damage. You say boring I say amazing. Lets go lyoto fuck "Suga" up.

The Lyoto vid is outstanding. Perfect sync with the drums and the knockout of Silva.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 01:44
Nobody cares what you idiots think. F*ck yo thoughts nig!

Lol @ Dana White rules. Nice name too.

The key to Machida's success in MMA can not be attributed to his dedication to the arts, his skill in Karate, or his smart evasive fighting style. This means that the secret to his success can only be one thing: That he draws his power from his unibrow. Looks at his opponents, non of them have a uni like him, hence proving that skill and dedication don't hold a candle to the power of the unibrow.

That first HL was not so good. Only Boondock can get away with coldplay on a MMA highlight vid. Youtube "3rd man". Now thats a HL vid. Now that I mention it, I haven't seen a new Boondock HL in a while. Has he retired? He always seemed like an incredibly emotional artist.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:19
The only reason Machida's style is considered boring by the casual observer is because the unified ruled of MMA has yet to allow the use of fire-balls during competition...
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:23
Correction of my typo: ****unified rules
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:23
I liked the photo of Master Funakoshi in the Machida vid, very respectfull of where Machida's art comes from.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:26
OK HONESTLY I'D RATHER SLEEP INBETWEEN TWO FULLY ERECT MEN AND DREAM THAT IM SKIING. CAN YOU GUESS WHERE THE SKI POLES CAME FROM? TEHEHEHEH *BLUSH* *BLUSH* *WINK* *WINK*
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:48
THEY SHOWED THE FIGHT WIFFA CHEETO? LYOTO IS A LEGITIMATE THREAT AND IS A BADASS. IM SORRY THAT HE DOESNT ADHERE TO THE "PLAY TO THE CROWD" TYPE OF BULLSHIT THAT CHUCK N THE BOYS DO. THE FACT IS, IF YOU'RE THAT GOOD AT NOT GETTING HIT THEN THE FIGHT LOOKS BORING. THE SAME RETARDS WHO SAY THAT SILVA ANS LYOTO FIGHTS ARE BORING ARE THE SAME ASSHOLES THAT SAY THAT A BJJ FIGHTER IS BORING CUZ HE FIGHTS ON THE GROUND. ITS CALLED SKILL PEOPLE. TAKE A LOOK YOU MIGHT EVEN LEARN SOMETHING FROM HIM.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 02:50
I wish Machida all the success in the world... i'm just not gonna pay to watch him.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 03:03
first video was a huge letdown
Thu, 05/07/09 - 03:47
I would punch Lyotos Shorts off so Fast and Elusive and then id Find that nice Big dragon he's got and suck it soooo dry!
Thu, 05/07/09 - 03:51
Poor choice of music for the first video indeed. The Machida highlight reel was very nice. I think he'll beat rashad and could be the champ for a while. He's hard to take down, nigh on impossible to hit, trips you up and makes you look stupid and makes it all seem effortless. What a cunt. Still, I can't call him a pussy since I'm not a fan of letting professional fighters hit me in the face either. You could learn from that man Chuck.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 03:57
Karate is clearly the best discipline in MMA.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 04:03
The music in both HL's = Gayer than a cumbeard
Thu, 05/07/09 - 04:12
Wow faggot whoever you are stop using my fucking name. Are you that lame and stupid of a person to do that? Fucking retard. Clearly its not me that says anything to do with homosexual behavior. Faggot.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 04:29
eh Guys enough with the gay homo connotations its getting old ok, we cud learn something from what happened to dana altho chuck is doin a pretty good job... im not joking about this
Thu, 05/07/09 - 05:31
Dude, where is Fightface's April video? The one thing that helps me through my mundane life.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 06:22
Great music on the Lyoto HL.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 07:38
I want Hal's cock deep inside my gay asshole. I can't wait til he cums and sees me at my gym so I can ass rape him and suck his cock right after it cums out of my ass.
Thu, 05/07/09 - 08:54
CAPS LOCK HAL. Stop being a faggot and ruining this site and take it to the forums pussy.
Fri, 05/08/09 - 03:58
If anyone says they don't like Machida, they are knowledgeless about MMA. Not only that, but how can you say you don't know someone you've never met????
Fri, 05/08/09 - 05:20
Noone can be as gay a hal NOBODY
Fri, 05/08/09 - 07:19
well i think this says a lot: 6:22 total length 1:40 intro 1:22 credits that equals 3:20 of action in a 6:22 "highlight" video.
Fri, 05/08/09 - 07:30
bunch of sing when your winning pricks all over Machida now...I got slated for defending him after the Ortiz fight..fcukin turncoats as soon as the media are now behind him he's everyone's favourite fighter? Your comments are article are there as proof. I remember.
Fri, 05/08/09 - 08:28
