Manabelldo, owner of Natural Born Comics, is the greatest MMA illustrator that you've never heard of -- and shame on you for not doing your research. He's the same guy who created our slick WorldOverEasy background, along with the illustration of Alistair Overeem on LiverKick.com. There's nothing more fascinating than seeing American MMA depicted from a Japanese perspective. Well, there are a handful of things that are more fascinating, and all of them involve Hayden Panettiere in some way. Now we're blessed with another masterpiece from Natural Born Comics, this time it's essentially the Japanization of Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez at UFC 121. Props to Manabelldo for dropping the MiddleEasy shirt in the comic. Absolutely love it. [Source]

No worries lads, in a couple thousand years we will have evolved into Japanese people and could read this stuff with ease.

i'm guessing the pissed off looking kid in the middleeasy shirt is a brock fan?

in the first graphic i see AA and Bigfoot for sure, I think Josh Barnett right in the middle, and is that Brett Rogers with the mowhawk?? I'm having a hard timer picking out the other fighters. I was assuming the 8 HW's from the upcomming GP but....

ok i got Overeem at the top but only because of the scar.
