OK, as much as I respect the guy who throws together these Mortal Kombat themed UFC video’s for bringing a smile to my face on a balmy afternoon, I have to nitpick: Machida is Ryu from Street Fighter, this is confirmed. I guess it’s fine to make him Liu Kang but Liu was much, much smaller (practically bantamweight or maybe a featherweight if he was feeling bloated) whereas Ryu from Street Fighter was beefier and actually looked like Machida, or Machida looked like him. Besides, a more Mortal Kombat esque match would be the Aldo/Hominick bout, but at this point I’m starting to be a douche…
This may mean nothing to some of you but on the flip side I think it means something to someone so, there you have it. It had to be said, I’m sorry man who goes through the trouble of making these, they are still entertaining if not entirely factual. Regardless, watch this Mortal Kombatified clip of Couture/Machida and enjoy it a lot more if you aren’t a video game history nerd like me.
I don’t play videogames I just study their history.
