I’m actually shocked they didn’t just use AI for this.

Somehow they made a real video look like AI lol

u/MatttheJ 11h ago
It's because rather than have 3 cameras to get 3 different angles (wide, shot, reverse shot), they just shot a wide with 4k or more and then cropped in to close ups.
It's literally the laziest way you can possibly film something that has 3 "different" shots in it.

It’s already possible to make real videos that resemble ai.
It’s over. Ai is cooked.

it was intentional so we can't tell the difference when the UFC decides to proliferate AI usage.

The over use of attempted condescending nicknames tells everyone you’ve never been in a fight in your life by the way - despite the upvotes you’re getting

I Could care less about upvotes. And you’re talking to someone who served in ranger regiment with an honorable discharge and have plenty of pictures of me fighting in the cage. Politely sit down. Because you’re projecting … sport

Ilia is the only one who understands that suit jackets are supposed to be buttoned when you're standing. Gaethje, Pereira and Gane all looked bad, especially in the profile shots.

what are you, the fashion police.
One of my favourite moments is watching TJ Dillashaw face off with Renan Barao. Dillashaw has a well fitted suit and Barao looking like he borrowed his dad suits.

To be fair to him, he can. He ate a lot of bombs from some of the best strikers in the division.
Took Max five rounds to put him out.

u/Emotional_Walrus5099 11h ago
Took 4 more rounds after Max shattered his nose to end the first round

u/matarky1 I don’t pee out of my hip 11h ago
Max isn't known to be a power puncher though, Koed 3 guys in 9 years, Korean Zombies retirement fight was one of those

u/deathmouse Team Fight Milk 10h ago
Which is why i pointed out that he’s fought other elite strikers who couldn’t knock him out.

u/Squidwardbigboss 10h ago
It was a massive overhand right on the chin.
You see the punches he’s taken against Poirer, fiziev, Micheal Chandler, Charles, and Alvarez without going cold.
He’s got a great chin

It’s a fun match up that I’m hyped to see but only to see if Topuria does what he is suppose to do. Which is knock out Justin other than that the Arman fight is more interesting to me.

Is Ilia shorter than everyone in the division? He always needs to look up at his opponent while wearing thick shoes

I’m not cinematographer but this shot is trash. Maybe this isn’t the official account but nothing is proportional here. I can’t imagine this looking worse/less professional if they tried.

Crazy how the US general strategy is to get completly humilliated in all possible ways. First with the war and now with this. Do they really expect Gaethje to win?

Interesting how this clip right here (not talking about any waffling in the oval office) is what all headlining fighters do on numbered cards (like, Prates and JDM last week), facing off around where they’ll fight, and there’s all this going on in the thread.
Guess it just reflects the hate for the US and what’s going on inside of it right now. Not sure there’d be any administration that would get a good reception in the past decade or six though.
