Anthony Pettis Kicking the Sh*t Out of These Brazilian ‘Jackass’-Wannabes Is Guaranteed to Make You Smile [VIDEO]

(Props: lafenixtv)

Whenever MMA fighters do a media segment where they’re supposed to beat up the host, they usually hold back a bit to avoid a lawsuit. (Unless we’re talking about Alistair Overeem sparring with a female reporter. Then, it’s…well, you know.) So it’s pretty damn hilarious to see UFC featherweight title contender Anthony Pettis going close to 100% on the stunt-comedy team La Fenix, as he does in the video above. We’ve tabbed out the highlights for your convenience…

0:00-0:20: The fat guy on the left. I can’t look away.
1:05: Bro in the hat and shades gets kicked in the ass. Hard.
1:15: Victim #2 explains that it’s his dream to get punched in the face. Anthony punches him in the face. Real hard. When the victim regains his senses, he says, “Jose Aldo, you are so fucked up.” Oh boy. That’s grounds for a treason charge in Brazil.
1:52: We see that the fat guy has a lazy eye and braces. He gets kicked in the belly…twice. Jesus, man. This wasn’t part of the deal.
3:25: Pettis jams a turning side-kick into a guy rolled up in bubble-wrap.
3:52: Pettis starts to beat the ever-loving shit out of the guy rolled up in bubble-wrap.
4:06: For a moment, I begin to feel bad for the guy rolled up in bubble-wrap.
4:27: This beating is still going on? Unbelievable.
5:08: The moment you’ve all been waiting for — the Showtime Kick.
5:59: “Holy sheetzch.”

Pat Barry Responds, Wordlessly, To Our Half-Baked Matchmaking Suggestion [LOL VIDEO]

(Props: MobyPicture/HypeOrDie)

If you don’t follow CagePotato on Twitter, you’re missing out on loads of incredibly deep thoughts that aren’t quite wordy enough to justify full-length blog posts. For example, this evening I publicly expressed my desire to see a fight between crowd-pleasing heavyweights Pat Barry and Josh Barnett.

Why do you hate us so?Barnett replied, which was good enough to make my night. Then, Barry decided to tweet out a video response, which you can watch above. There are no words, but through 11 seconds of interpretative face-making, HD expressed his feelings more clearly than mere talking ever could. I guess that’s a “no,” then.

How the hell could you not love this man?

Jean Claude Van Damme Makes (And For Some Reason Releases) Creepy/Awesome Love Video Dedicated to Georges St. Pierre

(Props: brakus73)

Years ago, my dad saw a young Georges St. Pierre fight before I did. When I finally got a chance to see GSP in action, I agreed with my dad that he was like some Jean Claude Van Damme movie character come to life, what with his crazy kicks and foreign accent.

How awesome and funny would it be if Van Damme and his real fighter counterpart ever met, we laughed. Turns out, it’s just creepy.

Van Damme spent some time in Montreal with St. Pierre before UFC 154 working out, which is captured in this new video that he produced. We give Van Damme credit for being an actual athlete and for staying in amazing shape — and for, more than likely, being able to kick our asses — but he is creeping into Steven Seagal territory with this video.

While no one can approach the arrogance and outright fabrications of Seagal, Van Damme’s video does include a highlight reel mixing him acting in movies and St. Pierre fighting in real life. Ok, for writers of a certain age (mine) who grew up loving Van Damme movies, short-short splits on counter tops and all, the highlight reel is kind of dope.

Then you realize, “wait, is he actually drawing parallels between his movie roles and St. Pierre?” All that we can forgive the fifty-something actor. It is understandable that a Hollywood actor would try to get attention by jumping on to the MMA bandwagon. Van Damme also seems to be a legit fan of the sport and its athletes. It’s just that he may be too much of a fan of its athletes. Remember his creepy attempted make-out session with Fedor a few years ago?

Well his “training” with St. Pierre, eerily caught on slow motion tape, includes not one but several instances of JCVD pressing down on St. Pierre’s groin area. And, wait for it…yup, there’s even a genuine, full-on groin area grab.

Listen, we’re no Seth Davis and we’re fine with our sons watching MMA no matter how many sweaty men grappling with one another it involves. But editing a video to emphasize groin stretches is awkward, no matter how you cut it.

The coup de grace comes at the very end where, either JCVD has placed a camera on its side on the ground or knocked out his cameraman and we see him give an emotional message to St. Pierre, punctuated by a high kick. Whether, like us, you’ve lost your sense of sentimentality and cannot appreciate what might very well be a real and lasting friendship between St. Pierre and Van Damme, or you buy it, watch the video. It won’t disappoint in either case.
