If we’ve left out one of your favorites, shoot us a link in the comments section. Props to ZombieProphet, Gordo on the UG, and everybody else who spends time making these things.

MMA GIF of the Day: The Doodooplata?


(I’m just gonna pull this dude’s turd-cutter directly over my neck, brb. / Props: Crooklyn)

Whether you’re drinking Tom Erikson’s sweat or staring into the abyss of Dennis Hallman’s balls, MMA can put its competitors in some rather uncomfortable positions. This horrifying clip comes to us from Legacy Fighting Championship 9 on Friday night, during which Rakim Cleveland accidentally came face-to-face with Derrick Lewis’s bare ass. Not cool, bro. Lewis went on to win the fight by third round TKO.

Gallery: 14 GIFs of Lyoto Machida Being Awesome

Lyoto Machida gifs MMA sweep
(Once again, “elusive” trumps “explosive.” Lots more giffy goodness after the jump.)

Unlike our previous GIF galleries, this one will not feature any shuffling or bumping bitches out of the way. Instead, we’ve got 14 examples of Lyoto Machida in the cage doing what he does best — beating his opponents to the punch and foot-sweeping them into a living death. The question is: Will any of it work against Jon Jones at UFC 140 this Saturday?

(Urijah Faber rocks Brian Bowles with the uppercut that he later credited to teammate TJ Dillashaw…)


(…then hands Bowles his freakin’ ass on the ground.)
