‘WTF?’ GIF of the Day: Matt Riddle’s Reverse Spiderman Kick at UFC 154


(I’m sorry, but you’d have to be high as fuck to come up with that. / GIF via TheUG)

UFC welterweight Matt Riddle — who carries a medical marijuana card specifically for his Randleman-related anxiety — won a unanimous decision over John Maguire during the UFC 154 Facebook prelims on Saturday, and in doing so, added another highlight to his growing collection of inexplicable animated GIFs. Here’s Chipper, escaping a single leg attempt by launching himself upward, grabbing the fence for mid-air balance, and kicking Maguire in the grill with his free leg.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani after the fight, Riddle admitted to playing it safe against Maguire because he was coming in on short notice and needed the win, and once again called out butter-toothed Brit Dan Hardy before disappearing into a mist of strange clouds

Gallery: 10 GIFs of Carlos Condit Being a Natural Born Killer


(“Oooh! Carlos learned how to punch. Uh-oh.”)

Although most Nick Diaz fans would be quick to dispute it (or simply just forget about it in the first place), welterweight interim champion Carlos “Natural Born Killer” Condit didn’t just get lucky when The Baldfather was assigning nicknames, he earned his by collecting 26 stoppages in 28 victories. It’s hard to believe that Condit has collected a higher finishing ratio (92.9%) than the likes of Junior Dos Santos (86.7%)or Anderson Silva (78.8%), but the fact remains that when you get in the cage with the former WEC welterweight champ, there’s usually only one way out: via your consciousness.

So in order to refresh our collective memories of just what kind of beast will be challenging Georges St. Pierre at UFC 154, we’ve compiled our favorite GIF’s of Carlos going for the kill after the jump. Enjoy.

Knockout of the Day: Unlucky Brazilian Gets Front-Kick KO’d, Then Flying Knee KO’d [GIF]


(Props: caposa on the UG)

This gif comes to us from Saturday’s Jungle Fight event in Sao Paulo, where Nova Uniao product Ari Santos made short work of opponent Robert Fonseca, finishing him in just 63 seconds. Anytime the Seagal Kick is landed in MMA competition, it’s worth mentioning — but Santos picks up mad style points by dazing Fonseca with a front kick, then lowering the boom with a jaw-crumbling flying knee. Ari Santos, you are officially on our radar!

If you’re interested in seeing a very crappy, TV-shot version of the complete fight, we got you covered after the jump.
