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

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: 11 GIFs of Vitor Belfort Being Awesome

At the risk of using the word “bro” twice in one day, bro, Vitor Belfort is an old-school guy. From the day he beat the crap out of that pig-butt Jon Hess during his MMA debut in 1996, he’s been loved and feared for his lightning hand-speed, devastating power, and savage finishes. And next month at UFC 152, he has the opportunity to become the UFC light-heavyweight champion for the second time in his career — he’ll just have to get through Jon Jones to do it. Do you believe in miracles?

In honor of this historic upcoming fight, we’ve rounded up some of the greatest Vitor Belfort GIFs on the Internet. Note: Because some of your computers can’t handle it when we post multiple GIFs on the same page, we’re going to stick with one per page for this gallery. Use the “next page” links to advance through the gallery, and if you prefer the old setup, let us know in the comments section. Enjoy…

GIF of the Year Candidate: Bigfoot Silva’s Pre-Fight Face-Warmup

(Props: Calavero)

In a candid moment backstage before his UFC 146 co-main event against Cain Velasquez, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva was spotted working through a rather unique pre-fight warmup, which included bobbing his massive jaw up and down in Muppet-like fashion, and hammer-fisting himself in the nose. While Silva successfully avoided any painful face-cramps during the fight, he wasn’t able to prevent this from happening.

Gallery: Nine GIFs of Anthony Johnson Being Awesome

(Anthony Johnson vs. Charlie Brenneman)

With knockout power in all four limbs, Anthony Johnson is one of the most athletic and explosive fighters in the UFC. (He said it, so it’s okay for us to say it too.) Now testing his fate at middleweight — arguably a much more natural weight class for him — Rumble will face Vitor Belfort in the co-main event of UFC 142 this Saturday. Will his power be even scarier at 185? Check out some animated highlights from his UFC career, which continue after the jump, and let us know what you think.
