Video: Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo get the Street Fighter treatment

Nifty

Well, this is one way of promoting a fight.

Brazilian TV network Globo have produced a magnificent promo for UFC 189 that is sure to please all the old-school gamers.

The station have drawn inspiration from the classic beat em up game Street Fighter, to make a nifty (yes, I use that word) ad for the most highly anticipated UFC fight of the year.

The highlight of the video is almost certainly the cameo by a certain grey-haired Octagon announcer with a booming voice that comes completely out of nowhere. It’s as nifty as promos come these days, and that’s saying a lot.

Nifty.
