Absolute Must See: “Grand Theft Title 2″
MMA highlight-video master Genghis Con — whose nuts we’ve hugged in the past — went on the UG yesterday to plug his new video, which documents the “Beef” between Georges St. Pierre and Matt Serra. It’s as amazing as you’d expect, but while poking around his previous works, we came upon “Grand Theft Title 2,” an absolute gem from last year which focuses on Mauricio “Shogun” Rua’s killing spree in PRIDE’s 2005 Grand Prix, where he took out Quinton Jackson (at Total Elimination), Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (at Critical Countdown), and then Alistair Overeem and Ricardo Arona in the same night (at Final Conflict); you can watch it above.
The GTA video game theme allows for fun touches like the “Change View” at -8:23 and “Unlocked: Foot Stomps” at -7:05, but the use of Liberty City’s soundtrack really sets this one apart. How freaking cool is Grandmaster Flash’s “The Message” playing during the Nogueira and Overeem fights? Con is on a whole ‘notha level. Anyway, check it out, tell a friend, and set aside some time to watch the rest.
About the GSP vs. Serra Rivalry
Matt Serra shocked the MMA world by knocking out Georges St-Pierre at UFC 69 in April 2007, one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. The bad blood between the two built up through their coaching stint on The Ultimate Fighter, and St-Pierre won the rematch at UFC 83 in Montreal in April 2008, stopping Serra with knees to the body in the second round.
