The video above is a very welcome departure from the normal UFC hype videos. It has, dare I say, a "Pride" theme to it; or at least it's a little more akin to the promotional creativity we usually see from overseas.

I agree that this is currently the most anticipated rematch in UFC history. I found their first fight to be the highest display of technical striking and footwork that we've seen yet in MMA, and I'm excited to see how each fighter adjusts their strategy for the sequel.

Beyond the jump, there is a beatifully done highlight video by Machinemen. I'm convinced that the exhilarating striking exchanges were almost being executed too fast to be scored effectively with the naked human eye, and I think the conglomeration of slow-motion replays in the Machinemen highlight really does that opinion justice.
