The UFC has been going all-in on promotion for UFC 200. There’s a fancy commercial, a cool poster, Brock Lesnar is on SportsCenter, and coverage on a number of different mainstream media outlets. But they just ain’t got anything on this little promo here.
In one of the strangest collaborations in combat sports history, the UFC teamed up with famed animator Mike Judge to create an odd, but incredibly fun, cartoon promo featuring “King of the Hill” lead character Hank Hill discussing the UFC 200 main event; Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier 2. And hint, he’s not a big Jones fan.

They actually did a very, very good job of stylizing both Jones and Cormier for this short.
While it’s a tad bit disappointing that the short was stylized towards a “Ren and Stimpy” look rather than Judge’s “King of the Hill” style (or even “Beavis and Butthead”…though praise Allah that he didn’t make us relive “The Goode Family”), it’s still pretty great.
