Yeah, I'm gonna post some news on our own news. I can do that. Why? Because its my blog and I'm a jerk. The other night I sat here and cut together a little video showing Mr. Miyagi being a trainer for that Machida dude. (I don't watch UFC, I like my fighting scripted). Well I was expecting it to just be a little video to get some laughs between a few. Not expecting the explosion that followed.
It is now all over the net, even being featured today on G4s Attack Of The Show in their Around The Net segment where it was #1.
So a huge thanks to the G4 people for featuring this video on their show. And a very big thanks to FilmDrunk.com for being the first site to pick up on this video. When will another video like it come along? Don't know, need something awesome to happen in sports that could tie in with a movie.

Video: Lyoto Machida Learned the Crane Kick from Mr. Miyagi
UFC 129 delivered some great moments, but none more spectacular than the finish of the Lyoto Machida vs. Randy Couture fight. This fight was Couture's retirement fight, as he had announced that win, lose, or draw he would be done after this fight. Randy went out in grand fashion, although he was on the losing end of this fight.
Lyotoa Machida won the fight with a crane kick to the face......yes, THAT crane kick. The announcers were shocked at the finish, saying it was one of the most memorable in UFC's history. Machida delivered the signature crane kick to Couture's face, and it was lights out from there. Commentator Joe Rogan seemed astonished to see what he described by name as the "crane technique."
Now all the questions can be answered. While Machida credited Steven Seagal, we all know that the crane technique came from Okinawa by way of Mr. Miyagi! Daniel Larusso used it to win the All-Valley tournament in 1984, and now UFC fighters are realizing the magic of Miyagi family karate. Now after all these years, we know that the crane kick is NOT a fake move that was invented for the Karate Kid movie, and is a legit destructive move that wins MMA fights......see for yourselves:
