“Street Fighter” is one of the greatest fighting classics in video games and has drawn a generation of young people to the almost extinct arcades in recent decades. Today renowned, the classic from the producer “Capcom” inspired a parody of one of the biggest fights of recent years: Robbie Lawler x Rory McDonald.

The video released on the internet portrays, in the style of the game “Street Fighter II”, the co-main fight of UFC 189, in July of this year, which marked Lawler's first title defense. The producers' care was so great that other MMA names even appear on the character selection screen, such as Anderson Silva, Yoshihiro “Sexyama” Akiyama and Andrei Arlovski.
