AI Fight Video Trends Compared: McGregor vs Aldo, Masvidal vs Askren and More

An AI fight video is a short clip in which two people from your photos take the place of the fighters in a reference scene. Oakgen has several of them, and each is styled after a fight people already search for by name. They are not interchangeable: each has its own length, frame shape and ending. This article lines the four UFC-styled ones up so you can pick the one that fits the two people you want to cast, and links to the guides for each.

None of them is a real fight or a replay of one. They are staged slapstick edits, and the reference clips are described here as reference clips, not as Oakgen results.

The UFC angle

Each template is styled after a UFC-world fight, and that is also how people search for them.

  • McGregor vs Aldo. UFC 194, 12 December 2015, Las Vegas: Conor McGregor knocked out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, the fastest finish in UFC title-fight history. The template is a 13-second staged alley fight.
  • Masvidal vs Askren. UFC 239, 6 July 2019: Jorge Masvidal knocked out Ben Askren with a flying knee in 5 seconds, listed as the fastest knockout in UFC history (per 2019 sources; check the current record). The template is a staged seven-second flying-knee fight.
  • Topuria vs Gaethje. UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn, 14 June 2026: Justin Gaethje won the undisputed lightweight title when the fight ended in a corner stoppage. The template's knockout is staged and is not a replay.
  • Demetrious Johnson. The backyard template is styled after a Demetrious Johnson fight; the opponent is not identified here.

None of the clips is footage of a real bout, no fighter's face or voice is used, and Oakgen is not affiliated with or endorsed by the UFC, any promotion or any fighter. Please do not upload photos of fighters or other public figures.

Take the knockout in the neon room

Two photos, one 12-second gaming-room fight that ends on the winner grinning into the camera.

Create this trend

Topuria vs Gaethje is 12 seconds in a near-square frame. A shirtless winner and a loser in a hoodie and beanie square up in a neon-lit room, trade punches and clinch, the loser drops, a high-angle cut shows him on the floor, and the last two seconds are a close-up of only the winner laughing into the camera. That final shot means the Winner's photo matters most. Step by step: How to make a Topuria vs Gaethje AI video. The real result versus the staged clip: Topuria vs Gaethje AI video explained.

Start with the backyard fight

Two photos, one 14-second vertical fight: slaps, a knee against the house wall and a sprawl on the concrete.

Create this trend

Demetrious Johnson is 14 seconds in 9:16 vertical. Two men in brown jackets trade slaps and a raised-knee kick on a patio, clinch, and the camera cuts to a stucco wall where one drives a knee into the other, who slides down, sits dazed and ends flat on his back.

Each keeps the reference clip's own music bed, has no speech, and offers 720p or 1080p at the same price. Check the quote in the tool, because it covers the whole clip. Older fight templates on Oakgen, such as Holloway vs Gaethje and Bathroom Fight, have their own pages for their sound and options.

How to pick

  • You want something short and sharp. Masvidal vs Askren is one shot and seven seconds.
  • You want a story arc. The Demetrious Johnson template has the most stages: the slaps, the clinch, the cut to the wall, the knee and the sprawl.
  • You want a punchline. Topuria vs Gaethje ends on a close-up laugh, so cast the person with the best photo as the Winner.
  • You want the matching length. McGregor vs Aldo's 13 seconds is the same length as the real knockout it echoes, which makes a neat caption.

Casting two people

Pick two people who look clearly different from each other, because the fighters share many frames up close and a clinch hides faces. Different hair, skin tone or outfits help. Agree who takes the fall before you upload, and tell them which slot they are in. The wording differs per template, so each guide explains its slots: McGregor vs Aldo casting, Topuria vs Gaethje casting, Masvidal vs Askren casting and Demetrious Johnson casting.

Posting responsibly

Label the video as AI-made. Use photos only of adults who agreed to appear, and never celebrities, public figures, strangers or children. Do not post it so that it suggests a real fight or a real injury. If a platform mutes or flags the music, replace it with licensed audio. The captions guides cover the details: McGregor vs Aldo, Topuria vs Gaethje, Masvidal vs Askren and Demetrious Johnson.

What is verified

  • The reference clips' length, shape, setting and beats, read from the clips themselves.
  • That the four templates carry a music bed and no speech.
  • The real-fight facts above, from published reports of the events.

What is not verified

  • Which fight each reference clip was styled after; that comes from how the clips are presented and searched, and is not confirmed from the footage.
  • Whether the reference footage is real or AI-made.
  • The songs.
  • Any view counts, rankings or search volume, none of which was measured for this article.
