How to Make a McGregor vs Aldo AI Video From Two Photos

A McGregor vs Aldo AI video is a short, staged fight with your own people in it. In a narrow brick alley, two fighters square up in martial-arts stances, trade slaps, one swings a tote bag, the other staggers and falls, and the winner ends standing over them. The clip lasts 13 seconds, the same length as the real knockout at UFC 194 (12 December 2015, Las Vegas), when Conor McGregor beat Jose Aldo in the first round and took the featherweight title. The clip is styled after that finish, but it is a staged version with a different shape, not footage of the real fight. Oakgen's template puts two people from your photos in the fighters' places. This guide goes from the photos to posting.

What the template gives you

One 3:4 clip, 13 seconds long, set in a narrow brick alley with fire escapes, green dumpsters, cardboard boxes, bin bags, wall lamps and cracked asphalt. The timings below are approximate readings of the reference clip: a wide, still stand-off for the first 4.5 seconds, a closer shot with the first slap from about 4.5 to 6 seconds, slaps, a swing of the tote bag and a grapple from about 6 to 9 seconds, a stagger and a shove from about 9 to 11 seconds, the fall at about 11 to 12.5 seconds, and the winner standing over the loser, back to the camera, for the last half second or so. It is staged slapstick, with no blood, no weapons and no injuries.

A frame from the reference clip, not an Oakgen output and not footage of the real fight. Your two photos replace both fighters.

The second-by-second detail is on UFC 194 AI Video: 13 Seconds Beat by Beat.

Step 1: Pick two people and two roles

Choose two adults who agreed to appear. Decide who is the Winner and who is the Loser before you upload anything. The Winner does the slaps, the bag swing and the shove, and ends on their feet. The Loser takes it and ends on the ground. Ask both people first and tell them which role they have. The casting guide, Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo AI Video With a Friend, covers pairings and consent, including the extra care needed with grandparents and older relatives.

Step 2: Choose the photos

Use one photo per person: head and shoulders, face forward, even light, hair fully visible and no hat. Upload the Winner first and the Loser second, because both are required and the slots are in that order. Pick two photos that look clearly different from each other, with different hair or different tops, because the fighters share many close frames. Avoid group pictures, sunglasses, masks and heavy filters. The full guide is Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo AI Video: Photo Guide.

Step 3: Know what is replaced

The reference Winner's silver-white wavy hair, round glasses, earrings, blue skirt suit and pale flat shoes are not kept, and neither are the reference Loser's short white hair, round glasses, dark overcoat, green sweater, blue patterned scarf, brown trousers and black shoes. Each fighter gets the hair, the outfit and any glasses or jewellery from their own photo, and a coat, scarf or glasses appear only if the photo shows them. Nobody's face, age or build is copied. The cream tote bag and the small white shoulder bag stay as plain props with no lettering. The alley, the camera cuts and the timing stay as in the reference clip.

Step 4: Choose the quality and read the quote

Open the Oakgen trend page, add both photos and choose 720p or 1080p. Both qualities cost the same flat rate, and the quote shown in the tool covers the whole 13-second video. That quote is the only price that counts, so check it before you generate.

Step 5: Generate and check

Watch the result once with sound and once muted, and step through the middle of it:

• The stand-off (0 to 4.5 s): exactly two people, the alley as in the reference, no writing on the walls or the bags. Dark bands at the top and bottom of the first seconds are part of the reference clip.
• The first slap (about 4.5 to 6 s): faces are largest here. Check both still look like their photos.
• The bag swing and grapple (about 6 to 9 s): the tote bag keeps one shape and one colour, and the strap is not an extra arm.
• The stagger and shove (about 9 to 11 s): the Loser keeps the outfit from the photo, and the Winner's shoulder bag stays on the shoulder.
• The fall (about 11 to 12.5 s): one body, two arms, two legs, landing on the cracked asphalt.
• The finish (about 12.5 to 13 s): the Winner stands over the Loser with their back to the camera, so their face is not visible here, as in the reference.
• The sound: the music bed, with no speech.

A short blur in fast motion is normal. A different person is not. If a beat fails, generate again rather than posting.

If something looks off

Most problems come from the photos, not the tool. If the two fighters look alike in the close shots, regenerate with one lighter and one darker top, or one photo with longer hair. If a face looks small and soft in the wide stand-off, swap in a sharper, closer photo. If lettering or a logo shows up on a bag or a shirt, check that the photo itself does not carry one, because plain clothing is what the template asks for. None of these fixes guarantees a particular result, so judge the video you get, not the one you hoped for.

Step 6: Post it responsibly

Your video is AI-made, so label it as AI-made in the caption and in the platform's AI setting. Do not present it as a real fight, a real street or a real injury, and do not post it in a way that suggests elder abuse. Use only photos of adults who agreed, never fighters, other public figures, strangers or children. If a platform mutes or flags the music, replace it with licensed audio.

Frequently asked questions

How many photos do I need for a McGregor vs Aldo AI video?

Two, and both are required. The first photo casts the Winner, who swings the tote bag and ends standing. The second casts the Loser, who takes the slaps, staggers, falls and ends on the ground.

Do I need elderly people, glasses or a coat in my photos?

No. Each fighter takes the face, hair and outfit from their own photo, and nobody's age or build is copied from the reference clip. Glasses, a scarf or a coat appear only if the photo shows them.

Is there music or speech in the video?

There is a music bed and no speech. Your video keeps the clip's own music. The song is not identified here, so replace it with licensed music if a platform flags it.

How long is the video and in what shape?

13 seconds in a 3:4 frame, at 720p or 1080p. Both qualities cost the same flat rate.

Is this the real McGregor vs Aldo knockout?

No. The template is a staged 13-second brick-alley clip styled after the knockout at UFC 194 on 12 December 2015, which also took 13 seconds. It is not footage or a replay of the real fight, and Oakgen is not affiliated with the UFC or any fighter.

Can I upload a photo of a fighter or of an older relative?

Not of a fighter or any other public figure. Photos of adults who clearly agreed to appear are fine, and that includes older relatives only if they have said yes.

Is the preview video made by Oakgen?

No. It is the reference clip the template follows. Nothing in this guide is an Oakgen result.
