UFC-Style AI Fight Video Ideas: Who to Cast and How to Caption It

Once you know how the Holloway vs Gaethje template works, the useful question is who should be in it. The clip is 11 seconds, two people, one knockout: the pairing and the caption are most of the joke. This is a list of casting ideas, with what each asks of the photos and a line to start the caption. For the mechanics, start with how to make the Holloway vs Gaethje AI video.

Cast your fight

Add the left and right fighter photos, pick a background if you like and make the 11-second Holloway vs Gaethje video with the original sound.

Create this trend

First, the one rule of the template

The left fighter takes the knockout and the right fighter lands it. That never changes, whichever photos you use, so casting is really deciding who goes on the ground. Everyone pictured should have agreed to appear, and everyone should know which side they are on.

Six pairings

1. The group-chat rivals

Two friends who argue about everything. Put the one who started the argument on the left. Use photos in their usual clothes, full body if you have them, and keep the caption on the argument: "Settled it." Show it to both of them before it goes anywhere else.

2. You against yourself

Use two photos of yourself: one in your office clothes on the left and one in training clothes on the right, so the joke is that you won. They need to look different, because the two share a lot of frames in the clinch. "Me vs. the version of me that goes to the gym" is a ready-made caption.

3. Coworkers

Ask first, and only use people who are in on it. The left fighter should be whoever volunteered. A background photo of the office car park works well here and costs nothing extra. Keep the caption about the project, not a person.

4. Siblings

Siblings are the easiest case, because both agree and the photos are on the family phone. Pick two photos where each is in a clearly different outfit. Whoever lost the last game takes the left slot.

5. A character and a person

Any character that reads as a single person works, such as a cartoon or game character. Check the clothes: the outfit in the photo is the outfit in the video, so a character with a cape or big props may not carry through the clinch cleanly. Try a 480p run first.

6. The sports-fan version

Two friends who support opposite teams, each in their team's colours, with a background photo of a stadium car park or a training pitch. Keep the colours plain: the template adds no logos, and a photo with large printed lettering can come through in the result. The sound is a fight-broadcast call, so the caption can lean on it: "Round 5, one second left."

Background ideas

The background is optional and wide places work best. Changing the background covers what to check. A short list to start from:

  • A boxing gym or a ring, for the most obvious "fight night" look.
  • A car park or a street at golden hour, close to the reference light.
  • A kitchen or a garden, for the joke version.
  • Leave it empty to keep the original field with the camper van and smoke.

Captions that work

  • "He pointed at the middle of the cage." Short and tied to the sound.
  • "Round 5. One second left." For a last-second finish.
  • The name of whoever took the fall, and nothing else.
  • Always add that the video is AI-made, for example "AI fight video".

Avoid captions that read as a real fight or a real injury, and do not tag people who have not agreed to appear. If you show the reference next to your version, label which clip is yours.

Frequently asked questions

Who takes the knockout in the Holloway vs Gaethje template?

The left fighter. They start on the left, are knocked out around 9 seconds and end the clip face down. The right fighter lands the finish and walks past.

Can I use a celebrity or athlete photo?

No. Use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to appear. Do not upload photos of celebrities, public figures or athletes.

Can I put the fight somewhere else?

Yes. The optional background photo replaces the grass plain with any wide place that has a visible floor. Leave it empty to keep the original field.

Is this made by the UFC?

No. Oakgen is not affiliated with the UFC or any fighter. The name comes from the fight whose broadcast call is the clip's soundtrack.
