This Video Hilariously Uses Miley Cyrus Twerking At The WMA’s To Promote UFC 164

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll no doubt have heard about Miley Cyrus ‘twerking’ in a skimpy flesh-colored bikini at the Video Music Awards recently, and in a spark of genius the UFC have found a way to use the footage to help promote tonight’s UFC 164 event.

In the video below Cryus’s shenanagins are spliced with audio from UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg with hilarious results, then ending with the message, “Stop twerking. Watch UFC instead.”

The topical nature of this viral marketing promo appears to have hit home with YouTube viewers as the video’s already got close to 300,000 views in six hours!

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
