These days, the world can pretty much be divided into two groups: “Game of Thrones” fans and those who want them to shut up.
As anyone in the latter group can attest, the former is pretty hard to avoid as the smash HBO series nears its conclusion after eight seasons.
But even if you don’t arrange your life around Sunday night’s episodes, you probably can get some enjoyment out of this ridiculous mashup of an old school UFC pay-per-view and the TV adaptation of “A Song of Ice and Fire.” Keeping with this season’s theme of re-animation, Gladiator Man and “Face the Pain” have risen from the dead to make a comeback.
The main event features the matchup everyone’s been looking forward to: Cersei Lannister vs. Daenerys Targaryen. But that’s not who plays them in the UFC octagon, and the MMA casting choices are pretty hilarious. “The Mountain,” who once sparred with Conor McGregor, makes a few appearances.
We’ll leave you to guess which shiny-headed character represents UFC president Dana White.
