MMA Mania's July 14 Open Thread highlights worst CGI moments

MMA Mania's daily Open Thread for Tuesday, July 14, 2026 took an unexpected turn into film criticism, with longtime combat sports writer Tim Edwards highlighting some of cinema's most notorious CGI failures.

Edwards, who has covered MMA since 2015, pointed to the 1994 corporate thriller Disclosure as a standout example of dated visual effects. The thread invited readers to share their own picks for worst computer-generated imagery in film and television, according to the MMA Mania post.

Community discussion ranged from wrestling to zombie films

The thread also covered Monday's wrestling match between Roga and Takayasu, which Edwards described as a quality bout. A new Korean zombie film earned a mention as well, though no title was specified in the original post.

The Open Thread format typically serves as an off-topic hub for MMA Mania readers between major fight announcements. Edwards noted that UFC Abu Dhabi recently lost a headliner with the withdrawal of Anthony Rountree, while bantamweight Cory Sandhagen provided an injury update and Benoit Saint-Denis issued an apology for undisclosed remarks.
