That's Jon Bois' trademark style. Everything he does is fantastic. He has a series called "pretty good" on youtube that has the same vibe.

This was an interesting watch, and had a bunch of history in it I didn't know about. Kinda curious to see where they end up going with it tho.

I understand Overeem is good with submissions, but while it's not entirely unfair to say Lewis hasn't fought good wrestlers besides Cormier, I think that trend would continue with this fight.

I know Roy is a fat piece of poo poo that falls back on a right hand and his chin, but he's way better at grappling than those other two. He practically wrestle hosed his way through the TUF house.

Lewis won a split decision but Nelson managed to take him down pretty often. He landed only four significant strikes and still almost won the fight. Also, Roy Nelson is bad and has been bad for a long time.

No for real though, he's a turd sandwich and I love watching him get his head punched in.

I think you're fight, some combination of being really fat, having a shot back, being really old and being Tim Sylvia.

Hard to hype up their pedigree while simultaneously calling them trash heaps. Overeem is significantly better

I will never forgive Tim Sylvia for the time we managed to get 50+ people to come to a party based around a UFC event on a projector screen and it was loving Sylvia vs Arlovski at UFC 61. No underage drinking in the world was going to save that

Well it was engaging in a similar way to Silva-Sonnen I - Randy, especially from my less-educated perspective, was a comparatively tiny old fart and he had no business beating the gigantic striker! Well he HOLY poo poo HE KNOCKED HIM DOWN. Basically every round's reset brought tension back to the fight - can Randy hold on for the rest of the fight? I'm sticking around to see what the plucky underdog can do! Honestly, it's super fun to cheer for the old guy who comes out of the hinterlands to show the young bucks what's what, and in that rare case it actually worked out for the old guy.

Then the same thing happened with round 1 of Couture-Lesnar... then round 2 happened.
