Watching the end of that tells me I haven't watched enough MMA. I do not know how to analyze the things Bofando was doing wrong. He was laying there getting punched.

Kicking your legs up from mount to try to try to tangle up the other guy's arms doesn't work at all and I didn't know people still try to even do it. The best defense in mount is honestly to just flip onto your stomach and try to defend the ensuing rear naked choke attempt as long as possible.

Can we add a poll to this thread about just how bad "The Cuban Missile Crisis" is as a nickname?

e. I was away from the TV when the other guy got introduced, and I feel like "The Dentist" is also a strong contender for awfulest nickname

This is the 3rd commentary of his in a row in which he's expressed his disbelief at live UFC audiences and their consistently dumb reactions to things despite being the LHW champ and having a ton of UFC fights.

Anything from the prelims I should catch up on before the main card starts?

mewse posted:

This is a UFC on FOX card not a PPV so I don't think streams are verboten but I'm not sure the current rules. Fight pass prelims start at 4:30 Eastern, followed by prelims beginning at 5 Eastern.

Streams are fine for UFC on Fox shows.

he was pretty funny earlier when he was talking about the head kick in Nordine's finisher and said something like "not that I should be talking about head kick defense..."

His last fight was just beating the poo poo out of Jason Knight too, who was either unranked or super low ranked at the time. Seems weird he's not actually doing anything in the division

seems like some fighters had to take the scenic route to the top .. souza, maia, ferguson holloway etc. i guess since they werent always as popular as other contenders? well, its a circus.
