My theory is nominate now, vote later. It was one of those subs that I appreciate as a grappler; Andrade's is one of those ones that I appreciate as a fight watcher.

I guess you'd file it under Worst Hype of the Year but I'd also accept Grossest poo poo: Eagle FC 47, the entire company decides to hype the return of Thiago Silva by talking nonspecifically about how strong his 'personal struggles' have made him and having Kamaru Usman talk about what a family man he is

edit: twenty minutes later they used a promo package for the main event as an opportunity to talk about #freecain, so make it a twofer
