He believes the backyard brawl nature of these matchups, like Nate Diaz versus Mike Perry, represents an authentic return to the roots of combat sports.

“it's going to be a fun fight, too. We've got the return of Francis Enanu. Let's drop a little ode to the pioneering women uh Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano. Their first fight in 10 years and 17 years.”

He thinks that heavyweight fighters who punch with immense power can end fights abruptly if their opponent drops their hands, regardless of previous conditioning.

“that's the issue when you have a guy that can hit so hard >> that you drop your hands for a second and he can sniper you launching.”
