Literary gunslinger Eugene S. Robinson lends his “one”-of-a-“kind” “perspective” to the night of long knives and double fights in UFC 206 and the preceding UFC Fight Night 102 and for the first time a very serious sense that you don’t spend $4 Billion on something you intend to ignore. So all of the dark mutterings from corners near and far? Riding out of town on a rail as the CUB SWANSON-SUPER BOY joy reigns supreme and we get to witness first hand what happens when big brains go big.
IN Round #285, EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the “S” standing for “Sancho”], KNUCKLE UP hostest with the mostest and the angriest voice in America uncovers rare moments of joy because of the reality that it’s really not just up to him and others of our ilk to keep this ship right and the absenteeism that had infected the UFC corner offices have given way to some fresh blooded and genius moves, seemingly also reflected in fight styles on display and the fights they’re displayed in. Yup. Joy in Mudville tonight, baby. Believe it.
And for the listener ON THE GO? The KNUCKLE UP TIME LINE.
