Just a Thought or Dozen On: WSOF 23

 

Chael Sonnen can do anything. His Caffeine level might have been spiked at the start of the show, but he settled in and gave intelligent, helpful commentary on an exciting night of fights. The Bad Guy has built a reputation as being a true pro on the mic as of late.

Don’t wear your special, gimmick mask after you’ve been KO’d in the first :32 of the fight. I get the T-shirt. Those sponsors paid to be on your shirt so put it on win or lose, but don’t give me your performance persona after getting dominated. Save the mask for the walk out unless you win.

First time I’ve ever seen a tap due to head scissor. Also, Phoenix Jones, worry about promoting your own name and not selling shirts with another guy’s name on them. It’s hard enough to get people to recognize one name. Move forward. Not that you asked for advice.

David Branch tore right through Teddy “Bear” Holder with a RNC 2:21 into the first round. Now Branch holds belts in both MW and LHW divisions for WSOF. That sounds like a ton of pressure.

Holy backflip. If MMA doesn’t work out for Justin Gathje he could be a higher flyer on the pro wrestling circuits, but something tells me the LW Champ is fine where he’s at, especially after such a thrilling win over Luis Palomino.
