Nevermind I found out why.

It was right after the big Bama/Missisppi game that went extra long. Huge lead in.

What an impression Teddy's commentary must have left on the audience, can you imagine? Basically shitted on everyone.

Dude could have spent at least half that time calling the fight, letting the audience understand the Light Heavyweight division and the titles that are at stake, or Beterbiev. Would have been a nice introduction for fans. Its a very entertaining and stacked division with a lot of potential unification fights.

I think the B stands for beaterbeaver. Also I might start making threads and then answering my own questions until I'm 100% sure no fucker takes me seriously.

Casual fans like mismatches with punchers.
