In which I offer my post-fight review and analysis of UFC Fight Night 36: Machida vs. Mousasi from top to bottom and rate each bout a watch now, watch later or watch never.

If you like this sort of thing, subscribe to MMA Nation on YouTube and get all of my videos as soon as they’re uploaded.

Having troubles viewing the video? Watch it on YouTube.

Topics covered include:

  • Mousasi’s attempt to use the Shogun Rua game plan against Machida and why it didn’t work for him
  • The walking tedium that is Francis Carmont
  • Erick Silva’s squash match
  • Charles Oliveira nearly blowing his anticipated squash match against a very game Andy Ogle
  • The overwhelming number of fights and fighters on this card that are of no concern to any but the most desperate for action MMA fan
  • The surprising grapple fest put on by Iuri Alcantara and Wilson Reis
  • Maximo Blanco’s heartbreaking ways
  • Brazilian judges — oh snap I forgot to complain about the completely biased Brazilian judges in the video. Text complaint will have to suffice. Two words: 30-27? Really?
  • A tale of 2 Russian prospects: Albert Tumenov and Zubaira Tukhugov
  • and much much more….ok not really I kind of rushed through this one to make up for the endless grind that was the event.
Enjoy!
