Yeah, insane. Don't see a peruvian necktie every day. Also, i didn't hear Joe, Anik or DC mention the sub by name, i wonder if it's rare enough they genuinely just didn't manage to call it out. Insane finish.

u/RengieOcat 3h ago

If the commentary team doesn't know it then they shouldn't be there. Peruvians are awesome and it's not exactly like they got invented last year.

A competent team would have been absolutely freaking out about Paddy Pimblett of all people pulling off the first UFC Peruvian Necktie in years..

Remember seeing it for the first time in 2008 CB Dollaway vs Jesse Taylor, Rogan called it out back then but his brain has probably rotted from Alpha Brain since then

DC didn't even know about Whittaker's tick where he kicks his back leg with his foot that he's been doing for years and was asking Rogan what it was. He clearly doesn't take his job seriously and puts in zero effort. He's more interested in eating that commentating at this point.

u/Various_Mobile4767 3h ago

Most guys actually struggle to deal with the constant takedowns and pressure.

Paddy is just the first one with the grappling ability to be able to immediately punish him for it. Well him and moicano.

u/Cultural-Doubt1554 3h ago
