UFC 196 already has plenty going for it.
Almost everything there is to be said about the Conor McGregor v Nate Diaz main event has been said already, while the Holm v Tate title fight is one of the most hotly anticipated bouts not to get top billing.
But the promotion has decided there’s a way to ramp things up a little more – by introducing a masterclass in narration from DMX, of all people.
Hearing the rapper introduce Diaz as “an authentic badass who backs down from no one” somehow adds something fresh to one of the most talked-about sporting events of 2016 so far.
It’s on.
