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 bad-ass 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.
