UFC 253 sober play-by-play: Israel Adesanya made it look so easy by being so smart

It’s been awhile since I’ve dusted off the ole’ play-by-play chops. I never had them to begin with, granted, but I want to bring them back because I believe that philosophy is all around us: even when it has to do with humans beating the shit out of other humans. And in philosophy, one of the oldest concepts since Marcus Aurelius was told to avoid public schools — is causation.

The relationship between cause and effect can be simple enough. A punch resulting in a knockout has a clear cause and effect relationship between one another.
