(CAAAANNN YOOOUUU DIG IT?!!) If you've ever found yourself entranced by a raspy, baritone voice calling out "We're rollin!" from the locker rooms of a UFC event, then you are undoubtedly familiar with the UFC's "babysitter to the stars," Burt Watson. I will be the first to admit that in my infinite wisdom, I once failed to recognize one of the most crucial members of the sport's highest promotion when he was caught on camera during one of Dana White's infamous
Danavlogs. It is to this date the biggest mindfart I have ever farted (which is saying something), but needless to say, without Watson shuffling fighters around, organizing them for press conferences, and getting them amped up for their fights, the UFC would be a shell of the "well-oiled machine" that it truly is. Wanting to recognize the crucial role Watson plays in the UFC,
Sportsnet recently dedicated a brief video to his greatness, reeling in such UFC stars as
Georges. St Pierre (who does a hilarious Watson impression when prompted),
Frank Mir,
Junior dos Santos, and even the boss man himself to sing his praises. So check it out if you've got a couple extra minutes, and leave your own praises in the comments section.
