Can

Pound For Pound
Pound for pound is a ranking used in MMA of who the better fighters are irrespective of their weight, i.e. adjusted to compensate for weight class. As these fighters do not compete directly, judging the best fighter pound for pound is subjective, and ratings vary. In the UFC, there are official pound-for-pound rankings although debate around them is fierce. Abbreviated as "P4P"
"Adesanya would beat Mighty Mouse, but only because he's bigger. Pound for pound, mighty mouse is a way better fighter."

Joe Rogan vs Ice Spill
Between rounds of Melvin Guillard vs Ronys Torres at UFC 109, a bag of ice cubes broke inside the octagon spilling all over. Officials tried to hastily clean up the ice, but knocked over the collection bucket, re-spilling the ice several more times. Then they attempted to sweep the ice through the side fencing and nearly left ice in the cage before starting the next round. Joe Rogan was on commentary and hilariously made fun of the ice situation.
Joe Rogan: "Wow look at all the ice all over the octagon. Oh that's a problem, someone spilled ice in the octagon... (about the cleanup effort) they knocked the bucket over, three stooges, what are you freaks doing? Everybody's booing."

Pride Month
June is Pride Month, where MMA fans celebrate Pride Fighting Championships, a Japanese mixed martial arts promotion that operated for ten years, from 1997 to 2007. Pride was home to some of the most famous fighters of that era, including Mirko Cro Cop, Rampage Jackson and Wanderlei Silva. The PRIDE ruleset was also more permissive than UFC MMA, permitting soccer kicks, stomps and knees to downed opponents and body slams directly in the head ("spiking").
