There was a pretty humorous moment during an OCtaogn interview on the UFC 196 preliminary card.
Featherweights Teruto Ishihara and Julian Erosa kicked off the action on the Fight Pass exclusive early prelims, with the Japanese fighter getting the victory via second round knockout. Isihara finished the fight with a glorious left hook followed by some nasty ground and pound 34 seconds into the second stanza.
After the fight, the victor did the obligatory Octagon interview conducted by Joe Rogan with the help of a translator. Ishihara ended the interview with a celebratory scream which for some reason caused the UFC colour commentator to point the mic in the translator's direction prompting a translation.
Without skipping a beat, the translator said, "He's excited."
