    Let's help each other learn how to pronounce fighter's names

    Spell Tugstsogt Nyambayar phonetically one time because that first name is crazy. Add more names as needed.

    Just think if Mr. Mafaufau Tavita Lio Mafaufau Sanerivi Talimatasi hadn't the "David Tua" name for us to rely upon.

          I stiil have to understand if "Ibeabuchi" is pronounced like "I be a boochie" or "E bea boochie" ("bea" as in "bear").

          Probably a Nigerian would answer with a third option..

              With all these guys on the comeup from all over the world these days I don't think this is a bad idea. Too many cats out here who's name I can't say with any amount of certainty its actually his name til he gets super famous & I feel like I'm not hyping guys worthy of hype cuz their sh^tty to say name is holding me back. For an example that "The Nail" 175lb guy would never get talked about if not for his nickname being The Nail lol.
