The MMA Depressed-us 69: Other Brothers - Part 2 (Alcântara, Guida, & Hughes)

The UFC is on a brief break once again, and that means the Depressed-us is back in action. And we’ve got some make up work to do from our last show, that featured an all-too-fun main event between Luke Rockhold and Paulo Costa. Fortunately we’ve solved that conundrum with another dive into one of our favorite bad MMA genres: other brothers.

While we had intended to make this an all Alex Stiebling opponent theme week (he’s fought Mark Hughes, Jason Guida, Murilo Rua, and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira), only two of those fights ended up being 'D-u' worthy. So we’ve decided to tackle an additional “other brothers" Depressed-us instead... these bouts feature the less notable, less talented, less famous siblings of some of MMA’s favorite fighters.

We’re kicking things off with a bout between Ildemar Alcântara and Leandro Silva from 'UFC on Fuel TV: Nogueira vs. Werdum', at 6:04. This bout went to decision after three rounds. Then we’re jumping to 'Jason Guida vs. Alex Stiebling' at WEC 22, at 32:58. This bout also went to decision after three rounds. And finally, we’re wrapping the whole thing up with 'Mark Hughes vs. Alex Stiebling' at UFC 28, at 57:13. This bout went to decision after two rounds, which is how things rolled back then.

As is usual, we’re watching all of this week’s fights on UFC Fight Pass. If you’d like to watch along with us, start each video from the beginning when Zane says “go.” If you’re watching these fights on another platform, Connor will try and mark the start of round 1 so you can sync your video up to that.
