An unfortunate name met a unique accent Saturday night. And hilarity ensued.

Video of an MMA fight between Zac Chavez and Danny Mainus from Resurrection Fighting Alliance 7 on AXS TV has gone viral – not because the two men put on an incredible show. Because of Australian announcer Michael Schiavello’s pronunciation of Mainus.

You can use your imagination, but when Schiavello uttered phrases like “Mainus is relaxed” and “Mainus just bleeding all over Chavez,” it didn’t sound quite right. But it was rather funny in an elementary school type of way.

Afterward, Schiavello tweeted: “Good Lord! I almost lost it laughing!! Seriously… Mainus is bleeding! #raf7”
