You guys, we had a real-deal man-to-man squabble in MLB last night. Two men squared up at second base, one got dropped!

Yes, UFC was on last night ... Yes, the Jake Paul-Nate Diaz boxing match was last night ... But the fight of the night goes to Guardians star Jose Ramirez vs. White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, who squared up like big boys and threw down at second base during last night's game:

Yes you just saw that! Ramirez slid into second, he and Anderson got to flapping their gums, and they decided to have a bareknuckle boxing match right there in the middle of the field. Anderson GOT DROPPED by a big looping right to the jaw after missing with a right of his own:

Here it is in slow-mo with Street Fighter sound effects added because I love you:

It must be said that the announcer's call on the original video above is sub-par. Listen to the Gaurdians' radio announcer call this fight, it's simply outstanding:

"NOW JOSE AND ANDERSON SQUARE OFF! THEY'RE FIGHTING! THEY'RE SWINGING! DOWN GOES ANDERSON! DOWN GOES ANDERSON!

"Ramirez went in with a head-first slide. Jose never gets upset about anything. They came up chewing! Anderson squared off, Jose decked him!"

That's how you call a fight, ladies and gents!

I don't have any idea what set Ramirez off after he slid into second ... Anderson MUST have said something.

Here's the iconic radio call synced up with the better angle of the fight just because it's 🤌:

IMO we should have more of this in baseball. Like hockey used to be. Why let two guys beef and let it simmer and have teams at each other's throats and pitchers throwing 95 mph fastballs at hitters' spinal cords when the two blokes could just settle it like men in 15 or 20 seconds.

Lastly, hey White Sox...
