the_mole Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 They mentioned last week something about Kenny Florian and wishing him and his family well, I think his brother or something died. Â I hate Florian & Anik together, sound too a like, I actually noticed Florian a few times in adverts for that robot wars programme, apparently he commentates on that, I think Mick Foley used to present it years ago.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2016 I think Cormier will be great, when's his turn? Â He's well spoken like Cruz but he's not as boring to listen to and his voice doesn't irritate me. If you remember he actually sat in with the commentary team for the Jones vs OSP fight back in April and I thought he did a really good job of it. I think they could do with more guys like Cormier in there. The likes of Cruz and Florian, even Hardy, have fairly dull emotionless voices for commentary. I think DC will be ideal. It'll never happen but I've said before that I'd love to see Matt Serra do it as well. Fuck, Ray Longo would probably be great at it as well actually. Both know their shit, neither are ever boring to listen to and their New York accents would be something different on commentary. Bisping said this week, during his UFC 204 scrum, that he'd be up for doing some commentating as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 25, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2016 I liked Cruz and his high level breakdowns of scenarios and techniques during the fights, but I did find myself tuning out about 2/3 the way through. I agree his voice isn't captivating at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted September 25, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 25, 2016 DC without doubt is the future for me. Â He was superb in his stint for Jones vs OSP and as Wand says doesn't have a grating voice. Â He actually is flexible too in the respect of being able to breakdown a fight but also having the ability to convey his emotions. Â Cruz is just monotonous as fuck and is good behind a desk in front of the cameras but shouldn't be anywhere near a commentators booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree his voice isn't captivating at all. I really enjoyed his breakdowns, and anticipating what moves were coming up. Really added to it for a regular punter like me.

METAL ON METAL Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Yeah, I thought Cruz was good value last night. Knows his shit and can't ever be as bland as Florian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
