Ironic Indie Lad Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 8 minutes ago, David said: I think he's seriously in danger of being passed by now. The commentary teams are better without him, and have been for a while. He's old news, and is approaching Mike Goldberg levels of nonsense. I agree with this completely. Rogan, Anik and the revolving 3rd man of Cormier, Felder, Cruz or whoever is never good listening for me. I actually get distracted by how much absolute nonsense Rogan spouts at times. If there was an option for the Gooden/Hardy team on every show I would gladly take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 I like Cruz, but I think he's better as a pundit or in-studio analyst, rather than a live commentary guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted July 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yeah I think Cruz is excellent at breaking things down, and explaining strategies, but he either doesn't have the charisma for colour commentary, or it doesn't come accross well in a live action setting. DC is the best in the UFC at it by far. He blends the knowledge with the charisma and entertainment level that a colour commentator needs. Of the current lot of fighters turned commentators, I'd order them from DC, Hardy/Bisping, Cruz, Felder. When DC retires, the UFC should be after him with a big money offer to stay and do all of their PPV's, TV fight nights and US based ESPN plus shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 Bisping’s been great so far for me. Perfect blend of having a ton of knowledge and being entertaining to listen to. He’s quickly becoming DC level for me. Those are my top two. Either of them with Anik would be my team. I like Hardy but I prefer him doing the breakdowns and the sitdown interviews with fighters and stuff. Cruz and Felder are alright but I find them both a bit too dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divorced Dad Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Bisping has been really good on the Contenders Series so far. Knowledgeable and entertaining and you can tell he's done his homework on the guys too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. the four posts above yours are all discussing various combinations of the commentary team and not one mentions Joe as part of it. Speaks volumes. Basically, fuck off Joe!
