    We always get to see TUF after the americans, no big loss though! (its always on MMA-core.com the same day it comes out in the US) The quality of the fighers are piss poor and even the winner isnt going to be able to hang with the majority of UFC heavys. I a bit bored of this series of TUF... Frank Mir said he had to stop watching it because it was so poor!

    Edgar vs Veach which I don't understand because Edgar just beat Sherk who arguably was a top 10 at the time. Certainly top 10 UFC LW. They should have put Edgar vs Daddy, that would be a good fight. Hammil vs Jones should be a good one and Houstan vs Kimbo should be an easy win for Alexander.

    Know what you mean! Its hard avoiding those spoilers! I dont know why ESPN wouldnt be showing it live.. they show all other UFC events. I cant wait to see Kimbo KO'd by Houston... If Seth KO'd him with a jab imagine what Houston will do it he gets that cingla collar tie followed but hooks n uppercuts like he did on Jardine! affraid

    Or he could just take Kimbo down and beat him there. Houstan is no Maia on the ground, far from it but even he could beat kimbo on the ground. James Thompson was beating Kimbo on the ground. But I would love to see a brutal Ko though, no doubt Rogan and Goldberg will talk about how much Kimbo has improved as a fighter and how he is ready for the UFC. Then Goldberg will talk about how "classy" he is.

    "Then Goldberg will talk about how "classy" he is."
    Laughing

    He loves that line! I also get a good laugh out his fact cards he has for if the action gets slow... "Kimbo was born and raised in Utah" "kimbo is one of 5 brothers" etc.. he always has these crap facts to give you, usually when the fight hits the floor! I love when Joe Rogan cuts him off in the middel of them! God I wish UFC would hire that Aussie guy who does DREAM or Bas Rutten... or Both!

    Really hoping Kimbo goes down again, I'm already sick of the mention of him........ although the danger is once Houston knocks his gold teeth down his throat we'll probably see him resurface next year in the celebrity jungle, via the WWE, and maybe with a christmas single out as well.

    Never seen such a publicity hunting no-talent getting so many chances off the back of nothing.

    As for Goldberg, expect to hear about how Kimbo's become 'one of the most beloved fighters in TUF history', or perhaps how his ground game is 'a well kept secret', as well as the inevitable 'classy'.

    Haha, I know ive heard him call BJ Penn, Frank Mir and Tito Ortiz classy! All fine fighters but classy they are not. Im suprised he didn't say Lesner was classy after UFC 100.

    I don't mind him too much, he is just really annoying sometimes. I do love the "and it is all over!!" line. I love the aussie guy from Dream he has some really funny lines but I think he is a bit too raucy for the UFC's liking. Rutten would be brilliant. Rogan for the most part is a good commentater except when he gets really biased but overall he knows his shit.

    I love the way Goldie agrees with everything Rogan says, if Rogan is getting Bios towards one of his boys Goldie will always see the fight the same way. He is Rogans Bitch... I can see Rogan tapping his fingers on Goldies head like the Gimp from Pulp fiction! I wouldnt mind seeing the back of Goldie at all. I dont think he is anything special.

    Rogan is a top class commentator I think, I love the way he knows everything about BJJ. Even when guys are just pinning someones arm down he says things like "if he just lifts the arm to the left he could have a Supermegaplatta" (or some other crazy sub you have never heard of!) I love how he always sees openings for these grazy subbs and sometimes thinks fighers are going for them when they are just grabbing an arm! His knowlege of the grappling game is 1st class

    One thing that does annoy me a bit about Rogan is the fact that his sleeves are always down over his hands, as if he's wearing a jumper his nan nitted him.

    Also, he starts every post fight interview with 'alright, I'm here with <insert fighter name>'.... No, really Joe? Shit I thought you were on a beach in the Bahamas!

    So basically like the ridiculous bias shown during the Shogun-Machida fight?

    Couldn't disagree more. I think he's a terrible commentator and is up there with Dana in being a really bad representative of the sport. He's ridiculously biased and doesn't even try to hide it! Compare the horrendous commentary of Goldberg and Rogan to that of Ranello, Shamrock and Gus Johnson. Not even a competition. The CBS team had everything you could ask for. A proper play by play from some1 who knows what he's talking about in Johnson. Colour commentary from Ranello who has an incredible knowledge of MMA and gives a balanced description of what's going on. And Shamrock who's probably the most knowledgable fighter out there and really adds character to the broadcast. The UFC should get rid of Rogan and Goldberg and get the commentary team from the WEC.

    As for his knowledge of grappling, he knows what Eddie Bravo has told him and he sees what Eddie Bravo sees because Bravo sits beside him at every event and is constantly telling him what's going on.

    Forrest Griffin really does look like Opie Taylor! Haha!

    I actually agree with what the headcase has to say about Rogan and Goldberg and Dana wanting them to be more pro-wrestling than professional. Give me boxing commentators every day of the week.

    Didn't you used to be a fan of Rogan Anfield? Times change after the Machida-Shogun fight

    He isn't that bad, he knows his shit. Yes he is very biased at times but thats a minor flaw in a good commentater. Shamrock and Ranello are good comentater. Gus Johnson is awful.

    Johnson is excellent at play by play IMO. He's a boxing commentator so he just calls what he sees rather than what he thinks. He does his job and leaves the opinions to the other.

    I like Rogan as a comedian. Don't like him as a comedian and have been calling for him to be replaced since long before Shogun-Machida.

    Personally I never pay attention to Gus, he is a bit boring but Il keep an ear for him next time to see what you mean.

    But I still think your being harsh on Rogan, besides his sometimes bias commentry he is pretty good. He also talks about fighters from other organisation, he talked up Aoki and Shields not too long ago, which probably pisses Dana off but Rogan doesn't care.
