No doubt he's one of the most boring fighters in the sport, if not the most boring prominent one, but you shouldn't be patting Dana on the back for pointing it out. Before that he claimed to have never seen a Bellator match. That shows you how full of it he is. It would be unprofessional to not check out some of their action when they are one of your biggest competitors and you're angling for some of their talent. Obviously he watches Bellator commenting on Alvarez fights, Lombard, Askren, etc. Dana was just trying to act like Bellator is completely irrelevant to him, but Superior Cage Combat, he's all up in that piece.

He's got to have seen plenty of Bellator... It's his job to be up on what's going on in the sport, and if he didn't watch Bellator he wouldn't be doing it. It's not like he signed Lombard to that big contract without ever seeing him fight. It's also his job to hate on Bellator and make it seem lame so no suprise there either.
Imagine Ben Askren vs Jon Fitch for ultimate boring fighter

I take it the only Fitch fight you've ever seen is the most recent one against Silva...

I personally do not find Askren boring. His fight with Jay being an exception. His fight with Good was a war. The way he dominates guys and breaks their will, like Lima, is pretty impressive. Fitch might actually be a little better at punching people on the ground, but Askren is better at actually Fitching people.

Fitch has an entertaining style. The guy is always in barn burners.
