Did Todd Grisham botching Sakuraba’s name get him fired?

[TheSpider]

Get out of there Travis! was another Grisham gem.

 

[Nihongi]

I still cringe at that

 

[Bob Sapp]

Ke Zoo She Seh Koo Rah bah

 

[AmericanMMA]

I had not seen this. cringey as hell

 

[sonhow]

It's...Christian.

His finest wwe moment.

 

[JustBleed69]

I've been wondering the same thing.
Only time hes commentated for the UFC ever correct?

 

[Sonny Qc]

So.... an MMA announcer didn't know Sakuraba?

jeezus christ.....

 

[VVarhead]

I goddamn hope so.
Remember hearing that live and shitting on him with the guys on sherdog.

 

[Char Jawz]

Can we just start calling him "Goldie" Grisham?

 

[wufabufa]

Ta zoo she Sah KOO rabba.

 

[VVarhead]

Also why the hell did they fire Jimmy Smith? He's probably the most talented commentator they ever had apart from Brian Stann, at least in my opinion.
Also didn't see a lot of guys hating on Jimmy Smith.

 

[Summoning]

Fired him wasn't enough.

 

[BigTruck]

Who got fired from what?

 

[Sweater of AV]

Pink Bald Goof fired Goldie and brought in Grisham.



You don't fuck up the GOAT's name and expect to keep your job.

Ya, that was a weird one. Especially considering they seemingly were trying to beef up the commentary staff.

 

[Skarr]

I dont know for sure if it got him fired but thats Dana's favorite fighter of all time

and obviously a true legend of this sport, get his name right or GTFO that was disgraceful

I didn't get that either. Jimmy Smith was one of the best I thought. Dana probably just didn't like him or something.

 

[theincognito]

I think they moved him to Fight Pass. He does Glory announcing and possibly other orgs.

 

[Pillar of Society]

I find it more disrespectful that Joe Rogan still doesn't know how to pronounce surname Miocic even tho Stipe is at the top of the HW division for over 5 years, and all the other commentators I've heard made that little effort to learn how to pronounce the surname of UFC's HW Goat (or at least the guy they are trying to present as the HW Goat)

 

[Overeem]

Fired him wasn't enough.

Should have fired him out of a cannon into the sun
