like a billion times.

cruz is the fucking man.
 
LOL are we talking about commentary still or are you talking fighting?

I actually think GSP is 2nd GOAT, behind Fedor.

I was being sarcastic because that's how all the GOAT talk goes around here. You'll catch on:) Welcome
Lol whoops I thought you were talking about fighting thanks though
 
Him & Rory should hang out... :p

Ah, good ol' Rory "I want a NHB fight" MacDonald.

No you don't, Rory.

I watch this stuff for shits and giggles, I don't train and the technical mumble jumble confuses and angers me.

A hunnerd percent! I often respond to things I don't understand with anger (and sometimes violence), too. Especially when I've downed a couple of does of Alpha Brain (c) (10% off with code ROGAN).
 
It gets way darker.

"When you use a magnifying glass and you're trying to burn an ant on the ground, you don't keep moving it to different objects. You keep it on that ant until the ant sets on fire, and when the ant sets on fire, you've won. You caught that thing on fire, right?"

It's telling that the analogy that comes to his mind is torturing a defenseless animal to the point of immolation.

"I have to study all these UFC Fight Pass prelim guys who there's no film on," Cruz says, flipping through the UFC Fight Night 95 undercard. "The only way to get film on them is to look them up on YouTube. And if you don't have internet, you can't watch YouTube. So how am I supposed to study these guys if I have no internet?"

Cruz says the first thing he did after arriving in the city early this morning was arrange sit-down interviews with six of the athletes competing on UFC Fight Night 95's preliminary card. He compares each fight card to a college research report, and just like the ring craft which has befuddled his opponents for the past decade, Cruz says he hopes to help usher in a new level of preparation and sophistication required of color commentators at the highest levels of the sport.


"I've been fighting for 10 years and I've never once had any color commentator in my entire career sit down and ask me one question about me, personally, to my face," Cruz says. "I just feel like this is a position that, I'm not perfect, I'm not going to do it right every time probably. I'm going to have my mistakes, because I'm not a perfect individual. But I'm trying to do the best job I can, to get the most information I can from these athletes, because I felt that I was very misunderstood coming up in my career, with people trying to break down my style. Even the color commentators would just say weird and awkward, instead of asking me what I was doing face-to-face. They never even thought of that. They would just give their opinion on what they saw and that's it.

"But how are you supposed to break down what I'm doing if you have no clue what I'm doing? That mindset kind of carried over to where I said, I want to be able to break down what fighters are doing and see it from a different light, because I didn't get that."

Cruz is a revolutionary. Both in the cage and out of it
 
He should be working on finishing guys instead of interviewing prelim guys
 
Sounds like a decent approach, but when it comes to UFC play by play and color commentary, weed, HGH and cocaine have been working just fine for decades rather than research and preparation. Why fix what ain't broken?
 
That's sounds awesome, but lets hear Cruz's tune in 3 years.
 
I like him just thought it was unprofessional when he referred to team alpha male as "alpha fail" in a post fight show an unbiased commentator shouldn't do that.

Wait why the fuck does he have no internet? I didn't know Cruz was Brazilian...
