Jimmy Smith on popularity since UFC debut, picks dream fighter to commentate, previews UFC 222

[Thickfreakness]

Starts at 20:15 (should play from there).

He says his popularity since UFC debut is "like waking up a hot woman one day", he's not doing anything different, but now people are reacting better. Picks his dream UFC fighter to commentate (spoiler: they're on this weekend's UFC card), says him and Rogan will work together, and previews UFC 222. Also talks McGregor-Edgar story.

So UFC and Bellator did a transfer between Goldie and this guy.



When Goldie left the UFC his last words were "AND IT'S ALL OVER!!!!"

They’ll be fantastic together. Both passionate about the sport and super knowledgeable.

Explain the 'jesus'?

it would be a fucking mess

I don't see it. Smith is quite reserved actually, and then Rogan isn't really. A nice balance. They're friends, have a good camaraderie. Both work well with Anik (assuming he's the play by play.) I don't see why you think it'd be a mess...

Never was a huge fan of smith in bellator and would honestly say bellator has the better commentary team now with chael, mccarthy and goldie.

i think we have should have a mexican stand-off and trade commentators like they did spies during the cold war, but then break the deal and keep Jimmy once we got Goldie back. Then we'll have all the marbles! Muahahaha!!!

I understand this feel. It's a gift and a curse.

The UFC's commentary booth's ultimate form.

Different job to be fair, but I agree.
