Firstly i want to start off by saying that i actually like Dominick Cruz and Joe Rogan commentating but together it just doesn't work for me. It seems to me like they just don't have good chemistry together. I was actually curious to see how it would go this time and if things would improve but they clearly clash with each other, over and over and it just doesn't work. It comes across to me like Dominick Cruz is obviously way more knowledgeable about the sport than Joe Rogan, which kinda sets Joe off balance not allowing him to be comfortable and let his commentating style flow.

Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan is just overall the much better combo. Joe's fun side flows way better with Daniel, he is not threatened and they are both generally on the same page making it more enjoyable to listen.

So yeah sorry Dom but for me it doesn't work...

Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik is the way to go.

Let Dom do the fight nights. Dom could also work on backing off some. Dom is to underhooks as Rogan is to leg kicks.
 
Dominic Cruz has that "You are talking, but you have never actually been there, so you can't really say that" attitude towards Joe Rogan, and he is correct. Because, Joe Rogan can spend 25 minutes sucking off one fighter, and then get caught off guard when that fighter gets KO'd. LOL

Joe Rogan has poor balance. The reward systems in his brain are wired to seek pleasure, so the fighter who excites him the most, will get all his attention, and his commentary may not be accurately reflecting what is going on in the fight.

He needs somebody like Dominic Cruz to keep him honest. However, Dominic Cruz is a nonsense "I disagree, and I am going to tell you that I disagree without sugar coating it" type of person. North Americans don't like this. North Americans prefer agreeableness.

I don't think Cruz is " way more knowledgeable than Rogan"...

In fact I think Joe knows more about the plethora of disciplines than Dom
.Im sure Dom knows more about specific disciplines.

I agree. You could have two men with a female lending a hand and contributing in ways that the men might not be able to. But usually 3 men is better.
 
Cruz is a very sarcastic person and talks down to everyone. He is just waiting for any little error by Rogan so he can correct him and be sarcastic. I don't like his commentary at all. Very unlikable person.

Paul Felder on the other hand is awesome, I really like Felder on commentary, he has a good clear voice and makes a lot of good observations. I want him to do it more. I rate him highly as a commentator.

I find Cruz far more knowledgeable than Rogan when watching. It's MMA. He's been there. He is able to analyse what the fighters are doing in a way Rogan can't. Rogan is good for the casual with his enthusiasm but for pure MMA analysis Cruz blows Joe out of the water.
 
It's funny when Cruz provides an antidote to Rogan's meat head logic.

<30>OMG look how strong Holly is to do that to Cyborg in the clinch.

<{cruzshake}>It's not strength it's good technique.


<30>OMG look at those leg kicks!

Cruz make Rogan look like the dummy that he is.
 
Cruz is a good commentator, but the dude needs the chill out about the underhooks.

Also if him and Rogan can't get along, they can just keep Cruz on fight night cards.
 
I think Cruz might be a bit on the spectrum. Sure he was a great fighter but he has all of the charisma and inter-personal skills of a beached jelly fish.

Not at all. We just don't like disagreeablness just for the sake of being disagreeable .

Just like Goldie, its a fad to shit on Rogan until he's gone then suddenly we all miss him. Rogan is fine and extremely knowledgeable. Cruz is just waiting for any little excise to be disagreeable and it's distracting and unprofessional

Cruz proved to be very combative, almost antagonistic. I'm not looking to watch a pissing contest between him and Joe. Rogan is an established, awesome commentator to me. Cruz has a very good analytical mind for the sport and is articulate. But that doesn't mean it's a good pairing. If Cruz is going to maintain that type of one-upmanship like mentality, then they should keep him on the Bryant post-shows where he and Bisping going back and forth is at least entertaining.

As it stood, he and Joe were distracting last night at times. And Anik is not bad but he is so nondescript that he just fades into the broadcast and you barely notice him. Goldie stood out at least and made an impact with the catchphases and the enthusiasm.

Rogan/Goldie was the GOAT and while guys like DC and Cruz are very solid, I miss the Goldberg/Rogan pairing.
