Who should Paramount/CBS use as fighter analysts?

[JakePaulMMA]

That's turrible.

But I love it!

The 4 of them can do the after show and call it "Inside the MMA"

 

[richardjohnson]

As long as that Gianni the creep guy isn’t involved I’ll be happy.

 

[560ti]

Yup. Cannot stand DC & Chael because they just love to hear themselves speak.

Agreed. DC, Chael, Cruz and sometimes Bisping are usually unbearable. Everything from talking over everyone to loving the sound of their own voice.

People like Sanko, Anik, and Felder are usually more calm and clearly do there homework behind the scenes but come off as stiff, boring, and corporate. Having just the 3 of them doing a stacked numbered event would create zero energy or hype (a can of tuna would have more personality).

Usually there's either a balance or someone in between but they don't have either right now (Felders the closest to being in-between).

With the ESPN deal coming to a close, Paramount has a chance to bring in whomever they want to talk about fights and provide insight before, during, and after fights.

Who are you keeping from the ESPN era and who would you like to see if you could pick anyone?


DC, Din Thomas, Cruz, Felder, Bisping, Sonnen, Anthony Smith, Melendez, Rashad, Usman, Jouban.

The you have the non fighters... Sanko, Olivi, Karyn Bryant, Fitzgerald.

Frank Mir was the best, when he used to do commentary for WEC.

 

[jeskola]

Get rid of DC and Din Thomas for sure.

Get Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, and Josh Barnett

 

[markantony20]

I feel like Volk would make a good analyst.

Cory Sandhagen is a very technically knowledgeable fighter.

 

[MikeSTL]

Derrick Lewis

 

[Guy LeDouche]

TJ DILLASHAW and it ain't even close.
Watch him on the Jaxxon Podcast and try to change my mind


Sanko has 1 pro and 5 amateur fights

Nah I’d rather look at Sanko say something dumb than hear TJ’s snake ass say anything worthwhile

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Yall motherfuckers acting like Gus Johnson won't be there from day 1

 

[Benoitthegr8]

I’m looking forward to seeing the production and commentary change, the question is whether it will be positive or assclownery overdrive.

 

[Egészségére!]

Don’t know much about who’s where, but I like Dan Hardy’s commentary

Him, Sanka & Bas would be a killer trio

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I like it to be sherdoggers, different ones per event.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Mike Goldberg, Joe Rogan, and Tank Abbott

 

[High Test With da Best]

Yall motherfuckers acting like Gus Johnson won't be there from day 1

"Sometimes these things happen in MMA!"

In fairness he was put in an odd position, not knowing the sport, and witnessed an extremely rare and probably stressful brawl while commentating.

 

[skylolow]

My guess is it ain't changing much as my understanding is the UFC has always had more or less control of the production of the UFC events.

 

[humdizzle]

wouldn't be my pick but i have a hunch they might go with bryan campbell from morning kombat

he just left morning kombat last week

ufc/paramount want someone that will say what they are told to say... and not deviate or have a soap box.

 

[milliniar]

Frank Mir was the best, when he used to do commentary for WEC.

Unless Miguel Torres was fighting then he would never stop talking about his GOAT

 

[froggyluv]

Without question these 2. Bringing grace, class, both witty and biting observations - simply the Gold Standard

 

[FreedomCricket]

I'm sure yall will bitch non stop regardless of who is in these roles.

But I wouldn't be so sure Paramount has any say in who the UFC uses for analysis. Unless Paramount is creating a new show or something on their dime.
