Why didn’t it work out for Jimmy Smith?

[Marko Polo]

One minute he was here and the next he was gone. I thought he wasn’t bad. He was only going to get better as he became more comfortable too

 

[13Seconds]

DC and Anik are holding their own though

 

[jm5000]

They wanted all their color commentators to be current or former ufc fighters is what i heard

 

[theincognito]

Because he sucked.

 

[Dick]

Because he sucked.

Better than Cruz.

 

[PizzaandBeer]

Cuz he’s bald, they already have 2 other bald commentators

 

[Okajima]

Better than Cruz.

By far. Cruz is abysmal.

 

[Fiddlesticks]

It was because the UFC wanted their broadcast team recognizable to the casual audience. Newcomers wouldn't know who Jimmy Smith is. Luke Thomas did a good job explaining it here:


Jimmy Smith did this interview with Luke Thomas to discuss the departure:

 

[TheSpider]

They used him to get him out of Bellator. Jimmy screwed Jimmy

 

[Marko Polo]

By far. Cruz is abysmal.

I don’t mind Cruz. Then again I am slightly biased because he’s one of my favourite fighters of all time. You just have to accept that he’s a bit arrogant, but what he offers is a level of insight and breakdown that no one else does.

There's only room for one Rogan basically

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

Better than Cruz.

Alcohol and Cigarettes might be impairing your Judgment if you ask Cruz lol.

[Dbreiden83080]

He landed on his feet again with a show on Sirius..

 

[Memeojima]

He criticized that one ref iirc

 

[It's-Only-Business]

he's ok, but i can see why the ufc would want someone else. rogan snaked him. he was always jealout of jimmy for having laced them up.

 

[theincognito]

Better than Cruz.

Cruz is pretty good at breaking stuff down but doesn't have the voice for it.

 

[beef-fire]

He was basically a worse version of Rogan.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Joquian getting heated. Krause vs Buckley. Let's do it.
