It was just a stand up fight and they didn't like the idea of knees to the head which I think is what made him lose that fight. thats the only fight that I know of that he has lost that has been put on the internet. also Sean actually fought in UFC once or twice and ended up losing the bout/bouts.

In the "professional sphere" he only fought a 50 year old and a guy who is widely suspected of taking a dive. Let's get real and give this guy some real competition.

Just so you know people, Sam isn't saying EliteXC should have some guy dressing in Roman gear and then have operatic music in the background. He's simply saying there is a better way of building up a fight during the broadcast and that the UFC is an example of this. Throwing in a few comments from MMA legends like Bas Rutten into the mix as well could help as well. On a side note, it seems Dana White isn't closing the door on Kimbo as he was a bit more respectful to Kimbo's dedication in the UFC 78 teleconference Nice write up.

I think there are many smart fans that boo for the right reasons (boring fights, bad decisions) and fans have every right to boo. Its the fan participation is often what creates special moments in sporting events. The politness of Japanese fans is boring and their ohh and ahhs over ground fighting is so overrated.

I think Randy is awesome when he projects his voice and makes himself clear. As for Mir, he did an outstanding job at the last WEC. I was really surprised at his flow and explanation of the fight. A little over the top at times (WEC has the best fighers!!!!!!!!) but that’s being far too picky I think. A little off topic but next time you see him hold that mic check out his knuckles as they looked like they had small under the skin. He's going to have serious problems when he gets older it would seem. I assume its some form of arthritis?

Now that Randy isn't with the UFC, would he be able to contract out his abilities to EliteXC or another promotion as a commentator? Or did his contract include that as well? Frank Mir was originally another bad one, I haven't heard him since he started doing WEC. HFC had Pat Militech do a show a while ago, he was wicked too.

I think he needs Q-Cards or some other form of prepared statements to really shine. Left alone you get too many "I think this fight is great!" Gabber
