UFC’s commentators are the World Champs at present. Team them up with Bas (for the liver shot analysis) and we have the dream team.

Who says he can do either?

When the talk was that Ranallo was announcing, I expressed a bit of surprise that Elite would let him do both. I suggested that he might be done with Elite.

Shaw had openly stated that he saw Affliction as a competitor.

My guess is that he was told he could not do both.

Big John is really good in the booth. I hope they use him for more than just periodic reports and interviews.

Honestly, they could have 2 Nigerian hermaphrodites calling this thing speaking in rhyme and riddle and I’d still get the PPV.

There can only be 1 Frank Mir.

I can’t fucking stand twinkletoes.

I’m not buying the PPV if he is commenting. Period.

I listen to Tagg on occaision, and I know Trigg is very good friends with Tom Attencio from Affliction. I know he really wanted on that broadcast team and was shocked when he originally wasn’t asked. i wonder if he pushed Mauro off in his bid to be included. I feel bad for Mauro, and although I am not a huge fan of his he is lightyears better than Jay Glazer. I would have liked to have seen Quadros on this broadcast team as well. oh well.

This team holds far more credibility than any team the UFC has assembled. Sounds like a good start.

Good news, Mauro is garbage and he made the CBS EliteXC broadcast almost unbearable.

No Mauro? I emailed Affliction asking them for explanation. How do u replace Mauro with Frank Trigg (the most boring commentator on the planet)?? I was really looking forward to hearing MMA’s “Human Encyclopedia” call the play by plays. I’m very disappointed.

“Affliction Banned,” the greatest MMA show of all-time…”

Give me a break man, if this is how they market the greatest MMA show of all-time, I’d hate to see what they do with a sub-par card.

I guess they are destined to be a one-off, if this is the greatest show of all-time, they’ll never be able to live up to it.
