I love Torres…I learnt to love him by watching so many of his very entertaining high paced fights….I don’t need the announcers telling me every two second how much better he is than his competition…why the fuck are they fighting Mr. Announcers if he is that much better? Let him create his own marketability because after you talk the guy up the way you do and he does lose it makes him look bad even though he wasn’t the one talking himself up the way you were.

I don’t like Faber…I find his style annoying sorry nothing against the guy he is an amazing fighter…I don’t not watch his fights…I just usually am routing for the other guy (sorry faber lovers) but it is annoying when I see the other guy winning and the announcers are talking like he isn’t…it pisses me off, just like I’m sure Mizugaki fans’s weren’t happy with the way the torres fight was being called (I think Torres did win, but not in the fashioin the announcers made it seem)

I understand that announcers are fans too, and they will carry some sort of Bias with them…they will have a favorite fighter etc…but then be honest…don’t be Frank Mir and take a handfull of miguel’s balls and smear our faces in it….do as Rashad Evans did while co-announcing the Jardine vs Rampage fight…HE WAS HONEST…he told everyone who didn’t already know he was best friends with Jardine, they train together, eat turkey together…probably have threesomes together…so when he was being Bias I as a fan went…well obviously and he even said he was being Bias.

I don’t care if Joe Rogan says you know what….I love fighter a and fighter b never has thrilled me too much and I’d love to see fighter a win because it to me makes an exciting fight in the future with so and so….but tell me that instead of wiping fighters a’s balls in my face for 15 minutes without me knowing you have a “thing” for him.

The other thing I have often wondered…and I do wonder if it would even be legal or not, but somehow I can’t see it being that illegal…but rather than pay judges pay off announcers. Won’t make you win a fight, but sure will make you loads of money with your new found popularity if Joe Rogan is hanging on your nuts constantly or Frank Mir in the WEC want’s to have your children and put them on his mantle next to his blow up Brock arm.

Anywho’s in conclusion I feel that the announcers should take to their job the way a ref or a judge does…with no sway towards one fighter or another…although not quite as important as the ref and judge in terms of being unbias, they should call the fight the way it unfolds without preference and if they do want to hug a nut or two tell us before hand who you like and why you like them!

Makington:
I didn’t get around to watching the post fight interviews but I remember they were extremely respectful to eachother in the ring after the fight. Urijah manned up in the ring afterwards. Uness you’re talking about their second fight where Faber talked about his broken hand? I don’t remember him outright complaining about it though… I must be missing something here?

Not so much faber, but the announce team scrambled for the final few rounds making excuses on his behalf. Couldn’t have possibly been MTB was better that night.

And people repeated it like a bunch of droning parrots.

Tito is probably the biggest name that does it, and because of his name, personality, and history of injuries, the media know that he’s almost always going to say something that will stir the pot.

Joe Rogan – Tito, you fought hard but came up short what do you have to say?

Tito – Wah Wah I was Injured Joe, Wah Wah, my Back

Joe – But Tito, you were telling the world you were finally healthy, isn’t that why you called up the Fertita’s and cried your way back into the UFC behind Dana’s back?

Tito – But Joe, My back my aching back…did I mention I won…wah oh joe

Joe – Do you maybe think it was taking a year off to mispronounce Fedor’s name as Feadore, pretending to be a mini trump business man rather than training that made you totally gas out in the third round and cost you a victory?

Tito – I won Joe, oh dear god my back…my aching Back, but don’t worry next fight i’ll be at 100 percent for the first time since my last victory….when I just so happened to be at 100 percent

Joe – Well with any luck the Fertita’s will see that Dana was right all along on this, that you were worthless, only 65% of the tickets for this event sold, and that people have caught on to your bullshit, they only tuned in to see you lose, and well…now that you always lose it isn’t that interesting to see anymore, and they will cut you.

Tito – Maybe i’ll get ontop of my wife tonight

Joe – I thought your back was hurt

Tito – Its at 100% now, the first time in years, come and watch me screw Jenna, its the only thing people might pay to see me in

A few examples of injuries and how to handle them with class:
When was the last time you heard Randy complain about an injury (and at 46, you know he’s got to have a few).
GSP ripping his adductor against Alves, then going on and completely dominating.
Faber breaking BOTH hands against Brown, and still continuing on to put up a good fight.
