    Does anyone else find thar Australian Commentator extremely annoying? It's like he has a book of witty (shitty?) comparisons at the desk.

    The HDNet preliminary broadcast was the only tolerable part of the entire card.

    Mauro Ranallo is the biggest ****ing **** shill in all of combat sports commentary, and the rest of the Showtime goons aren't great either. (Gus Johnson should stick to boxing, which he's more knowledgeable about...and with all due respect to Frank he should be seen and not heard).

    It's all in good fun. Why hate on the guy for loving his job and being himself, and not being a fake plastic shill with a puppeteer's hand up his ass like Ranallo?

    That's how he rolls.

    I found it annoying at first, but I find it hilarious over time. I would love it if Mark the Hammer Kastinidis joined him though.

    Together, to use a Canadian analogy for you - The Hammer is a bit like Ricky TPB to Shivello's Julian.

    Also - That's a mouth watering bud in the avatar, love your work.

    Ranallo gets on my nerves. He was ready to ***** a fit about the ref stopping the Griggs-Overeem fight but a ****ing blind man could see Overeem tapping.

    i thought it was bas and the aussie. he kinda sounds like hes doing an infomercial, or hes gonna talk about a crocodile. and the overeem thing was funny. who taps from getting punched like that. i agree with whichever guy said he has no heart. imagine couture tapping like that? even if he was 80?

    Cannot stand him. Schivallo likes the sound of his own voice. He's horrendous to listen to. I always put shows he commentates on on mute.

    Ranallo is so appalling I find him endlessly entertaining.

    Jim Grey and Gus Johnson on the other hand....
