    Nothing wrong with them.
    They discuss what people want to see and hear.
    If there's something wrong, it's the fighters/coaches that complain.
    It's their fault for not giving the fans what they want to know and see. :nono

    Joe Rogan couldn't carry Larry Merchant's mic. He's insightful and very knowledgable about MMA, but he has his favourite fighters and makes literally no effort to disguise it from the viewers. He has often shied away from "telling it like it is".

    Harold Lederman is by far my favorite on the team. Old Larry Merchant is the big brass balls of the crew.

    I don't like anyone on HBO except for RJJ. I like Showtime commentators more. Also I think UK commentators are the best.

    Nice. And it's always fun to wonder exactly how drunk Merchant is. The longer the card goes, the more those words slur.

    well if they ever do need a good commentator John"Ice"Scully is the man for that position. He is very well spoken, has alot of ring knowledge and a former fighter that is still active within the sport.

    Kellerman is a red diaper, doper baby!

    I used to like Lampley until I found out he was an abusive drunk with a penchant for underaged girls. He is also not nearly the wordsmith he or most everyone else finds him to be.

    Emmanjel Steward knows how the fight will go after the first 10 seconds! LOL

    Larry Merchant is Godly!

    Harold Lederman scors fights pretty well.


    All in all it could be worse...
