    I don't mind UFC commentary that much. I try to judge commentary based on them saying things that provide insight and maybe add interest or make the broadcast more entertaining.

    I mostly tune out a lot of the commentary but for me a commentator just has to be really bad for me to notice. A horrible speaking voice, no real insight of any kind, or saying things that are not accurate

    I feel that Rogan adds interest and excitement with knowledge sprinkled in, I think all the ex fighters are pretty good in their own way and dont feel distracted by the fight callers.

    I've always been a fan of Cruz's trash talk and his interpretive dancing in the octagon, but his commentary during the Khabib vs. McGregor fight elevates him to a whole new strata for me. When the Dagestani Weeaboos heard him drop that ground-and-pound line, it almost made Conor's diatribe during the lead-up to the fight seem not so bad by comparison.

    As silly as it was, I would still rather hear that than the other commentators enthusiastically dropping "FIGHTER A IS CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A CUSTODY BATTLE AND HASN'T SEEN HIS KIDS IN 3 YEARS" during a fight like they often do.
