How they couldn't see that coming is beyond me.

Rogan has ranted a few times during a PPV about how the boxing scoring system just doesn't work for MMA, but it's been a while. I wish he'd keep it up so that the fans who don't know any better can start pressuring the athletic commissions to wake the fuck up.

He has probably been told not to say stuff like that anymore, however true it may be.

Too bad they haven't told him to stop using phrases like: "that cut looks like a goat's vagina." Between the Goldberg and Rogan commentary, I have to play a game of scrabble after every UFC event to feel like I haven't lost all of my social intelligence. Seriously though, Rogan has grown on me. Goldberg is still a moron.

Bring on the Bas IMO.

More seriouslyer, was looking at Sherdog's stupid rankings in the 170 division and it got me wondering. What should they do with Koscheck? Some idiots seem to think getting a beating at the hands of GSP, then beating 2 gatekeeper types means he's entitled to the next title shot. I'm thinking the obvious thing to do would be an eliminator type bout against the winner of Sanchez/Alvez.

Speaking of Alvez, seems his fellow fighters are thinking he's juicing.

And Koscheck said he agreed pretty much. And after looking at the dude when he fought Hughes I was thinking the same thing. And he did test positive for something last year, though not really da joose.

I wouldn't lose any sleep if that car got hit by a bus while they were filming that. I think Koscheck pisses me off even more than Bisping does.

That's why I love Mauro. He says plenty of stupid shit, but he has a big enough vocabulary so its not the same stupid shit over and over and over.

As I have stated before, I fucking hate Goldberg. How he is still around just baffles me. I really don't mind Rogan though, I think his enthusiasm is good for an announcer. Oh that reminds me, did anyone else think he looked stoned out of his mind at UFC 88? Maybe now that Randy is back he will start announcing again. I liked him in there.

Grimmlokk · 09-12-2008, 04:08 PM

Rogan has never really bugged me like he does some people. Goldberg can catch on fire and fall down some steps. I think they just keep them together because they figure, "why fix what ain't broke?". They've managed to make it to their current level with them together, so why mess with success?

I'd be curious to see a list of who people would want to replace him. Rogan is the technical guy in there. And really, he's pretty much the color guy too since he's the one with funny stories and actual opinions beyond the company line. All Goldy does is set him up, usually poorly and awkwardly.

Don't think someone like Bas would work. Really don't need 2 technical guys who are really excitable and have large personalities. Mauro would probably work pretty well. Who else? Glazer?

I do have to say that some people in the MMA community really put out a shitload of internet humor/animated gif shit. I would not have pegged that community as being oriented towards that, even a small bit. It is impressive.

Grimmlokk · 09-12-2008, 05:35 PM

The best.

I don't understand how that is possible. There is pretty clear evidence that it was a serious eye injury. Even Mazagatti said he made the wrong call. Pretty shitty.
