Jim Ross makes his MMA Debut

This time last year, Stone Cold Steve Austin was telling Ariel Helwani that UFC should hire legendary WWE play-by-play man Jim Ross. Today, that request gets one step closer to becoming a reality: Good Ol’ J.R. is set to make his MMA play-by-play debut at the upcoming Battleground MMA pay-per-view alongside … oh God, Chael Sonnen?
From MMA News:

The WWE Hall Of Fame announcer “Good Ole’ JR” will team up with “The Gangster from West Linn, Oregon” Chael Sonnen for the event that is scheduled to take place in JR’s home-state of Oklahoma on October 3rd.
Ross and Sonnen will handle the play-by-play duties for the event, which features Ryan Couture (8-3), son of UFC legend Randy Couture, challenging Jonny “King of Late Night” Carson (11-6) in the main event.
Also scheduled for the event is an exciting eight-man tournament in the Welterweight division, one that is filled with former UFC and Strikeforce veterans. The tourney consists of Dennis Hallman (53-15-2), Brock Larson (37-8), Roan Carneiro (17-9), Luigi Fioravanti (24-11), Cody McKenzie (15-4), David Mitchell (14-4), Trey Houston (10-2) and Chris Honeycutt (4-0).

I’d spend three hours listening to Jim Ross and Chael Sonnen talk about what they had for breakfast, so we’ll consider the fighting a bonus.

"Bah Gawd What a Superman Punch! How is he even able to stand?!?!"

BAH GAWD HE BROKE HIM!

Hey, maybe I'll watch this event now

Will watch him do anything except call Football.

Chael Sonnen will make Jim Ross his bitch.

Lazy Question: Anyone know where I can find this event?

prolly mmashare

i didnt watch it but heard Sonnen and Ross did well. Chael is obv a natural and should be commentating somewhere really soon. The only criticism ive heard was that he was over explaining everything when the people who watched were hardcore fans. People also said JR focused more on the history and home lives of the fighters and left the technical ish to Chael.
