Would You Want to Hear Jim Ross in UFC?
From J.R.'s blog:
"The UFC upper mgmt people know that I have an interest in their product and I think that my style would fit what they do quite well especially when they begin expanding their roster of broadcasters." I'm so used to the sound of Rogan and Goldberg. Would you guys want to hear a three man booth or maybe even just have J.R. on play by play and Rogan on color? |

Honestly I think it'd be pretty cool, but I can't see it happening.

It would definitely be weird hearing about slobberknockers in the UFC.

I think he'd do fine once he gains a bit of knowledge. You'll have dickhead MMA fans moan about it because of his pro wrestling background but fuck them.

He wouldn't do fine.. He knows prowrestling and has been around since the late 80's and he still sucked at that..
Horrible horrible idea.. |

Jim Ross is a thousand times the commentator Joey Styles is was or will ever be. Such a faggy ECW fanboy thing to say, though I guess I'm not surprised.

Styles has a knowledge of submission wrestling which is a much better asset than slobbering on a microphone..

He is horrible with dated cliches and stupid hillbilly terminology.. The reason UFC commentating is good is it's real.. Not that the sport is real bit their reaction to bad calls by the ref and whatnot.. JR has spent the better part of 20 years selling storlines not actually commentating..

i wouldn't want to see him in mma. i am guessing he doesn't have a scooby when it comes to the intricate parts of guard passing etc. i'm sure he'd be great when guy a was stood across from guy b punching him in the face, but during the slower parts he would be grim.

not a fan of goldberg to be honest. The guy sounds like he likes hearing his own voice sometimes.

Goldy is awesome.. He has the voice and is uber knowledgable.. I only gets bad when he ties to act "cool" which isn't often.. He plays off Rogan well..

It would be interesting to hear JR and King call ONE fight, but only one.

Commentators don't need a knowledge of anything, they need a command of the facts and a good memory for stats and winning runs and that kind of shit. The analysis and real knowledge is supplied by the co-commentator, in this case Joe Rogan or Randy Couture, that's the way it needs to be. Who gives a fuck if JR takes over, except that it will sound faintly ridiculous hearing a guy normally playing a character doing it straight? Mike Goldberg literally imparts fuck all insight to a UFC fight and is there to sound ethusiastic, shout "IT'S ALLLL OVER" and other cliched catchphrases.

Anyone who says Goldberg doesn't add actual play by play and analysis doesn't watch UFC..

No but you are obviously ignorant of he situation to throw out petty insults instead of adding to the discussion..
Bottom line is, you have to have a play by play guy for the color commentator to play off of.. Goldberg makes alot of good calls on anticipating what a fighter is setting up by what they are doing, etc.. He is on point on boxing knowledge and willing tells viewers what combos the corners are calling for.. His grappling knowledge has grow leaps and bounds over the past 7 years.. Anyone who argues that has not watched enough UFC to realize that or just plain out isnt knowledgable about the sport to see it.. But I guess you won't argue any of hose points do to the fact you'll prolly spent too much effort coming up with a quip about my intelligence or weight.. |

I also love that the reflex, even when you are attempting to discuss this properly, is to suggest that anyone who disagrees with you just doesn't know enough about the sport. Anyone who has watched ANY sport knows how it works. Goldberg is there because he can talk alot, sound enthusiastic and keep the commentary flowing on air. He blatantly does not offer any real insight into the fights, that is Joe Rogan's place, Goldberg is there to ask the sort of questions a novice who has never fought would ask. Any new commentator, it would be their job to know about stats, names of moves, winning runs, fighter histories. They would work on it. The real decision on whether a commentator works or not is how they sound on-screen and if they can fill the air. |
