I can't stand listening to Rogan and Goldberg. I miss Bas and Ronallo.

All of us watching the fight said the same thing. Towards the end we starting making it into a drinking game--take a shot every time he says 'elusive'.

I like Joe but he could have benefited from a thesaurus.

Yeah, I liked it better when ke?po was the announcer.

They try to sell the fights a bit too much, but hey its what you gotta do. I think they were just slightly dumbfounded in the Machida fight, hence saying he's elusive 20 times. Fights pretty much speak for themselves, they really don't need to say much. They need Jim Ross.

We all started mocking Joe when he mentioned Tito's awsome jiu jitsu game (which he has done in every Tito fight he has ever announced.) Needless to say, we shut up fast when Ortiz went for that armbar. He is still better than that boxing guy, the Colonel, that Bodog hired.

Guy in top guard is throwing pitty pat hammerfists at bottom guy.

The Colonel: "And there he goes, BLASTING AWAY with those punches! The other guy can't take much more of those BOMBS!"

The Colonel was a boxer? I thought they had just kidnapped whatever wino they found passed out in an alley behind Bodog Corp. at put in front of camera.

Not a boxer, a former boxing announcer. All I know was that he loved to combine the words "blasting" and "away", on any kind of strike that landed or came within 4 inches of landing. He did this more often than Bas Rutten mentions the liver.

Mike Goldberg: "He's like the Michael Jordan of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!"

Joe Rogan: "No, he's not"

Mike Goldberg: "Larry Bird?"

Joe Rogan: "Uhm, no."

Mike Goldberg: "Kobe Bryant?"

Joe Rogan: "..."

Classic.
