Yeah, I knew Rogan would be in there fishing for a retirement.

He might like a scoop but he must feel some empathy for the guy. He reversed it by saying you we're never going to tap out and showed the heart of beast. We know that he is past it!

[AdamM]

Rogan winds me right up.
You know when he's in there trying to retire a guy.

I would a happily see the back of Rogan and Goldie

In what is a lucrative position, who replaces him/them?

[AdamM]

Quite like Anik and Ken Flo
And although the anchor is shot for the uk commentary team, Dan Hardy had been great

Anik yes but I have my reservations about Kenny F. I think Dan Hardy is the mma equivalent to Gary Neville!

Weird isn't it, because I absolutely love Rogan, and think he is the absolute nuts as a commentator/host.

Definitely agree about Goldberg though, he's just there to remember that 'tonights clock is bought to you by Bud Light - the difference, is drinkability'

I tried hard with the UK MMA show, but found it very hard work, and was even getting annoyed by the girl

That said, Dan Hardy is very good, as you would expect.


Not sure that Hendo is totally past it, and think it might just be that Cormier is very special. Bit late for him to be top level, but he can still hang and bang imo.

What frustrates me about Goldberg, is you know when he's just reading his notes out. He rarely talks about the actual fight you're watching. Rogan sometimes gets drawn into that, but the main problems I have with Rogan is how biased he sometimes is, and also that buzz saw like scream he starts throwing out in striking exchanges.

Just heard Wanderla out, Vitor in for Chael July 5th.
Failed a drug test or something?

was looking forward to that fight, but if Chael can get through the Vitor/Cheez-its tag team, it bumps him up to #1 contender and a shot at the winner of Weidman/Machida, both of which are very winnable for him.

Chael P Sonnen as MW champ early 2015?
Could it happen?

[AdamM]

which in turn sets up Anderson v Chael III for summer 2015

[scotty2hatty]

Think Chael would lose relatively comfortably to both Weidman and Machida though.

[AdamM]

Not sure personally.
Still not made up my mind about Weidman. I was enjoying watching him fight before the two Silva fights, but am still not convinced he's anywhere near Anderson's standard. He was getting outclassed in the first till he caught him, and the leg thing in the 2nd fight cut short the belt going back to its rightful owner.

I think Chael will be facing Machida anyway. machida to take Weidman on points or late stoppage.

I do think Chael would struggle more against Machida than Weidman.

Haha, I just think Goldberg is gash, and I can't say I've really noticed that Joe is too biased. I know what you mean about the shrieking, but I think he just gets too excited

[Marky147]

WP Wanderlei, but funny that they swap one juicer for another, and give us the battle of TRT

Chael is probably my favourite fighter ever, so I'd love for him to win a belt at his age. Unfortunately I can't see him getting through Belfort, so it won't matter.

Time will tell with Weidman, but it wouldn't be good if Mahida beat Weidman, because he won't fight Anderson!

[GreekStein]

i love rogan and goldberg duo.

wouldn't be right to hear main event commentary that's not their voices.
