I’d get loads and loads of people push back and say that Cruz is terrible bc of Mcgregor Khabib fight and therefore bc of his commentary in that fight , that means he will never be better then a guy like Bisping …. Even tho Bisping constantly says stuff worse then what Cruz did in that fight imo. I just think people (mostly casuals) don’t like Cruz’s attitude and more importantly don’t want to listen to someone talk about technical aspects of the fight, bc they are comfortable being casuals and feel uncomfortable when technical stuff is the focus of the commentary…..

This is your most accurate tier list so far

Guru you need to make some updates on your tier list videos. I feel like your list of KZread mma creators would be real different, especially as half the shows don’t even exist anymore

How things between Guru and Hardy went downhill from here

Bisping has gotten a little too confident in his commentary. I think he started to realize people loved his casual talk, so he amped it up but it back fired. Also, he low key bullies Brendan when commentating along side him.

Let’s be real Joe Rogan treats his ufc commentary job as front row seats to the best entertainment on earth, he has more of an opinion on NFTs, Crypto and AI than he does current MMA, but you can’t really blame him at this point if those are the things making you money but if you’re a professional fight commentator at least use some of that 100 million to watch some of the fights and fighter interviews.

I have to agree on what he said about Joe Rogan. I mean look at the Masvidal vs Askren knockout. He was just sitting here still and screaming "oh, out cold". Definitely one of the worst commentators this year

One thing that drives me crazy is whenever there’s even the slightest submission attempt even if you know there’s absolutely no threat they freak out the second they see the submission attempt lol. They’ll be like, OMG their in so much trouble. They’re in a really bad spot. This looks bad. They’re in real danger lol. And the submission attempt lasted 1 second 🤣

Currently after the Hardy incident the best is Paul Felder. I think Paul is very relatable and comes from a point of not being champ but loves the sport. I don't think Fitz or John really belong on this list cause they are basically ad readers who are told to step in rarely.

They have fighter meetings and they ask what background stuff the fighters want included in their pre-fight build ups. What is he gonna do, tell the fighter his story about custody battles sucks?

Brilliant analysis again guru 👏

I used to listen to Baseball and Football (U.S.) so I feel almost spoiled by how good the play-by-play is and the speed at which those professionals convey info. I can't listen to MMA with commentary at all at this point

I like the representation of the lower knowledge audience when brendan is on. Its nice. Its also nice to have stuff explained by pros. Really nice.

Guru to do alternative commentary on the UK card surely

Joe has went down hill with his quality... but dc should defo be below him, dc is awful

DC is for sure lower than B brether. He is just charismatic and talking about nonsense 80% of the time with a lot of energy while fights are going on in the background. And yeah outside of calling out straight wrestling shit he can definitely not cover everything that is going on with grappling.

No arguments here. You nailed this.

Also on Felder commentating Shamil vs Daukaus. Theres a point were Chris and Shamil get heated in the cage and Felder says "I'm a philly boy I'll jump in if I have to" referring to Shamils corner

I think Hardy has some of the best reactions as well, his recent “ Wow! What a knockout by Dom Wooding!!” Stood out to me

When jon anik said " francis ngannou has arrived " I liked that one

Dude you do the best Jon Anik impersonation

I always liked Dan Hardy at the desk, and I felt like there was a bit of a Goldie/Rogan dynamic between Hardy and Gooden that made Gooden more tolerable

Hardy is great. Spot on there. Dom is too robotic and can be annoying but he's also brilliant. B is correct. Rogan is D tier now. Him and Goldie were amazing from about 2007-2015 but now he's straight up annoying and uninformed. At one point, I thought Joe was the best sports commentator of all American sports.

In other sports you have 1 of each so if the color guy is going off randomly the other can reel him back. But when you get 2 color guys they can just keep a stupid conversation or line of thought going way too long and the 3rd guy can't do anything about it. I don't know who decided this should be the way they do things or why but it doesn't work. 1 color guy, 1 play by play guy. Its a time tested formula.
