"Lets go Gerald, fight back." - Mark Smith, 50 seconds into the fight.

Like I said, agree to disagree.

You're absolutely right about Muradov's tank though. I'm noticing on the re-watch his arms are completely dead at the very end of the round. Muradov wins that fight if he takes better advantage of having Meerschaert hurt but he refused to engage him on the ground out of respect for his grappling. Didn't work in his favor as he got subbed anyway. 

I don't see Silva being as respectful.

Not an easy fight to pick, Silva took a round off Pereira on the feet but lost the first two rounds to Andrew Sanchez before getting the finish.

The ufc needs to do more of those Face-to-face videos with the fighters sitting across from eachother, really has me even more hyped for the fight and this was already a fight that I’ve been anticipating for a while now.

DC and Rogan are good at bringing the energy, They talk a lot of ****, And don't prepare,  I don't like how Rogan and DC often say stuff that not happening, Like Izzy putting on a masterclass against Jan for example, That my problem with them, But I think fans who don't know what going on, won't notice and  just like the energy

Paul Felder is my favourte, I think he still has a personalty, But doesn't chat much **** compare to other one, Also he has to work hard, Rogan and DC will alway have jobs

Yeah idk why Cruz gets so much hate on commentary, he can be a bit dull but I’d rather have no jokes and good commentary than bisping and dc giving bad commentary and trying and failing to be funny.
In my opinion Cruz, felder and anik are the dream team.

My favorite commentary group is DC, Felder and Anik. Cruz is always on something that doesn’t make sense and Bisping is actually pretty good but he doesn’t have the chops that DC and Felder have imo

I don’t really understand why people hate on DC so much. Rogan I get it, I don’t like his commentary either but DC is about as good as you can get. He loves his job too. He’s gotten caught up in biased situations 2 times. Jan vs Izzy and Moreno vs Figgy 3. Other than those 2 fights I think DC is great

Cruz is just very dull and tries to give a literal running commentary on his own for 15/25 minutes. Bisping definitely has a brain injury.  DC is like your favourite uncle, can't really hate him, Felder is probably the best for me

DC is eager to take any chance to talk about anything except the match in front of him and he doesn't keep his focus on a match throughout. You can see him turning to look at his fellow commentators fairly often so he often misses crucial moments and is clueless as to which fighter won a round. That doesn't stop him from deciding on which fighter won the round however and announcing it to the viewers. It doesn't help that he has a very vague understanding of the scoring criteria.
Maybe that's why people don't like DC as a commentator?
His wrestling breakdowns is obviously top quality.
