I disagreed with almost everything he said. The strength and size advantage of Barao was the difference? It clearly was the cardio. After the second round Michael said he was 'a little tired'. When a fighter says that, you know he's exhausted. Anik himself said MM's output has noticeably declined after. He was way too tired to stop the of fence of renan let alone land haymakers of his own.
Florian praised McDonald on his TDD defence while he was being taken down. McDonald is a great fighter but Barao was better and Florian sold him way short
Old Thrashbarg - I am surprised that I find myself disagreeing with so much of what Kenny says. He's a smart guy with a ridiculous amount of experience. But I just think he's wrong a lot of the time.
It doesn't help that he has to work with Annik. Those two are not exactly an all-star duo.
I agree 100%. I like Kenny, but I have to be honest and he absolutely gets a whole bunch of things wrong. LOL at "Michael may have saved himself there by moving his arm......." Michael taps 2 secs later. Rogan is not perfect, no one is, but Kenny is just so wrong and bland as well. I'm doing my best to try and like him in this gig, but it's getting impossible.
At first I had trouble telling the two voices apart, but now it's easy.
Othello - I can barely tell the difference between Florian's and Anik's voices. How the fuck did these 2 ever get paired together???
Thiiiiiis.
Kenny is so bad that even my girlfriend was correctly disagreeing with him out loud. Kenny's powers of observation are shockingly bad considering he was a high-level fighter at one point, I feel like he's just throwing the first thing that comes to mind out there and hoping it makes sense.
And.. Don't even get me started with Anik. The guy should never attempt to input his opinion when it comes to the actual techniques going on, he totally misses the boat.
Dana should just offer Jimmy Smith 4 times whatever Bellator pays him and stick him with Anik, but only let Anik talk when it's related to Corn Nuts or plugging the new Dwayne Johnson movie.

Exactly! It's like he is stressing out that he needs to fill the silence with relevant MMA insights, so he takes a stab at saying something, hoping it makes sense or is true. More often than not...it's BS. I really hope he learns to get better or get someone else on there. If its a fighter, Bonnar, or better yet mir. It's not like he has a chance at gold anymore.
Old Thrashbarg - I think it was during the Riddle Mills fight, Riddle had his back and was working for an RNC. He had one arm under Che's chin, and Che was controlling Riddle's other arm. That is when Kenny, in a very confused tone, said "Matt has the choke available but for some reason he's stalling! I'm not sure why he's stalling right now!"
Meanwhile, che mills was defending perfectly by only giving riddle one arm for the choke. There was no stalling, Kenny; Riddle only had one arm.
I literally was thinking that to myself! Doesn't he use the TV? It's not like he is seeing anything different than us, if he looks at his monitor.
I'm sure all the fucktards ragging on Kenny would do a better job.

You've got to be kidding me.
Do you criticize the people that run your country? Do you criticize your boss' decisions at work?
Does that mean you think you could do a better job? No. It means you are offering critique, as a fan or otherwise. There's nothing wrong with that.
In that vein, you don't need to be better than someone to offer a negative opinion of his work.
Kenny had a really bad night. Worst ever maybe. Not just in accuracy, but his bias rivaled Hogan's. In one of the fights, one fighter had an under hook and all he kept mentioning was the other fighter's wrist control. lol@wrist control.

Or how Jimmo had done well to secure both overhooks while TeHuna had both underhooks while pushing him up against the cage???
Kenny was a great fighter, but he can't let go. Always talking about what he did or how he went up against someone.
He'll get better I think though, but he needs to stop talking just for the sake of it. And please stop with the Blue steel look all the time!
You guys are to critical, I believe he makes an attempt to point out the subtleties that are easy for most fans to miss but by doing so he overlooks some pretty obvious shit. His tone is dry though but I enjoy his insight.
Florian is bad? So he fits right in with all of the other UFC commentators.
Ya, florian is pretty obnoxious.

Agreed. Trying to figure out who you're listening to atm, during a fight is weird.
explodin - If Rogan said the exact same things no one would be complaining... I've hired girls off Craigslist to give us all bj's at our UFC parties and even they've asked "why does this announcer pretend like every submission attempt is close to finishing the fight when its not even close?"
Can I come over for the next card?

Rogan/Goodie all night, all day. Progidy!
