Mike’s commentary on ONE is flawless. So professional. Pronounces every name correctly. Rattles off facts, understands all the disciplines and makes it exciting as fuck.
I know some people used to find the silly taglines annoying but seems he has taken that on board and mitigated a lot of the joking around.
I don’t know if he is palletable to the US being an Aussie but he straight up makes DC and the ufc panel sounds like stuttering bumbling fools. Would love to see him do a UFC card
I should have worded the title better- outside of boxing. In reality boxing has some great seasoned commentators.
This is more in relation to mma and all the kickboxing variants
Sure is a hell of a lot better than John “in UFC history” Anik
Agreed. He does the promotional shit when required but does it seemlessly. It’s not as forced and cheesy as Anik
He’s up there with Mauro for sure
i agree.
Always wanted him in the UFC but he is perfect where he is now
I like Mauro for the nostalgia factor but he can be a bit goofy and annoying
That’s just his disorder
Schiavello actually commentates the fight. Everyone on the UFC commentating team does a podcast. They barely speak about the fight unless something big happens.
He’s like one of the longest active commentator right now, the accent is a plus
The best!
Tony schiavone?
Him and Mark the Hammer were quite the team on fox sports kickboxing.
for example [mental fight]
They were great bro. The hammer kastanini
Side note speaking of similar mental fights Ozkahn vs Ian jacobs always comes to mind
Probably the biggest kickboxing war to go down in Australian history
I met Ian a few times after he was retired. Lovely guy
Thank you
