Seriously, I had the same exact thought. If you're the commentator, you can't be speechless.

agreed...although him not calling fedor on real holes during the first round pissed me off. but he more than made up for it during the second round describing what Silva was doing with his choke (still can't believe fedor got out of it).
Those other 2 just shouldn't be there at all...ever...
btw who is the guy punching himself, over and over and over and over and over etc lol :P
josh neer is the guy who punches him self.... and they all suck at commentating
only thing that bugs me about frank are those dam braces...hello your dam near 50..time to take them out
i don't have a problem with frank shamrock....but that Gus Johnson guy was saying some really stupid stuff at the end of the fights to the fighters.....ridiculous questions like he said something like "did you think you were going to have a problem with that submission once you got him on the ground" i think to igor gracie and it just sounded weird...but what he was saying to fedor was horrible...they were just comments and no questions and he passed the mic to the translator. whatever. plus, it's not just the camera work that's horrible with strikeforce its the sound transition...everytime they announce the winner of the fight it's inaudible and cuts in and out before it becomes clear.
Strikeforce is always going to be considered a second rate promotion until they get the basics right. Good commentating, good production value, and good fights. I'm not saying all the fights in Strikeforce suck, but some of it is just unairable.
It's funny to see this post. I thought my brother and I were the only ones who thought those guys sucked. The main commentator is the same dude from the old PRIDE days, and I seriously wonder if he's ever rolled in his life, or he just knows a little bit from watching others, or having Bas Ruten explain it a little bit in between fights... "He's going for a sambo leg lock!" lol
It seems like they're all still trapped in the 90's, using words like side-mount, or saying shit like "a gracie black belt counts more than one from someone else." Pretty funny stuff, lol.
