I think in those video analyses Hardy does better job than anyone at making it clear what you're seeing on screen and why it matters.

Yeah and he avoided using the words sick or nasty

this is really cool, but the clip of the mighty mouse fight being played in reverse is hilarious

lol. this is right around 20:45 for the rest of ya's.

Kenny Florini is getting better but he still has a bad habit of talking around fights. Stann is no doubt the best commentator but I hope Goldberg sticks around for awhile. He's a treasure to me.

Goldberg's great because he's got that absurd promo-man voice even if he's kind of a dummy sometimes.

Frank Mir was a great commentator when he wasn't in love with one of the fighters.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



Stann is pretty good, though I think his lack of technical prowess comes through when he's commenting on grappling exchanges — or not commenting at all, there are times where he just outright doesn't talk about stuff happening on the mat. He also makes weird sex noises a lot when he sees something like likes.

"Wow, let's take a look at that knockout again. Let me tell you Jon — sssssss, ooooh, wow — wow that's a huge shot.

Hardy is a really good commentator. and its funny when people are shocked that he isnt mentally retarded even though he has a Mohawk, recreating the 90s scenario where someones mom sees an interview with Marilyn Manson and is suprised to find that he s a quiet nice boy

It bothered me that he used to call body triangles body locks, which are a different thing, but he seems to have straightened this out lately. In terms of technical prowess I consider Florian a cut above the rest until the day another commentator bothers to learn the names of judo throws.

No.

Something like that would need some good criteria to avoid slapfights. EG are we discussing "good at fighting" or "achievements" or "contributions"? Or some combination? Are we looking at a fighter's quality at his/her peak, or are we considering the career as a whole? Or is this just a rating of "here are the 100 fighters who new MMA fans should know about."

But it's interesting.

I remember a few years ago someone (I think MasRafTer) organized a goon ranking system for each division, and I think the lasting takeaway from that is we are all awful and have wrong opinions.

Gsp is a boring coward who was popular due to Canadian racism. I would never put him on my top 10. However, Bartoc the Leaper is a brutal criminal mastermind who also happens to be one of the best martial artists of all time.
