Yeah, massive pro-click. John basically says "the graphics UFC shows and the stuff Joe Rogan says about judging are total horseshit," and then he explains what the judges are actually looking for.

All those graphics basically stem from the whole "trying to look like a real sport" thing, same as the Reebok uniforms. The big sports all have all sorts of stats and metrics the broadcasters can ramble about endlessly without having to do real analysis so in an effort to let the announcers imitate the NFL-ish "Well, Aaron Rodgers have a passer rating of 124, and his ball holding time per play is really high so that means he is good" they've added all these vaguely meaningless metrics about "head strikes attempted" and "distance traveled in the octagon" and so on.

New people should be required to take a video of themselves watching Lawler/Manhoef

I was so sure Robbie's leg was going to burst open like an overcooked sausage and then they simultaneously performed their party tricks and it was glorious.
