Anyone excited about Brock doing pre and post fight commentary?

For cain vs dos santos?

I would be more excited if he died.

not really, maybe if he talks about getting on top of his wife...i can't imagine he would add much in MMA analysis.

He can explain the "turtle defense" and the "roll out" getaway.

That's true. They should do a segment where Brock with a sparring partner demostrate those techniques...RATINGS!

I'd watch.

He brings nothing to the table here really other than generic statements. Randy would be better.

The list of who would be better would be longer then the list of possible millionaires the UFC made.

Well he brings ratings. People we watch to see what he says. Especially casual fans.

He brings a lot if your not an mma fan, that's established.

I would be more interested in what Shaq had to say, put him on there if you want ratings.

He maybe draws in new fans who knows. He has also fought Cain so maybe he has alittle insight into that.

Maybe but I think, the bulk of his contributions will be, I'm healthy, I'm training, Cain will win cause he wrestles, I will beat Overeem, I will be the baddest man on the planet. It's reaching to think he is there for any other reason than to appeal to WWE fans.

That was Cain's least competitive fight in the UFC, I'm sure others have better insight.

Agreed but he is also Cains biggest named and biggest draw in MMA right now.

I dont disagree with u there but i think the goal is to have the ratings through the roof and putting Brock on there doesnt hurt there chances.

Jesus people. Still hating Brock after all these years? Get a fucking grip. With the exception of his first fight and his 3rd, he has fought nothing but Champions and former Champions. No one else can claim that...

It's a trade off, get a few more eyes by serving chesticle while offering little in the way of contribution vs. having some meaningful insight from a better suited personality and losing a few eyes.

I think for that day its more about putting up a huge number.

Right, but the question is here among people who actually follow mma, If I don't watch MMA than there is spectacle in a celebrity on the broadcast. I don't get the excitement for a guys whose relevancy in the sport lies in his out of sport celebrity, especially here.

Yeah i feel what u are saying but a big part of why Dana hired Brock was because he could sell to the masses. I think u are taking a shot at Brock like he isnt a good fighter which he is. He has relevance in the sport without his selling power also.

His relevancy right now is 1% mma. 2 fights in 28 months and essentially embarrassed in both of them.
