I dont think it comes on at all in my area.

Devon Cole putting Carlos Cline's mouthpiece back in his mouth was a very wise move on his part. If he let the ref pick up the mouthpiece then it would have been stood up.

Interesting that they had Rogan and Bravo interviewed on the show tonight.

[Matt Boone]

Especially since Rogan pretty much took a shit on the team concept idea when asked about it, and that's really all they asked him. Eddie Bravo was doing his best immitation of someone from the Tapout crew, or your regular local goth kid from high-school who never out-grew that phase of life.

Cole-Cline restart situation you might be wrong, but they've also done middle-of-ring restarts like in PRIDE in the IFL before (the last show had one I remember specifically). So while like Quadros said it was probably both strategy and sportsmanship, I think it was just sportsmanship.

[Matt Boone]

P.S. - Quadros' partner on IFL commentary still sucks big time. You can tell he's a good host-type announcer, but not for MMA. Get his ass out of there before he ruins the show for me. Commentary helps the flow of a show, and kind of sets the mood for a show. The PRIDE show mood really changed when it went from Bas/Quadros to now Trigg/Renallo, so there's a good example of how important commentary can be. Obviously PRIDE is still the shit, but it was even more "the shit" when Bas and Quadros were the one's talking.

anyone see me on tv??? lol i gotta watch this on my tivo in a minute. the first one came out pretty good so i'm sure this one is just as good. i wish pride and ifl would've hooked up with a better network. i don't know about you guys but fsn isn't that huge here. they should've tried someone as big as spike for exposure. maybe when pride gets here and ifl grows they'll move to a morre popular network and get more ratings.

[LethalStriker]

They need a new color commentator guy for the announce team that is for sure. Quadros best used as a play-by-play but has to do more of the color commentary with the other guy.

They should just have Jens Pulver do the color commentary on the second event. Didn't Rampage originally do the commentary but they decided they didn't like performance and redid all of it?

[Luis Cruz]

yes thats what he told me.

jens is their new commentator from now on i guess starting this saturday. thats what they announced at the last event.

[Anthony]

They finally showed it and I slept through the whole thing. Actually I got a phone call at 8:30 here and I thought I was late for work, turns out it was 8:30 PM and not 8:30 AM the next day.

[Matt Boone]

If it's Jens and Quadros that's cool, but wouldn't it more likely than not either be Jens and the dumbass, or Jens, the dumbass and Quadros as a trio? The dumbass is the main host guy of the show.

And FSN is a garbage network nationally, but you asked if it's big where we are, and I'm in Florida. The network is as big as any other network down here. The even kind of cater to the Florida audience it seems.
