They need to learn how to pace the show better. They insulted their fans intelligence by having Frank Shamrock explain the basics of MMA for a 5-7 minute segment at the start of the show. It was informative if you have never seen it, but still you'd have to be living under a rock to have never seen it. It would be someone spending longer than 2 minutes explaining the rules of Texas Hold'Em to a television viewer.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy the commentary of Gus Johnson in other sports especially during the NCAA March Madness, but stick him to the interviews and let Shamrock and the guy with the cool voice be a two man commentary team. Or alternate fights with him. I thought Gus did a good job but you don't need a three man crew.<BR/><BR/>I thought the biggest crap on that card was when they stopped the Lawler/Smith fight because they didn't want to give Smith five minutes to recover from a simple eye gouge. I think CBS was definitely feeling the time crunch. But then again why did it take them 20 minutes after that fight cleared out of the ring to start the main event?Epichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03869657211725842321noreply@blogger.com
