For real?

Yeah for real. Right after I saw the first Pride where he replaced Quadros I wrote to them and explained that they had made a huge mistake.

They didn't listen and look what happened to them.

Mauro is fucking awesome, fuck the haters. It's the same assholes who bitch about Goldie. Both do a good job. Play by play is a tough gig, I would love for the armchair qb's to be doing it live. They would fuck up royally.

Personally I would love for Mauro to take Anik's spot. And for Anik to take Ariel's spot. And for Ariel to bring coffee to Anik lol.

Maruo has the charisma Anik dont, Mauro and Kenny would be a great team on those free cards.

Who is with me?

Just because Play by Plan is a tough gig doesn't mean we can't hope for someone thats good at it. Yea Goldie does a good job with telling us about whatever dumb sponsor is being forced into our ears while two fighters are slugging it out (often right as one gets rocked. Multiple times fights have been stopped as Goldie has been doing his sponsor crap. I dont mind the sponsor crap its just always bad timing) or telling us about future UFC events. He also is good at filling dead air but really some dead air during a fight is nice once in a while.

For a guy thats been doing his job for as long as he has, he has a serious lack for the technical aspect of the sport and hes been spouting the same key phrases for many years. Did you know that when a guy lands a leg kick and you just hear a thud rather than a slap then its a good, solid kick but when its a loud slap it wasnt a good kick? And thats not just once per event. He'll say that shit every fight if someone throws a leg kick.

The guy is a broken record. Hes god a good voice for the booth but he appears to not have learned anything over the years.

His job can't be that hard when you have many professional play by play guys in other sports that do a great job AND know their shit. Hell just using hockey as an example, the play by play guy not only knows a ton about the sport but he has to memorize every players name AND jersey number...including opposing team players, some that only visit once or twice a year. They also are able to tell us about sponsors, upcoming events, etc.

Saying the job is hard doesn't mean Goldie (and Mauro..who i dont think is all that bad, he just sounds awful) should get a free pass to suck.

Just cause I'm an armchair qb doesn't mean that I cant tell that one person is not on par with his professional peers.

If there were tons of people better than these guys then I would agree that they suck, but since there aren't I will have to say they are some of the best in the biz. You can name one or two people you prefer but that is all because there is no one else that can do it as well. Phone Post

I hope to hell the UFC doesnt bring him in, dont think they will. He is terrible. LOL people think cause he screams some nonsense he is good, oh he yells so he is good.

He will stay with Showtime and maybe do another Showtime mma org or he will do little minor league orgs. He'll get work, it wont be the high profile number 2 mma org like he had with SF but he will find work.

I repeat, he is likely staying with Showtime. He still does Boxing commentary for them and does a pretty damn good job. I cannot stand Mauro's voice but no one can deny that there are FEW play-by-play guys in MMA who actually know the sport and actually do real PBP. He has noticably toned down the "proverbial" bullshit and the puns. If he was to replace Anik I honestly would not mind one bit, but I don't know if his voice is what Zuffa is looking for.
