Brock Lesnar not only beat you at UFC 100, he obliterated your face. No amount of makeup could completely cover up the raccoon eyes you still sport. Then you go out on that limb and pick Forrest Griffin as “the guy” to beat Anderson Silva. Silva embarrasses Griffin harder than Lesnar did you. How could your life possibly get worse?
Your favorite fighter, the guy who’s knob you slobbed for five rounds against Taka Michinoku, the guy you proclaimed as the “best American-born mixed martial artist” gets a nice hard look at Brian Bowles’ knuckles. When Todd Harris asks you to recap the action, you sound like someone just killed your puppy just to bring it back to life and kill it again.
I really don’t have a problem with commentators not maintaining objectivity in general. The problem I have is when the commentary is provided by the organization. Mir and Harris aren’t just representatives of Versus, they’re representatives of the WEC (I believe). When you’re being paid by the promotion, it becomes inappropriate to openly take sides. But hey, it provided for some hilariously awkward TV!
Edit: I also love Harris blowing his load during the replay while Mir’s doing his eulogy. Classy!
