Anyone else watch it?

The commentary was diabolical, Ed Robinson clearly knows nothing about MMA why have him commentating in that case?

Bas Rutten's MCing was woeful.

That guy who fought Alistair Overeem was announced as also being 250lbs that is absolute bull he was 5 inches shorter with a smaller frame. What a terrible match too, the guy was 2-1 going into the fight!

It was a poor show - I switched over to watch Alan Partridge after 20mins or so and switched back in time to see The Demoiltion Man muller his inexperienced foe.

Disappointed in what I saw - they shud have had Bas commentating - he was always excellent and funny for Pride I thought.

Did Tyson actually ref a match? If he did I missed it.

Bas was commentating AND MCing. His commentary is certainly colourful but he needs a good lead man next to him which he didn't have. All Robinson kept doing was saying "why is he doing that?" and Bas or the other guy (I think it was James Thompson) would explain. Cobblers!

Cage Rage is way better.

' And of course, he needs an opponent, otherwise he can't fight, it's just like chess...'

Tyson reffed a fight that was over in 59 seconds, Terry Etim won with a leg triangle. He looks pretty handy for a 20 year old.
