I'm not a man, but I'm pretty sure I have a man-crush on Gus.  Seeing the video in the clip took me back to when he said that Earl Clark was bringin' the pain.

I personally find MMA boring, but I may watch just for this.

The MMA is a lot of things, but it's hard to see how even it's haters would call it 'boring'.

I don't hate it, but it puts me to sleep.  Half the time, it's just another guy on top of the other guy on the ground.  Boy that's thrilling.  It's still far better than horse racing and poker (which isn't even a sport) but it IMO it's not that interesting.

If this isn't a knock on MMA than forgive me, I'm not sure what you meant, but surely a fan of 'WWE' isn't criticizing fighting with actual contact.

no no no no no.... that's not what i meant with my comment. i was just saying the calls that Gus Johnson would make, since in the NCAA tournament he's make calls by saying "Ohh...he hits it (the shot) WHOA!!!" and "THIS is College Basketball!!! March Madness!!!"... i like MMA, i'll be watching this
lol, the fact that the comment was on topic threw me.  Those are definitely the calls we can expect to hear from Gus.  And I hope you didn't PQ me.  You seem really intelligent, don't fall into that crowd

If you had a clue about what was going on, then you'd enjoy it a lot more... When it's "just another guy on top of the other guy on the ground", that's often the most technically sound and important parts of the fight.

Awesome, because I don't enjoy something you enjoy, you insult me.  Excellent.

I know that the guy in top is draining all of the energy of the guy on the bottom setting him up to be finished off.  It's not like MMA is really difficult to figure out.  I just personally find it boring.  Just my opinion of it.

Where did I insult you?

All I said was that you aren't exactly an MMA afficionado. It would be about the same as you telling me that I would enjoy hockey more if I knew more about it. It's not an insult... it's just a fact.

They're not just draining energy... most submission moves come from the ground, and many fighters are more dangerous on the ground than they are in the stand-up. They might not be able to knock you out, but they can break your arm without you even knowing what happened.

I took "If you had a clue" as saying I was too dumb to understand it.  My apologies for the misunderstanding.
