Goldberg constantly makes mistakes in commentary, Anik does quite a good job imo.

Dan Hardy is good from a technical perspective, as is Kenflo. Brian 'Level change' Stann is annoying though.
 
Frank Mir is a superb commentator, same with Josh Barnett.

If (when) Bruce goes I wouldn't mind Andy Friedlander taking over. Does a very good job with the European shows.

Enjoyed TUF this week, thought it was a poor performance from Saul, annoyed me that he kept letting Ryan stand up rather than keeping the pressure on.
 
Soo, tickets go on sale tomorrow to O2 Priority members for the UK based fight night in Feb. I'm getting tickets for me and 3 of my mates but can't find any info on potential ticket prices to make a decision on where we can sit. Anyone know how I can find this out?

Reports saying Dana White has said rousey will get her rematch with holm before she fights anyone else, waiting for it to become official on the ufc site.

Holms first defence should be against Tate,
Tate was bumped from fighting RR in favour of Holm.. now its time for Holm to take on Tate,
RR needs far too much time working on tactics/basics to be ready for a rematch

Agreed.

We're not talking about a closely contested decision here; Holm dominated from start to finish and there's no reason to think that she won't do so again unless Rousey spends considerable time working on the holes in her game.
 
I'm all for rematches when the fight is close, or a decision is controversial but a domination like that? No thanks.

Surprised Rousey actually wants to take it, i'd have thought a ass whooping like that would've opened her eyes to her amateur striking. Obviously not.

I'd expect the rematch to look similar to the Jedrzejczyk and Esparza fight, with one fighter looking absolutely desperate for a takedown.

Whether there is much point or not from a fighting POV, isn't necessarily hugely relevant if the UFC feel it is potentially a last chance to cash in on Rousey and / or a quick way to get her back in the belt and brush the whole affair under the carpet.

They are interested solely in how best to promote the business and make money, whether that involves making the 'right' fights or not.

Seeing as Dana has pretty much already said it will happen, the only way it won't is if Rousey ducks it, which could do almost as much damage to her reputation as losing again.

As I said before, it's not about whether the fight is right for the fighters or even the fans really, it's how best they can make money while people still care who Rousey is.

Drop her from the picture for too long and you lose years of hype, at least this way they get either one last big pay day out of her or put her back on the top, either way the UFC wins as a business.
