Obligatory McNeil sucks comment.

other than referring to his sources like he’s a CIA agent, he’s not that bad. I hate hime like a 6 on a scale of one to ten.

agreed.

I agree as well, and I’m pretty sick of his ‘sources’. Also, I think it’s stupid for anyone to like fighters based on race, and McNeil always seems to prefer the black fighters. We’re in the 21st century, it’s time to stop with the racial preferences.

GregC: That’s an extremely subjective statement to say that his picks are based on race. In other words, it’s all in your mind. By your standards whenever a white person picks another white fighter to win then race is their prime motivator as well.

Foolishness…….

Machine, McNeil has said before thats why hes going for a fighter! When they did the Mount Rushmore of MMA, he said Rampage should be on there cause it had to have a black guy! But if it was any other race saying that they pick the guy cause he was the same race, people would go crazy!!!!!!!!

by JV on Dec 26, 2008 2:10 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Thank you JV. And Machine, I understand how my post could have been misinterpreted, but I certainly was not merely inferring that McNeil was picking black fighters because he’s black. I wouldn’t make that assumption unless he had previously made the statements about Rampage.

by GregC on Dec 26, 2008 2:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Well whether it’s about race or not, no one will disagree with me on the fact that most of his argument/breakdown is fluff and really meaningless when you think about it. He’s not saying anything that you cant say about any other fighter that’s preparing for a fight. Also who else was pissed off that Sakuraba wasn’t on their retarded mountain?

Franklin McNeil sucks imo.

UFC 92 is gonna be amazing!!!

Oh it is the single moment I have been waiting for my entire life.

by Wanderlei Fan on Dec 25, 2008 11:53 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

The only fight im looking forward to the least wouls have to be Mir – Nog. But every other fight on the card is huge for me. Cant wait to see Mastafa Al Turk test himself inside the UFC.

by b.w. on Dec 26, 2008 12:20 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

by brendan on Dec 26, 2008 12:42 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

by Jared on Dec 26, 2008 12:32 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

It’s beautiful because Christmas is over and I still have something great to look forward to!

like paying off all the interest on your credit cards?

by brendan on Dec 26, 2008 10:40 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Mcneil is lame but, this show blows doors on HDnet’s Inside MMA.

Griffin by UD
Nog by KO
Toss up in the Page/Silva, No idea.

Either way, all great fights!

by Jrandolph on Dec 26, 2008 12:52 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Rampage is going to do it!

by Tony on Dec 26, 2008 2:50 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

92 is going to be great I hope. It has potential for a lot of really good fights. I think seeing Mir get sub’d would make my night! Thanks UFC!

long time fan of the show but why did they change the theme song for the opening, the old song got me pumped up before watching it, i think the new one sucks i hope some of you agree

 forrest ud
mir sub
rampage in split

by rawbt on Dec 26, 2008 8:56 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

i actually like the new one better

by brendan on Dec 26, 2008 10:49 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I like the new intro. It’s not as annoying as the other one.
I always wanted to skip it but it was pretty hard to get it right.
Good Show btw.

anybody know how i can make the video full screen?

Every week Franklin McNeil sounds like an ass! Please get rid of him!

All he does is state "what he thinks is the obvious". He is an idiot who clearly only watches the UFC. I really want to just smack him. I also like how he argues with the fighters about technical stuff. Clearly he is an idiot! ESPN, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUT SOMEONE ELSE ON THIS SHOW instead of McNeil
At least Rogan will say something insightful every other ppv. I have watched most of the ESPN show, McNeil continues to amaze me!
