Goldberg has nothing on Schiavello

With his “It’s all over”

Edson Barboza and Charles Oliveira are gonna stir up the pot at 155!

or his

“When we come back…”

"Remember that shit I gave you last week nigga? It's nothing nigga, it's nothin', it's nothing nigga, nigga it's nothing. This shit right here, nigga! This shit right here nigga, right here this shit nigga! This shit right here nigga!....This shit called deaf nigga!"

"That don't even sound attractive, you mean Ima hit it and die nigga?"

"Naw nigga, not death nigga, nigga DEAF! You hit this shit twice, you can't hear nothin'"

"Coming up next!"

I hear that shit in my nightmares…

Why cant they replace Goldberg with a real commentator like The voice or Mauro?

He must be married to for of the Fretita’s sisters or go to synagog with Dana or something.

by StrikerDave on Jan 10, 2011 5:22 PM EST up reply actions  

his normal rant involves

bitching about the phrase “coming up next”. He has posted on this topic about 100 times.

Irene for those who do not know is his chick.

Weird part though is he was using that long before knowing her.

Schiavello – Miletich is the dream team of MMA anncouncing. fuck everyone else.

BIG NOG for Life
One Step closer to Gleison Tibau @ 145
If the round is too close, it's 10-10, NOT flip a coin 10-9 or late takedown FTW.

I forget is it Michael Schiavello?

And he was at Pride right, before Mauro?

don't think he was ever with pride.

catch one of the Fields' shows (Dream or K-1)

i think he also does SRC. His work is awesome, he could narrate paint drying and make it exciting or at least funny with a bunch of one liners.

bas and quadros (the fight professor) did the commentary for old pride, then mauro replaced quadros.

i only heard of schiavello during an m-1 show that featured king mo’ as the main event and i got hooked with his shit

“he could narrate paint drying "

I might agree with that…certainly better than Goldberg.

I need to start a campaign to have Goldberg replaced?

Didnt know that...

But i agree with him on that…

FUCK GOLDBERG.

EVERY UFC there is an error that a coked up, Rogan corrects with no sleep.

I agree but I also really like miletich

I could certainly do without Goldie yoda lingo though ‘And it’s all over" will always be a classic for me.

Rogan does do a lot of backpedalling for him. You would think that after doing it for as long as he has, he would get to know some of the lingo, and when it is appropriate to use it. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for too many years. My guess is he is not a big fan of MMA, which is just stupid. Can you imagine an NFL broadcaster making those kind of mistakes? “It looks like Reggie Bush is going to need to throw a long touchdown and then bring his prevent defense out to shut down that running game”.

i’d take pat over mauro any day. I don’t dislike mauro but he tends to scream over the others

Good Night Irene should have been a zero time thing.

Every time I hear it a cringe. Other then that, Schievello is great.

When did he say Goodnoght Irene and what was it in reference to?

he says it in every single fight when someone gets ko'd and a lot of times they arn't even ko'd.

Gotta love all the one liners.

That said, not many people (if any) could carry the UFC product the way Goldie and Rogan do, mistakes and all.

Schiavellos accent drives me insane. I mute the TV when he announces.

by NickyD240 on Jan 10, 2011 6:27 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

yes

His voice is incessant, but he knows what hr’s talking about…usually.

I’d agree with the post above as well, the UFC has a pretty good thing going. Goldie gets on my nerves sometimes as well, but it works. I would like to see Ariel in the mix somehow, but not if it means he has to check his opinions at Zuffas door.

Schiavello is my 2nd favourite mma announcer for sure. I usually watch the events he announces pretty high so the shit he says I find hilarious. He’s so random and full of energy. I think if Rogan and Schiavello teamed up that would be almost as entertaining as the fights.

by budgellism on Jan 10, 2011 6:35 PM EST reply actions  

Replace Goldberg, he is terrible at what he does. And I hate how he’s always starring at Rogan like he’s going to rape him.

by budgellism on Jan 10, 2011 6:36 PM EST up reply actions  

i watched a video on you tube the other day of the voice and rogan just talking shop and it was great. i'd love to listen to the 2 of them call an event just once.

That was an awesome video, closest thing we have to shows like that is the cringeworthy Cage Fighting magazine show

I’m jealous of everyone with HDNet, if only the UK had a channel to show the latest K-1 and MMA. Other than the UFC all we seem to get are awful regional shows and crappy coverage of old kickboxing and MMA on Eurosport and Extreme Sports.

The Voice, Rogan and Miletich doing commentary with Ariel doing the backstage and post-fight interviews would be my dream broadcast team. All of them are knowledgeable, articulate and witty.

"There's a few very good judges surrounded by a bunch of incompetent morons, who know nothing about the sport. They need to do something about that, because it's ruining MMA. It's making people think that this sport is corrupt. It has nothing to do with corruption. It's sheer and total incompetence."

Joe Rogan speaking the truth. Sort the judging out now.

I hate Schiavello. His voice, accent and face are annoying as hell to me.

I like Rogan and Militech and Randy. The rest can GTFO.

He's knowlegable,

sure. Hate “the voice”. Australian accents, when screamed like he does, are as bad as Bahston accents and Jersey accents put together.

but I don’t like the “Good night Irene” call. Some of those were pretty brutal KOs.
