Dan Hardy, Jimmy Smith, Kenny Florian and Brian Stann were all solid commentators that the UFC should’ve kept.
Truth.
And Brian Stann is one of the real dudes. I ran across him the night before a fight, been cutting weight and prob felt like shit, he just hung around and talked to us for about 30 minutes.
Kenflo, even though I’m a fan of his fighting and commentary, was a total douche the 2X I tried to just say “hey bro, you’re one of our favorites”.
I was very consistent going to bikram yoga years ago and Dan was pretty much in every class I attended. Seemed like a genuinely good dude. Had a few quick conversations but I never mentioned I was a fan or even in to MMA.
He was a solid analyst. I liked his breakdowns a lot.
I’d much rather hear him than one-sided DC.
The UFC’s number one qualification is you have to be terrible to be on the broadcast team.
Never liked Hardy, when Condit KO’d him with a left hook it was hilarious. Dude always bragged about his left hook and lost in an exchange by left hook from Carlos who was a better ground fighter.

I enjoyed the trolling before the Marcus Davis fight. Don’t get things like that anymore
