That's what I figured, hell If I were Bas and Mauro I would of chosen to do the Japan shows only.

And let that moron hire on whomever for the American events.

No they have to work for him in Japan too. He produces all the PPVs shown in the US.

I got you, that sucks, so we have to suffer with Twinkle Toes and whomever.

Thanks for the clarification.

No problem man. It will be interesting to see who takes Trigg's spot when he fights Misaki at PRIDE 33. The guy who replaced Mauro is awful, but most likely he'll be back.

Is Jay Glazer officially with Elite now? I can stand him over twinkle toes, maybe Fedor should do color in Russian!

Trigg is going to fight then go back commentating the same night, after fighting Misaki in Pride 33.

I don't mind Frank Trigg. He tends to overtalk but does a good job, just my opinion. But the new guy who replaced Mauro was absolutely terrible. You need a man with some bass to his voice, not a high pitched wimpy voice like that new guy had. I could barely stand to listen to him.

From all I have gathered, the Pride U.S. business team is terrible. Their television program on FoxSports is terrible. Can't even listen to the new commentator's wimpy voice. I don't know why Pride is dropping the ball so bad on moving into America. Maybe they will get it straightened out in 2007.

I know that casino guy that was looking at buying Pride, Fishman something, you can tell he is itching to cut Pride's show down to 2 hours or less in order to get the people back out onto the casino floor sooner. The interview I read with him, the guy really creeped me out with what he was saying; it was like he talking about a Blue Man Group show rather than a massive sporting event. I hope he does not get control of Pride.

Pride needs to get it together and fast. No one seems to like the business people based stateside for their U.S. expansion and when people who have been with the company for so long start leaving because the U.S. business people are unbearable, something has to change.

Mauro needs to come to the UFC. Mike Goldburg is beginning to bug the hell out of me. But if Mauro comes to the UFC, I think they need to get rid of Rogan or add another commentator, but not Couture though. His voice is weak and i dont wanna bother trying to listen in on what the hell he is saying. Btw, WWE star Goldburg on EliteXC was horrible. He was often repeating the same shit Mauro said and didnt add any insight besides the obvious. They need a real MMA commentator, a well spoken MMA fighter. I thought all this time that Bas recommended Trigg for the job and that was the reason I sorta put up with Trigg. What the fuck did Pride USA see in Trigg that made him a commentator? He sucks the energy out and he makes up his emotions and asks stupid vocabulary questions and brags how he barely graduated from elementary school....
