I’ll just wait and see. Don’t you have to know something about a sport to do play-by-play (referring to Johnson)? Say what you will, but there is no beating Joe Rogan for MMA announcer. He knows the sport and the fighters inside and out, and he brings excitement to it in a way that none of the other knowledgable guys do.

Frank Trigg’s not so bad as an announcer either. Kenny Florian impressed me as well, commentating in the last UFC.
