If it's like the first episode, the Bodog thing is only them talking shortly about the fighters before the fights and not during.

With his big mouth Josh is a perfect commentator, great move (because last time Pride had worst commentators in the history of the sport).

Yeah, just saw it, initially I thought they would commentate a few of the episode fights.

This SUCKS. I wanted Trigg to commentate even while warming up. And even during the Misaki fight. Just give him a headset and let him go.....

Just let Barnett and Baroni commentate for the entirety of the Pride Vegas show. Do we really need PBP? since essentially the color man explains all the moves anyway.

I'm not sure if Baroni would be a good choice. He sounded really uncomfortable IMO when he did his little commentary bits on BodogFIGHT.

I thought he did some Prides in the past and he wasn't too bad.

I agree. Watch Baroni commentating on Shogun vs Rampage, he was good.

Yeah I remember in Sakuraba vs Dong Sik where he called Dong Sik fried rice.
