-Ranallo, Johnson, and Shamrock all dressed in shiny suits and looking like Batman villains.-The announcers were on fire, as usual.----"That's where Werdum was trying to put his game into the game." - Shamrock----Shamrock also butchered Sokoudjou's name multiple times. At one point, I think he was calling him "Sudoku".----"CBS stands for 'Can't Beat Sokoudjou'" - Ranallo-I wish they'd go with a two man booth of Gus Johnson and Pat Miletich. You play off Johnson's lack of MMA knowledge against Miletich's ability to explain things in concise terms that even new fans understand.-Jimmy Lennon Jr. also deserves some grief for his overblown introductions. He called Jake Shields, "MMA's world renowned cagemaster". Do we even need introductions for the undercard? It's on TV. We have graphics telling us their records. I'd be a lot happier to never have to see the introductions again. They're a waste of time.-How does WAMMA have enough money to advertise on the mat? -Mousasi's trip on Sokoudjou was superb, yet they somehow did not show a replay. -Hopefully this is the last time we have to see Sokoudjou portrayed as a top fighter.-Jake Shields should never be allowed on CBS again. I found the fight somewhat entertaining, but this is an event geared towards casual fans. It was a terrible lead-in for the main event and hurt the overall ratings.-Miller's entrance was embarrassing. If it was funny, I guess I could see the point of airing it.-Big John McCarthy got a huge ovation. He's more popular than most fighters.
