Good show, but I still like InsideMMA better. The interaction between the hosts and guests on InsideMMA seems more natural.

BJ Penn is on their P4P list. I'll put Cro Cop on mine again. Good to know.

Well this is their first show so I am sure they aren't going to have guests. Like I said, they have to tune up a few things but I am very excited if this show picks up. Good potential.

Despite the dumb quip by the host (who was probably reading off a teleprompter, but still that Georgia line was LOL), the panel is very good. I never heard of that Franklin guy before and was surprised by his knowledge of the sport given I have never seen him anywhere before ever. His comments also provided to the discussion (as opposed to Kenny "Learn as you go" Rice).

This show seems much better put together and more professional than Inside MMA. I found it interesting that they weren't able to use Dream highlights. I guess HDNET didn't give them the rights which is interesting considering that they constantly complain on Inside MMA that the UFC doesn't allow them to use UFC footage. Tit for Tat I guess.

A lot slicker and better produced then Inside MMA, and I like Inside MMA for the most part.

The trouble with Inside MMA is its bias in certain areas, not helped by being produced by HD Net who are a competing MMA promoter. This ESPN show looks to be more objective, and started off nicely talking about the Afflcition card for a few minutes.

Great show.

Molly over Ron whatever from Inside MMA by flying gogoplata (actually by not speaking like a robot), seriously he should just watch and learn...

I like the instructional stuff Kenny does. That was a good idea to add

Kenny is such a great ambassador of the sport and exactly what MMA needs. He's so knowledgeable and well-spoken and goes a long way toward breaking stereotypes about fighters that I'm sure still exist out there.
