Ken is definitely better than what we have to listen to in the UFC.

Yeah just dont piss him off, but seriously his talent is not sub-par, he is a very skilled and talented fighter but he is old and slower now, but dont mistake that for him not being skilled or talented he's just past his prime. Would you call Montana sub-par? Marino sub par? Farve sub-par? They are just older and past their prime but in many ways are more skilled now and definately more knowledgeable, reason being is they cant now rely on their youthful reactions as much nor their strength to bail them out of trouble they must now think their way out of situations, just like a major league pitcher who's velocity has gone down and must now use more location and a change of speed to get by.

I thought he was good on the Strikeforce NBC broadcasts, so I'm glad more people are noticing him from the Sherdog live stream. Also, you can't compare him to his brother's commentary, as they both play different roles in the broadcast booth. Ken is part of a two man group and is relied upon more, while Frank is the 3rd wheel with the likes of two broadcast guys who are far more experienced than him, so he takes a more "let me know when to speak" role. I like both actually.

I think he did a good job. With some more experience he could be even better.

Ken Shamrock is an annoying, extremely biased commentator. I wanted to gouge out my eardrums with an ice pick listening to him commentate.

I'd rather hear Bas talk about 2 fournicating turtles than read your post-deminishing warfare against Bas

Yeah, that was a very, very ignorant statement by the threat-starter.
