    The SHOWTIME Mixed Martial Arts announce team, led by play-by-play broadcast veteran Gus Johnson, Mixed Martial Arts experts Mauro Ranallo and Stephen Quadros and MMA legends Frank Shamrock and Pat Miletich will combine to create one of the most experienced and versatile groups in the history of the sport. The announcement was made today by Ken Hershman, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sports & Event Programming, SHOWTIME, at a Los Angeles press conference kicking off the premium network’s new relationship with leading MMA promoter Strikeforce.

    The group will work in various combinations on both Strikeforce championship telecasts and on the yet to be named up-and-comers’ series.

    “I am thrilled with the announce team we’ve assembled,â€￾ said Hershman. “The depth of talent, in terms of professional fight experience and live broadcast polish, is unmatched in the industry.

    “As the first premium television network to regularly deliver live MMA events, SHOWTIME has taken the lead in presenting the sport with the respect and integrity it deserves. We take pride in delivering unparalleled coverage of this dynamic sport. And now, our broadcast team is unparalleled as well.â€￾

    Yeah Frank also has a fighting contract so he will not always be there. He is fighting Nick Diaz

    I am so tired of Frank Shamrock. I will definitely be rooting for Diaz. This is way out of Nick's weight though. Frank has all the advantages.

    Besides Shamrock, the rest of the team is pretty solid. Mauros is a bit of a goofball, but his knowledge is good. Quadros is one of my personal favorites.

    I can't stand Mauro. It's nothing but one unfunny pun after another. It's like HE wants to be the focus of the show, not the action itself.

    The horrible, un-funny puns suck ass, but I can still tolerate him more than Rogan. I know some people like Rogan on here, but I just want to punch him in the nuts by the end of the show.

    I don't mind Rogan but I can understand why people don't like him. I think the difference between Rogan and Mauro is, Mauro wants the attention to be on him, where Rogan is just so into MMA that he goes over the top with it from time to time.
