Favorite MMA broadcasters?

My favorite team was The Voice and Bas... Back in the day when Bas used to drink during the broadcast it was the best..
Over the last few events I have started to dislike Rogan, it just seems like he is getting crazier and crazier during the fight, and during the post fight. His play by play used to be right on point, but as of late he seems to be slipping.
I like Stann as a play by play and think him and Anik make a good team. It pains me to say that, because I think Anik is a super tool and can't stand his voice.

This ^. I can't stand Anik and Florian during the fight. I love Flo behind the desk but not during the fight. The 1-2 punch of him and Anik put me to sleep.
I enjoyed Goldie/Stann when they worked together recently, not sure when
I feel like this thread has been done a few times already. I don't have a favorite play-by-play guy. I don't particularly care for any of them but I'll say Goldie just because he's been such a staple in the UFC.
My favorite color guys are 1. Rogan and a distant 2. Dan Hardy followed by a tie at 3. with Stann and Florian. I haven't heard Mir in a while but I remember really enjoying his commentary.
Good:
Joe Rogan -- Color
Frank Mir -- Color
Mauro Ranallo -- Play by play
Bas Rutten -- Color
Gus Johnson -- Play by play
Stephan Bonnar* -- Color

Okay:
Jimmy Smith -- Color
Brian Stann -- Color
Pat Miletich -- Color
Kenny Florian -- Color
Steven Quadros -- Play by play
Randy Couture -- Color
Jon Anik -- Play by play
Justin Wheelock -- Play by play..... although his calls sound like Highlight Recaps/Promos of fights, weird.
Bad:
Bill Goldberg -- Color
Mike Goldberg -- Play by play
Among fighters/former fighters, Frank Mir and Bas are definitely the best. Brian Stann is soild.
Randy Couture and Pat Miletich, I'm sure provided good insight as to what was happening in the fights, but their voices were not quite right for the job. I often wouldn't even hear what Randy was saying; strange kind of low, monotone voice. And I grew to hate the Pat Miletich/Frank Shamrock team... the "back and forth banter" was off-putting, uncomfortable at times.
Is there some kind of rift between Anik and Stan? I was watching a stream that let the cameras roll, and they seemed a little off, facing their backs to each other, and as soon as they are live up pops Aniks rediculous fake smile. As soon as the segment was over they walk separate ways with Stan shaking his head. Golden piece of footage, wished I recorded it.
