The TUF 16 finale had several references to The Randy and Chuck Fights. Rogan and Goldie insanely tried to compare Ricci VS Smith to it. What? When Roy won he claimed that his striking was just getting started like Chuck and Randy. That just seems like a really weird thing to say to me. I smell a rat, however I have no idea what it could possibly suggest. Am I just being paranoid? Thoughts?

Please, no more. Randy has nothing for chuck, not to mention, chuck sounds a little punchy already ( or maybe he is just drunk whenever he is interviewed ).

Goldie has been out of control with comparing tactics/whole fights to past UFC fights just cause something similar happened in both of them. It's really the only part of Goldie's commentating that is really starting to bug me. I get that perhaps he is doin all these references in case anyone new watching would think "Oh, I'll check that fight out"...but damn it really is starting to get out of hand.

At least he's comparing fights now instead of the statement of how every overhand right is "a la" Chuck Liddel.

Idk. Something is really bugging me about the way that big country referenced chuck and randy too. I'm not really a believer in most UFC conspiracy theories but it is very strange that he would make a reference to the same fight that Goldie and rogan were over and over. Especially considering his reference made so little sense. It's like they told him to do it and he just tried to jam it in. The whole thing just strikes me as very strange

That and Chuck being shown in the crowd. Hadn't seen him in a while.

Why wouldn't Goldie make a comparison between 2 UFC legends for the current fighters? It promotes the new breed of fighters .. It is promotion/brand recognition and the UFC does this all the time.

I'm more-so talking about the fact that big country referenced chuck and randy in his post fight interview. The two happening in the same night just struck me as strange. It's as if Dana told them to do it or something. Goldie and Rogan are one thing but the big country reference was just weird.

For the record, I only watched the fights. I can't stand all of the stuff they do in between fights so I could be missing something that ties all this stuff together. I also kissed porier vs brookins. Just wondering if anyone else noticed it and thought it strange

Seemed like Rogan was angry with Goldie, corrected him several times etc.

Roy Nelson's comment was weird, it didn't even make much sense. But I think Goldie just has the hugest man crush on Randy Couture. He brings him up at least once every event and loves going through his nicknames - "The Natural" "Captain America" etc. etc. For sure Goldberg's favorite all-time fighter.

He threw an Anderson Silva fight reference in there as well, when Ricci grabbed the back in the last 40 of the 3rd. I sometimes think Joe and Goldie must throw back a couple 5 or 6 shots of wiskey before the broadcast to loosen up. Sometimes they're a little to loose it seems.

I think Goldie was probably trying to appease those people who would have found Smith's style boring by comparing him to a widely regarded legend like Randy. I just think he over did it a bit. Nelson could have just been taking a jab at Goldie because he heard some of the commentary as the fight was happening.

This could be very likely. I could see Nelson doing something like that if he heard the comments from Goldie.

I liked Joe comparing Roy's chin to Cabbage Correira. Will always love the Cabbage quote "my head is full of concrete and stuff."
