    There’s a Kevin Dunn in every job in the world. A complete tool who can’t read a room and has a way of doing things that make no sense to anyone with sense… but is somehow a supervisor or a manager because reasons.

We don't like outsiders because they don't do how we do it. Right, or wrong, it is not our way, so we have to retrain them." Loosely meaning - they have another "dunn" waiting to replace him

    To Jim and Brian talking about Cain Velasquez, it was Cain vs. Junior Dos Santos for the UFC HW title at the time, great trilogy between those two btw. Although I remember during one video segment since it was FOX's first foray into MMA and the UFC, they had a really silly/campy moment of Junior looking hyped and posing with a flaming FOX Sports logo in the shot. Looked really ridiculous, I guess they had to make it over the top to keep people interested.
