Why are UFC fighters such bad analysts?

  • Anthony Smith has drawn a lot of attention lately for his controversial takes and breakdowns of his own fights and especially his losses, so today I went down the rabbit hole and looked into the UFC fighters who double as voices of the sport and analysts/commentators and show you guys some of their lazy, uninspired, paycheck grabbing and shallow analysis of the sport that don't match their experience or supposed understanding whatsoever. This video covers Aljamain Sterling, Anthony Smith, Julianna Pena, Chael Sonnen, Brendan Schaub as well as highlighting some good current analysts like Paul Felder and Michael Chiesa.

    I'm nowhere near an expert but my take is that in order to succeed in combat sports, you need to know your physique and it's capabilities, you need to know what strikes and grappling techniques works best for you, in other words you have to find your style.
    But a lot of the time, fighters just find their style by a happy accident and they don't know why or how they do it, they just do it and do their best. Meanwhile, they're just thinking about how to use their weapon effectively but aren't thinking about what weapons other fighters have and how they use it and why they use it, alk that matters is that they win and when they fight, they're just in the zone.
    So since they're so focused on training in their own way, they never analyzed how others train and why they do it.
    Meanwhile, the most mid fighters ever have realized that their bodues and abilities are just ok and they tned to focus more on other fighters then become a coach or something.
    This was pretty long but i hope it made sense 😂

    They all have a relative bias, they’ve spent by there lives practicing specific things so look for so they maybe carry those things into it, not only that but you hear coaches talk in very broad strokes too. It’s fair if they’re in camp and want to keep cards close to their chest but they do it when asked about a fight that has nothing to do with them. I love the kind of small details that the very good analysts can go in to, Luke Thomas tells of Max Holloway and his team asking him to stop breaking down his fights because he’s giving away his tricks. Chael is the king of talking loud and saying nothing.

    Chaels a mouthpiece for dana who uses the same keywords over and over. Oh and he said pavlovich was 29-1 ..
    Just like DC, just like bisping, bisping especially gets on my nerves, and i’m a brit😂 he’s probably the worst commentator for the ufc right now, half the time he’s shouting too loud, jokes around abit too much, and also brings up himself.
    Also anthony smith talking about jon jones might be the dumbest thing an mma fighter has said barring tito

    You know what's wrong with MMA fans is they consider the biggest cheater in history of sport their GOAT. That's why nobody taking this sport seriously.
    Jon Jones if he was in any other sport he will not enter the Hall of Fame.
    The man is the CEO of PEd use and in that area he is the Goat.

      What’s even crazier is the UFC treats him so well when he’s not only done PEDS but multiple serious crimes too
