Miletich is one of the high points of MMA commentating.
Unfortunately, his colleagues make listening to Strikeforce broadcasts nearly unbearable.

Griggs cannot do anything about Lashley's takedowns, but that cut on Lashley's face looks ugly.

Mauro Ranallo is the most annoying person in the world and I wish they would get rid of him

John Schorle is obviously the worst referee in mixed martial arts.
Full mount, no matter what, deserves no standing up.

For a guy built like the Incredible Hulk, Lashley doesn't seem to hit very hard.

stand up isnt the issue... not letting him restart in the position is... ******* bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

agreed, if time was called to check the cut it should have been restarted in the same position.

KJ has great boxing man... I want to see him against better competition. That knee grazed Gurgel's elbow it looked like, and Gurgel was out of it.
