MMA has the issue of not having enough data. Fighters only have matches every few months - the wear and tear is too high to have them fighting multiple times per week for half of the year. Another example of this is football - a 16-game season isn't even close to getting the data required to make good analysis.
As a result, even sophisticated commentary on football and MMA tends to be a crapshoot.
- jnordwick 10y agoFootball by _far_ has the best announcers and analystss. Basketball has the second worst. MMA has Joe Rogan - nuf said. Joking aside. Even your mediocre football analysis is stat filled and the in depth chalk talk on some shows is pretty good. Some of the basketball play chalk talk is just hideous, contradictory, and stone age in comparison. It really needs a moneyball type thing to happen to it.
