They watch the fighers train and support them for their fights in underground fight organizations, some in the WEC.

Honestly, I think the hosts are kind of annoying. I'm not trying to hate because I know they get to act like tards but probably make substantially more money than I do, but they couldn't have hired some guys that are witty and have a sense of humor? Mask walks around with a stupid hat on and halloween paint on his face, Skyscrape is a 7ft. tall guy that wears a new wig and sunglasses for each episode, and punkass probably keeps a constant high throughout the epidsode and hides behind his big sunglasses. Oh, and he has Tapout tattooed on the back of his neck.

I do appreciate the insight we get on fighter's training and hell, we get to watch a fight at the end of each episode (helpful during this UFC drought) but I think these guys are douchebags. I think Mask might be the president of Tapout so I guess his spot is secured, but I'm not sure how much more yelling (Matt Huuuuughes, Matt Huuuuuughes, BeJaaaaaay, BeJaaaaaaaaay) I can take. This stuff makes me appreciate Joe Rogan a little more.

k i'm done.

repped for truth

Sometimes I think Jane Goodall should watch these three and see if she can figure out their language. For example:

"rob roy, rob ROY, ROB ROY, ROB ROY, Yeaaahhh" could possibly translate into english as: "Hey Rob Roy, how are you? I'm happy too see you." They have taken the language down too one level above primal grunting.

Then in that episode they go to a small, small local where there are a bunch of bikers. The tapout guys start saying the bikers are and look wierd?!?!? I mean this is a guy who looks like he is wearing a cheap halloween suit-hat and bad face makeup, a tall guy in a very fake wig and sunglasses- not as gay as full gay, but defintiely dumber in a way that makes clowns look good, and Punkass who is the most normal but is covered in tattoos and wears a doo-rag like a biker...

Seriously, these guys calling anyone wierd is just ludicrous.

You have to admit even though they act like morons every episode, they do a lot of good for the sport. And they also help a lot of fighters by getting there foot in the door.

I actually enjoy the show. I mean I'll take MMA action anyway i can. Now I'm not a huge fan of the mindless chatter, but they do take you to some pretty good gyms and camps where you sometimes get to see a lot of cool and sometimes new idea's on training. And of course you get introduced to up and coming fighters and they always end the show with a fight. I think the show could deff be improved, but hey it's MMA and it's still a lot better then those mindless shows with all those spoiled rich kids in California.

I was recently channel surfing, paused at tapout- and got to see Mask let his true self hang out. To the point where he can kiss my white unshaven hiney.

On National TV he chews out an employee about design work. On and on, beating the dead horse he ripped the designer a new one. NO courtesy, tact, or anything. I mean no one likes getting chewed out by the boss. Even less in front of others. Even worse when the boss goes on and on and is yelling while you can't say a word. Now imagine this happens to you on national TV. Wow.

Much more minor is that he wants fighters screened away from him, sicne he doens't wnat them to ask for sponsorship and he oly wants to talk to the one fighter they are there to see. Thta already hints at his personality, but is soemwhat understandable.

From what I know about these guys is all three of them have been there since the beginning of TapouT. I was watching a documentary about the history of UFC and the interviewed them for awile and what I picked up was that they started dressing up like that because they got sick of showing up to events and not being recognized. So there "characters" if thats what you want to call them are what helped them to build the brand. I think they are great but thats just me.

on another note Im new to the forum and I just wanted to say this is a great place you have here. A lot of great info
