1-Paulie M was good as an analyst
2-the MMA guy is not an analyst. He was not replacing Farhood. Farhood does not do the job that the MMA guy was doing.

You have the guy calling the fight (blow by blow announcer) and the analysts. Farhood is an analyst. He doesn't call the fight.

I prefer the MMA guy over Gus Johnson.

I know what you're saying about Farhood, but Showtime has done plenty of shows where they've paired Bernstein with Farhood (before and after the terrible Gus Johnson era -- and I do agree with you that Johnson is even worse than the MMA guy. He's about as bad as it gets.)
