Al Iaquinta hopes ‘constant mockery’ Snoop Dogg is booted off Contender Series

[Wild]

Al Iaquinta doesn’t think Snoop Dogg and mixed martial arts commentary should go together.

Most watchers have been pleased with rap icon Snoop Dogg’s broadcast work at Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series (DWTNCS), prospect cards that have been running once a week for the past month on UFC Fight Pass.

But Iaquinta isn’t a fan and doesn’t take kindly to some of Snoop Dogg’s words. In response to Snoop Dogg saying Jon Jones made Daniel Cormier cry ‘like a little b-tch’ at UFC 214, the 155-pound fighter, who also sells real estate, said he hopes Snoop Dogg is replaced on DWTNCS.

“Guy has no respect or knowledge of the sport or fighters. Constant mockery,” the New…

I agree. Confirmed gang members shouldnt be involved in mma. Doesnt help the image of a sport with idiots like war machine when we add snoop to the mix

I was excited when Snoop was announced, mainly because he has such a smooth voice. But that changed super quickly when i started to listen to what he was actually saying.

@Jack Lame 's point is also something i didn't consider. Agree 100% with that

Danas boy, no way they let him go.

WTF is Danus saying there? Looks like 'snoop dogg, he's high'.

"Snoop doggy dog" singing along to What's my name

 

[MMAHAWK]

I love it
It's so trashy it is must watch tv.
If Dana had a clue he'd get Ferrel from Yamma fame to do in cage introductions.

 

[KWingJitsu]

Meh. The DC comment wasn't that bad. That's what most people are saying anyways - just look at the memes. Snoop didn't make that up.

Its his lack of knowledge of the sport that is cringeworthy during his commentary.

"Rupaul is a guy" lol

Looks like Dana is saying, "You KNOW he's HIGH"

Considering the fucked up memes of DC crying the keyboard warriors have pushed all
over the internet I'm surprised people are surprised that Snoop feels comfortable saying what
he said...

Its a reflection of society people... We post some pretty borderline
disrespectful shit ourselves... Look in the mirror... this is you too

He's off my top 10 Myspace friends.

Yeah, snoop has room to talk about a warriors mindset after fighting a losing battle. Oh wait, no he doesn't. Everyone know "cuz" got booted out of Long Beach by crips that told him to bounce. He wasn't paying his dues (giving back to the community while profiting off of it (raps about lbc and crips in his songs)). They told his bitch made mark ass to to git and he got. But then made a YouTube video calling them all punks from the comfort of his armchair.

Talks shit about a man when he's down. Follows it with:

"Never talk about a man when he's down, you want to pick him up when he's down."

I enjoyed Snoop's commentary. He makes up his own terminology mid-fight. It's different and it's worth having multiple commentary crews to switch over to. Not as a primary play by play crew though.

 

[Yossarian]

People take shit way too seriously here. I don't have fightpass, but, listening to Snoop is an option right?

People as in Al Iaquinta? Al took umbrage to some cocksucker who knows nothing about MMA belittling MMA despite being a paid commentator for it, and calling a guy who would beat the shit out of him in 5 seconds a 'bitch'. Which is entirely reasonable. While he is an 'optional' commentator, it is still an absurd situation and more fighters should tell Snoop to shut the fuck up.

 

[Drake]

He's pretty bad...but he isn't going anywhere. But also...it's an entertaining bad even if it's disrespectful. That's kind of what's so good about Rogan. Along with knowing his shit, he's the most entertaining MMA commentator there is.

 

[Yossarian]

Al took umbrage to

Pretty much everything.

I was talking about people in general. See it as listening to fight companion, with Rogan, Callen, etc. Those type of commentaries are just for the fun of it, as if listening to fans talk.

It's just that Raging Al is not exactly a beacon of respect himself I guess.

Those fan podcasts aren't run by the UFC and Snoop is not actually a fan. Hence Al is correct in calling them out on it.

Dana is forever stuck in 1999 where snoop is still relevant and face the pain is edgy.he is that rich bald guy who is hopelessly clinging on to his youth

 

[SuperPig]

Faber is actually worse.

Snoop is just a stoned, drunk, guy that's ignorant when it comes to MMA.

Faber sounds like a complete moron because he tries to play to Snoop too much and just comes off as trying too hard.
