– During a recent edition of Submission Radio, Urijah Faber gave praise to Snoop Dogg’s work as a commentator on “Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.” Here is what he had to say…

“Man, I thought he (Snoop Dogg) did amazing,” Faber said. “The funny thing is, you know, what you get with Snoop is just a guy that’s being extremely real and passionate. It was cool. It was just a different type of eyeball on the fights. He’s a guy that’s just saying exactly what he sees. If a guy is laying on his back, he’s not thinking, ‘Oh, is he going to go for a kneebar?’ He’s thinking, ‘Why is the guy laying on his back?’

So he has a good knowledge of the sport from a spectator level. But it was fun to kind of teach him and just realize that like, this is just purely watching a fight with Snoop Dogg. Not him having to be biased, not him having to do this – even I made a joke that he was going to be banned from the first fight after the Conor McGregor fight because I think he was probably drunk and had said some stuff that pissed a bunch of people off.

But, I mean, the guy’s just real, so I can appreciate that and I had a lot of fun. The way he treated me and other people was pretty great, he was a gentleman and as real as it gets.”
