Sep 3, 2008 - 11:01 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Jim Ross updated the Q&A section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights. -Ross on his interest in calling MMA fights: Doing play by play for MMA isn't and has never been on my radar screen. So the answer to that is no. I do enjoy the MMA world and especially enjoy following the UFC. Some individuals have speculated with all the intellect of a pulled pork sandwich by the way that because I write about UFC on my blogs that I am in some way lobbying for a job. That's just more Internet fertilizer... As I have said many times here, there is only one other broadcasting job in the country that interests me at this point in my life and that would be broadcasting Oklahoma Football on radio." Powell's POV: Ross could definitely pull it off and I think it would be interesting to hear him call a non-WWE product again, but it sounds like he enjoys being a fan of the sport more than anything. Here's hoping J.R. lands his dream job of calling the Sooners game before he calls it a career. -Ross on Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture: "This match will be huge for the UFC....Lesnar the brash, talented, younger bad ass who wants to be the man in MMA. Couture the beloved man of character who at 225 pounds fears no one and has displayed courage time and time again in becoming the UFC Heavyweight Champion... Couture will be the hero in this scenario as he will give up over 50 pounds come fight time and Randy likely won't fight much longer while Lesnar is just getting his roll going." Powell's POV: And Brock will play the heel role, which comes naturally to him. This is the most intriguing match/fight of the year in any sport. I'm already counting down the days until Nov. 15. -Ross on the possibility of Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, and Barry Windham appearing in the Legends of WrestleMania video game: "I am sworn to secrecy and my lips are sealed but I will admit it is going to be fun to match up some of wrestling's biggest stars. You won't be disappointed." Powell's POV: I guess I never even thought about the Horsemen appearing in the game, but it only makes sense. That would sell plenty of extra units.
