I liked Jurassic Fight Club just fine, but it suffered from the affliction that so many modern dinosaur TV shows do where the commercials and previews promise a lot of awesome CGI dinosaur action and instead you get a couple of minutes that's repeated several times interspersed with talking-head paleontologists (or worse, non-specific "experts") filling the rest of the runtime with common or already well-known facts. When there were dinosaur fights, however, they were cool. For whatever reason, I remember the Majungasaurus fight being the most interesting.

When there were dinosaur fights, however, they were cool. For whatever reason, I remember the Majungasaurus fight being the most interesting. Pretty much summed up my thoughts on the show. I remember seeing the previews and I was pretty excited. But when the show premiered, it was more talk and less action. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind them going into the details about each dinosaur involved but when the show is marketed as "Fight Club", so I was expecting more Dino on Dino violence to balance out the scientific part. Going on a tangent though, this is also why I can't watch lot of History channel shows anymore. I liked to watch Curse of Oak Island, but it got to the point where it was all talking and rehashing OVER AND OVER again about stuff instead of any actual new information or action. I swear the show was 15 minutes new stuff and 35 minutes of regurgitating previous info. Right now, the only show on History Channel I enjoy anymore is "Forged in Fire".

A lot of infotainment is like that now. The first segment of the show is okay, but then after each subsequent commercial break they spend longer and longer recapping what has been said in the episode since it began that it renders them unwatchable. Guess that's what you need to pad 22 minutes of content into an hour runtime.
