The next move of former Bellator announcer Jimmy Smith’s career hasn’t been decided yet, but he sounds fully prepared to test free agency. The longtime voice of the Viacom based promotion ended his 8 years in the booth this last December, having followed the MMA organization from Fox Sports Net to MTV2 to its current home on Spike TV. And while he didn’t end his run with Bellator on bad terms it sounds like he’s ready to see what the MMA landscape has to offer him (transcript via MMA Fighting).
“Bellator really made a good-faith effort to keep me,” Smith told Ariel Helwani in a recent interview on the MMA Hour.
