Jon Anik reflects on three-man commentary team at UFC 208: ‘It was a challenging broadcast’

The most recent UFC pay-per-view was a challenging broadcast for experienced UFC play-by-play commentator Jon Anik.

UFC 208, which went down on Saturday, Feb. 11 and was headlined by Germaine de Randamie vs. Holly Holm, was the first UFC pay-per-view following the departure of long-time play-by-play commentator Mike Goldberg in December. Prior to his exit, Goldberg and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan made up the main broadcasting team the UFC used for major events.

In light of Goldberg’s absence, the UFC put together a three-man team with Anik, Rogan, and UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier to narrate the action for UFC 208.
