UFC Vegas 31 broadcast team: Michael Chandler debuts as desk analyst

A new face is joining the broadcast team for UFC Vegas 31 on Saturday night.

Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie has reported that Michael Chandler — a former UFC lightweight title challenger — will be making his debut as a desk analyst for the event. Helping Chandler settle into his new role will be veteran UFC anchor Karyn Bryant and No. 5 ranked welterweight contender turned analyst Michael Chiesa.

Chandler has already handled some of the pre-fight programming, joining Bryant and Chiesa on the ESPN desk to film the latest editions of UFC Live as well as the Fight Night Pre-Show.
