UFC commentator Jon Anik believes his broadcast partner and former bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz is hitting a new stride on the mic.
A mainstay on the UFC broadcast team, Anik looks forward to spending more time with Cruz as a commentary partner now that he has retired from competition following a shoulder injury that prompted the cancelation of a scheduled bout in Seattle against Rob Font.
“Dominick Cruz is certainly my best friend among broadcast partners,” Anik told MMA Junkie Radio. “The man I have spent the most time with on the road over the years, and I think, you know, the guy that I’ve leaned on the most in terms of helping me improve and reciprocally sort of helping him improve – just having an open mind to all of that.
