It's not harder physically.
I'd be willing to bet a lot more people could do fight commentary than dig holes in the arizona sun buddy. The hardest part of his job is reading commercials at the dumbest of times.
Pretty much this. Anik is actually good at calling the action. DC and Joe just scream hysterically
Rogan has called plenty alongside him too, though. Anik is PxP, Rogan is color, my guess is that's the distinction.

My bad, i updated the main thread slightly from Aaron Bronsteter.
Oh hah I actually meant MMA Orbit or whomever stole the stat that...spoiler alert, I put together and posted on social media. A bunch of people including Bronsteter for some reason misinterpreted it even though I was quite clear what the record was: Most UFC fights called on PBP, passing Goldie. Not most events, not most fights called overall.
Oh now it's more clear...... But like...... Why keep track of that? Lol. I understand being on the mic as a whole but why bother keeping record of play by play vs color vs whatever? Seems odd to me. Baseball level stats.
His "Not The Cloth He's Cut" Leon Edwards call right before he KO's Usman is pretty iconic.
Well I just keep the specific lineups of each event. Like PBP Anik, Color Rogan, Secondary Color DC, Post-fight Interviews Rogan, Announcer Buffer. So it's really easy to tabulate.
Yeah but Joe did it at a time when there were only one or two cards a month. Anik is doing it on a weekly basis and Joe has only showed up for select events for the last few years now
