Listening to Michael Chiesa commentate Venator FC 3 yesterday and hearing him do a really good job, I started thinking about fresh voices for commentary. So here's the question:
Which ACTIVE UFC fighters that are NOT already commentators or UFC on Fox analysts and have not already commentated the UFC or other big leagues (so no Daniel Cormier/Dominick Cruz/Tyron Woodley/Rashad Evans/Josh Barnett/Frank Mir. We need new blood) would you like to see get a shot at commentating a fight night event?
Note that we need people with sufficient experience in the sport (not less than 8 years at least), good command of the english language, a good analytical mind and a likeable, fun persona.
Here are my suggestions:
Pairing nr.1: Carlos 'The Natural Born Killer' Condit and Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson
Both are very likeable characters with a lot of insight into the technical side of the sport and a ton of experience. They are both well spoken, have big names and are generally well liked. I think DJ would profit from the additional exposure, and I believe Condit could prove himself to be very well suited for the job.
Pairing nr.2: Miesha 'Cupcake' Tate and Michael 'Maverick' Chiesa
Chiesa is borderline cheating because he did commentate yesterdays event. But he had a good showing and most people probably missed it, so I say let him have his day in the big leagues. These are both very chill, joke-y and at the same time analytically sharp people. And the UFC could benefit from and build on Tate's new-found hype and make her into one of the sports most presentable figures.
Who do you think would make for a great commentator?
