Jon Anik appreciation

[pride_rules]

I personally give Anik a ton of props. At 1st i could not stand the guy, he annoyed the shit out of me.
He even jumped on the Conor is god wagon. By this time he started to grow on me simply because he was putting in his time and getting good at his job. Learning the sport even.
Then it happened, he bet against Nate in the Conor fight, and keeping his word the man got a 209 tattoo
and has since grown to be a hardcore fan and now i would even consider him a historian of the sport and it is clear that when Joe is not around that he is in fact the head of the espn/ppv broadcast team now, and very well earned.
Hespect Anik

To what extent is he compromised, though?

Jon Anik bless

 

[boladiQup]

because of Jon Anik, i absolutely hate the word "materialize."

 

[Fossor]

UFC turns any nerd into a blood thirsty animal.
In the end he is going to run around shirtless screaming some shit just like Goldie.

 

[omawho402]

He's kinda corny, but dude is amazing at his job and I can definitely appreciate that! Glad he's around

I actually think he is by far the most annoying out there. He does seem to be fairly knowledgeable, but the way he tries to be mike Goldberg is so painfully obvious that i can't root for him

 

[ultra321]

No disrespect to him personally but his voice grates on me and when there's three of them he often gets drowned out but the others, then they react/answer and we're like what the hell did he say... Don't have that problem with Goldie Rogan Cruz or dc

Ya'll really don't know who Jon Anik is, do you?

 

[LeNoirNePasMerde]

Gonna be a hard no, fuck Anik.

 

[AmericanMMA]

I miss Goldie and his terrible play by play skills.

 

[Prelimtapper]

Makes me miss Goldberg

 

[chinarice]

Even though he sounded terrible last Bellator, I'd rather listen to Goldberg and everything that comes with it over Anik any day.

He isn't anything like Goldberg.

 

[Rorschachxx]

If he'd just stop that weird ass "HA" he does from time to time. That aside, Anik is the man.

 

[DS66]

Yeah he's actually really good at his job and seems like an all-around likeable dude. The main issue people have with him is that they miss Goldy, which isn't fair to put on him.

agreed
and also i feel like when he first started that he didnt know dick about ufc.
i honestly feel like he put in serious time and work into mma commentating
bet if you asked him what his 1st choice in sports would have been it would not have been mma. glad ufc got him
