Jon Anik steps in for 'injured' Mike Goldberg and faces off against Joe Rogan at 155

[SinisterSpider]

BAS!!! please please please

 

[LongTermLurker]

I like Anik. People will bitch about him...same ones that bitch about Goldie and everything else.

 

[Appylion]

Bas !!!

 

[mmagoat]

I don't think it will make any difference. And Rogan will be as biased as ever.

 

[redban]

would have liked florian instead

 

[Da Speeit]

Good Combo, Anik is underrated as fuck.

Like the people that bitch about Anik being a robot complaining that Rogan is biased and shows to much personality. Perhaps they will balance each other out?

Nope, I never bitch about Goldie, but I can't stand Anik with his fake enthusiasm and screaming in fighters' ears in post fight interviews. He tries to infuse his presentation with enthusiasm like Rogan but it comes off all wrong.

He wont be interviewing. So one less thing to worry about.

He never comes across as trying to be like Rogan but to each their own.

You're right about the interviewing thing... for tomorrow.

I think he tries to replicate Rogan in everything from weigh-in presentations, to big finishes to post-fight interviews. It's always awkward and inauthentic, though.

 

[Gravy_Gecko]

Bas and Rogan would be a lot like Bas and Quadros were back in the day...

Two guys talking and having a good time while fights go on in the background.

 

[Swarthy]

Woulda preferred K Flo or Mir tbh.

I for one won't miss Goldie.

 

[adam199]

Anik's alright, but I wish they would put a fighter on the broadcast team once in a while.

 

[miraclecomeback]

This is a true changing of the guard

This I wish Anik would just let his natural personality come through.

 

[BROKENSPROKET]

The injury bug strikes again....

Just kidding, Goldberg is ill and Anik replaces him for the UFC 155 card alongside Joe Rogan.

Anik has always been the same. He was lively when he hosted ESPN's MMA Live.

He seems genuine enough for me.

I believe that is what we are seeing here, a changing of the guard.

I liked him on MMA Live. He's good for that sort of thing.

 

[BROKENSPROKET]

Oh no not Anik. Put in Mir or somebody.

Pat Miletich?????
