Same reason Anthony Smith works as an analyst. He's a smart, likeable and well-spoken guy on top of being an elite fighter.
Smith is good on Sirius XM too.

So people who have never fought like Jon Anik and Joe Rogan can call commentate but an actual fighter can't? Solid logic.Other fighters such as Daniel Cormier / Dominc Cruz / Tyrion Woodley / Michael Bisping are all multiple time current or former Champions and get to work the desk and commentate sometimes.
Paul Felder hasnt even fought for a title, is a fairly one dimensional kick boxer and has a multiple devasting losses on his record and is close to retirement. All i remember him for is some close fights with Edson Barboza where i cant even remember if he won or lost.

Where did this guy come from? Why do they let him commentate? Why does his nose look like that?
Is his commentary even that good?
I would like to see more entertaining people commentate and work the desk - imagine Jon Jones or Henry Cejudo calling fights? Why not get Frank Mir back in there?
I just think that you have to be a former champion for title contender to get such a comfy gig calling fights.

He served his country and was prepared to do whatever was asked of him, even if it meant putting his life at risk.Name one heroic act of Stann's. I'm so tired of the "every troop is a hero" bit. Dumb and astoundingly inaccurate.
OPs point is how and why did Felder get this role. Was he commentating for like LFA before he joined ufc or what. I enjoy his commentary as well but I'd like to know how he got that gig. It's a damn good gig and could provide financial stability when he isn't fighting. Many fighters would love to have that job.Dude who cares, if he's good at commentary why bitching?
I don't even know, I watch with Italian commentary.
Hes like Stann. Just a nice dude who can talk a little better than DC Cruz and even Rogan.
Fuck...felder could fuck my mom and id watch as long as he commentated the action
Imagine disliking someone who excels at both their jobs because of petty shit.Other fighters such as Daniel Cormier / Dominc Cruz / Tyrion Woodley / Michael Bisping are all multiple time current or former Champions and get to work the desk and commentate sometimes.
