Rogan & Goldberg Won't Be Calling the Shows on FX
Jon Anik from ESPN's MMA live will be the new play by play guy and the UFC is still searching for his partner in the booth.

I like it. Would love to see Bas Rutten and Anik in the booth together. It would truly be like MMA's version of John Madden and Pat Summerall.

Much love to Goldie, but I don't think I'd be too upset if Anik eventually replaced him on PPVs.

Kinda figured they would get new commentators due to the increased workload..

I hope Randy Couture comes in as the color commentator..

Bas would be good too..

New commentator Jon Anik says broadcast partner will be a UFC fighter
by Dann Stupp on Nov 02, 2011 at 1:00 pm ET

Jon Anik still doesn't know who will be part of the UFC broadcasting "B team" with him.

But the list of candidates has been whittled down a bit, the UFC's new play-by-play man today told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).

According to Anik, UFC officials told him his booth partner will be either a past or present UFC fighter.

The UFC introduced Anik as its newest commentator this past week. The longtime host of ESPN's weekly "MMA Live" show will be part of a second broadcasting team to complement the current "A team" of Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan. The B team will handle UFC Fight Night and The Ultimate Fighter Finale shows, and the duo also will be involved in the live episodes of "The Ultimate Fighter" that debut next year on FX.

Additionally, Anik will host "Ultimate Insider," a weekly news-magazine show that debuts next year on FUEL TV.

As host of "MMA Live," Anik worked with the likes of fighter-broadcasters Kenny Florian, Stephan Bonnar, Rashad Evans, Pat Miletich, Frank Mir, Miguel Torres and others.

He said he'd be thrilled to work with any of them, but admittedly, he and Florian have developed a bond during their time together on "MMA Live."

"We'll see what happens," said Anik, who recently relocated to Las Vegas to work from the UFC's headquarters. "It'd be great to work with K-Flo. We know a lot about each other, and we have that chemistry already.

"I'm looking forward to working with one of the best UFC fighters, whoever it is past or present."

Viewers can get their first look at Anik during next week's landmark UFC on FOX 1 event. Anik is hosting the international broadcasts (Goldberg and Rogan will handle the play-by-play duties on FOX in the U.S.). But Anik, who was Bellator's original English-language play-by-play man, said he'll likely appear on the U.S. broadcast in some form next week.

With his final "MMA Live" broadcast now behind him, Anik now awaits his UFC debut. But as for his eventual booth mate, he's eager as anyone to get a name.

"I'm just really anxious to hear who it is," he said.

For the latest on UFC on FOX 1, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.c
Florian, Bonnar, Mir or Couture..

I don't want to hear Rampage try to string words together for 2 hours.

Bas was a past UFC fighter, really hoping it's him. Florian isn't bad, but he lacks personality. Bonnar would be cool too.

Rashad Evans would fit in perfectly, but he's in the midst of a title chase so I doubt he'd have time to do t.v. like Florian and Bonnar, who pretty much are done as contenders.
