"I am charged with creating the soundtrack for the professional lives of these fighters. That is my focus. I want to make every championship call count."
That about sums it up. Jon is arguably the most recognizable voice in mixed martial arts, with the most called fights in history of play by play commentary. His tenure with the UFC has spanned over a decade. Translation: if you can remember it, Jon most likely called it.
And we guarantee he remembers it too. Anik isn't just a pillar in the UFC's success, he's like a walking UFC encyclopedia. Seriously, listen to him effortlessly recall dates of knockouts like he's mf Mike Ross.
This one gets into the passion (and sacrifice) it takes to be the soundtrack to the world's top fighters. How much of Jon's ability comes down to preparation vs. natural ability? What's his relationship with DC and Rogan like? What're his favorite knockouts? How about the best crowd he's ever been apart of?
Enjoy.
