"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.

The War Horse Khalil Rountree Jr.

As Dana White said himself about Rountree’s performance at UFC 307; you can’t measure heart. Maybe true, but we can certainly appreciate it.

Khalil just went toe to toe with the deadliest man in Light Heavyweight, and for 2.5 rounds it felt like we might see an upset in Utah…

Here it is, straight from the War Horse’s mouth.

Enjoy.
