"Both these men are of similar heights and builds, with an equal reach out here tonight. As well as the similarities these two may share in their professional lives, both of these fierce competetors have also been fighting their children's legal custody battles with their ex-partners in family court." ​ Why the fuck does this always make me crack up laughing?

This fighter has being battling with projectile diarrhea over the last 24hours Joe

lmao at least that would have relevancy to the fight man

Technically so would the custody thing, it could affect them mentally.

But if they both have the problem it cancels out... So technically not relevant!

AND WATCH OUT THERE HE GOES, DIARRHEA PROPELLED JUMP OVER THE FENCE!

Thats the shittiest TKO weve ever witnessed in a second round joe

Yoel Romero has entered the chat

[удалено]

His opponents performance once he starts flowing will be something we need to keep an eye on Joe.

Better have some good head movement 0_0

Man look at the redness and swelling, his asshole is done.

[удалено]

That’s what he said before correia vs rousey

You fucker, I was taking a drink of tea had to clean my iPad off .. 🤣🤣

Is this legit what he said?

Basically, https://youtu.be/le9jqLhl8ok

Rofl remember hearing that and wondering wtf that had to do with anything. Plot twist: winner gets full custody of the other's children

Custody of Dominick Ladder Match

GOAT

Gets me every time

Custody battles involving their ChildRE

I don't remember the name of the announcer, long time partner of Joe Rogan but when Cain Velasquez came out once he was trying to prove how Mexican Cain was and he mentioned that Cain's father was deported many times lmao my wife and I started cracking up

Mike Goldberg

I had to rewind it to make sure that's what I actually heard. How the hell did anyone think that was a good idea to write down on the cards?

Lmfaooooo oh god I remember that

Straight outta Goldie's playbook

This is what I’m always reminded of now. I really can’t believe this was considered good commentary on the similarities between the 2 fighters. I mean wow. Yeah absolutely fucking hilarious.

Maybe Anik thought that it'd make them both fight emotionally? But whatever his reasons were it was in poor taste and I believe he learned his lesson. The man really does work hard.

https://youtu.be/tYR-W27tQtI

Was this ever a big mma copypasta? Because it should be

I know this is a shit on Jon thread, but I genuinely find the way he says shit in his overly professional. It's so beautifully awkward but also smooth at the same time.

We're just making fun. He works super hard and is one of the staples now

Haha nah. He is the most replaceable of them all.

I used to not really like him, but over time he has become a staple in my opinion. But we are all allowed to have our own opinions, dno why you would be downvoted for yours

is this a real thing? Which fight was this? LMAO

“The fighter is 4-0 in his last 2 years and enjoys a 1.5 inch reach advantage. He’s spent a lot of time wrestling this camp and also grapples with self doubt stemming from his wife sleeping with his best friend. He hasn’t found out yet but he’s raising another man’s son. How about that new fight clock??”

Lol imagine Anik saying that many words in a row without reading three sponsors names and slogans He is essentially a vessel for advertising at the audience

Haha fuck, man. I can only hear this in Anik's voice, no matter how hard I try not to. Good work.

Lmaoooo

Honestly reminds me of the Mitchell and Webb look skits where snooker commentators keep going into the sexuality and intimate personal lives of the players that have nothing to do with the game being played lol.

It's the back story that sells

POV GSP submitting white male during 3rd round

Ariel Helwali : so we know you abusive dad was an alcoholic and this Saturday you will be fighting a guy who is also said to be an alcoholic and he will be punching you just like your drunk used to. Do you think this makes the fight personal for you?

Ariel: Just how *depressed* were you? -- That's my favorite scumbag line he commonly uses lmao.

Did he actually say that? That reads exactly like Ariel.

No, no he didn’t. Ariel would have said “like your drunk *dad* used to” at least.

Did Anik say some outrageous shit? Missed the fights..

He sometimes says random personal things about fighters that makes you cringe

Lol Oh ok yeah I get that, thought maybe he said something in particular this weekend that the post was referring to.

Don't think so, pretty sure this is still from the whole Chris Guttierez child custody comment

will literally never forget watching this live thinking... wtf anik

Same! I get the fights maybe 4-6 times a year and I happened to get that one and watched it live. My wife and I looked at each-other like WTF did he just say?

To me it’s always more of the timing. Sometimes it’s not even super personal it just comes out of nowhere.

It’s just that stupid fucking ESPN formula, they do it to all sports they broadcast

Does he actually have a history of bringing up fighters personal lives when the fighters themselves don't talk about it in interviews and stuff? The only time I can think of is when one fighter openly talked about his custody battle and the other one didn't and he happened to mention both. Which is still a fucked up mistake, but it's still the only example I've seen where he got personal about someone who didn't want it brought up. Is there shit I'm missing?

[удалено]

Omg lmao why have i never seen or heard this....jesus christ Jon

Lol yikes anik, let’s keep it relevant.

There was one from 262, I forget which fight it was from, but Anik said "{Fighter name} used to live in a nasty 400 dollar apartment in Florida"

[удалено]

Lol “I told you that in confidence John! It was private!!”

Brewed for those with a fighting spirit, "Going into this fight, both of these athletes have been in child custody disputes", find out the court results in 3 magnificent rounds.

Brought to you by Modelo, the best drink to wash your dirty cock mouth out.

still better than drinking one.

Who remembers: "And here's Andre Ewell, going through a tough custody battle right now" or something like that lmao.

This should be a picture of Jon Jones not GSP for smoking crack rock.

Yeah I got confused by the last line lol

Or like when he refers to fighters as being a father. E.G "Entering the Octagon is Toms dad" yeah we get it Anik you ate dinner with the fighter after the weigh ins and you found some common ground being a dad. Good for you man.

Michael Chandler is another one who has a weird fixation on fatherhood. I remember he kept mentioning how they’re “all fathers” in the lead-up to his UFC debut and it made me laugh after a while cuz it was such a corny, all-american babyface thing to harp on.

Whole lead up to that card was cringe, I hope killer mcgregor comes back for july.

Yeah unless you're a dad going thru it, then you're probably gonna root for the man even more

Cheap pop

The worst I heard. Was just out of no where. No build up or anything. Jon just says this guys dad is getting surgery to remove cancer. Then on the same card. His grandmother died so he went to the wake then hopped on a plane and fought. Like Jesus Jon why

Damn lol

Talm bout Matt Brown, b?

Lmaoooo Jon Anik never hesitates to throw out your personal business

Made a post about this a while ago how every fighter has this bullshit story, be it true or not that is just used for a week of hype and forgotten about. Super cringy writing

Talk about unprofessional. Dana needs to get that shit sorted out or it will be a problem

Wooooh there dont diss my man GSP, Aniks was probably sucking dick so people would buy his crack cocain

Is George still doing that? I’m not gay or anything, but the man’s a legend.

I love George but I just used him because his face reaction is perfect for the meme

You know I was making a joke right lol?

Hi dad, I’m Gullible

Hahaha

Good stuff.

Hol up. Was this guy in the falcon and winter soldier?

Any redistribution of this meme is ILLEGAL and PUNISHABLE BY LAW!

I’m waiting for the moment I see it getting reposted on Instagram for the 10th time lol

Lolszs

That body would've fucked up Kamaru Usman if that body was still in UFC today

Yea its really really fucking awful some of the shit he says on TV. It actually pisses me off tbh. It doesn’t add anything and is super cringe when he does that shit. Highly unprofessional for him to do that.

Even more cringe is Anik on his podcast with Florian, dropping a million F bombs trying to sound edgy.

f-bombs ? are they the stuff rogan used to talk about

You just wait until you hear a c-bomb. That’s next level shit.

Upvote for the caption!

Lmfao

LOL FUCK

😂😂😂

Everyone read this in Aniks voice.

Man it would be great if Anik just went full snark as a character trait from here out. Just throw in deadpan roast slams about the fighters, the staff, coaches, himself, whoever. With the other commentators doing either the hype thing or the neutral thing, the contrast of Jon just being fully bitchy and negative about the fighters would be hilarious. also because he's the "ad copy guy" he could just pivot instantly to corn nuts while everybody else is like "holy shit did he just say that"

10-8

Shoot that’s bout to be Paige van zant

💀

Maybe you’re confusing Jon Anil to Brendan Fitzgerald. Brendan usually say shit like that

[удалено]

Tbh I think Herb Dean is a pretty popular ref among casuals. My fiancée and most of her family don’t follow UFC too closely and they don’t know many names in the industry but whenever Herb comes on they always say they like him most lol

Herb and Mark Smith are pretty solid

It is casuals even? Herb is definitely one of the higher profile refs, if not The Ref after Big John's departure. I like Herb and it's rare I have an issue with his calls

I’m on the same page. I’d say I’ve only seen maybe 3 bad stoppages from Herb over the last few years. But Jason Herzog is the GOAT.

Definitely should have ended the comment at "no nonsense".

Adulterer?

It's like american idol...

When did Bob Saget join ufc?

You think it’s one of them things where you don’t want to say something but you just accidentally blurt it out? It usually comes out like that, just randomly in with stats and shit 😂

What does gsp's tattoo say?

Eat Pussy Smoke Crack, I guess. But seriously tho it's from the style and school of Karate he trains in, which also used to be on his headband and uniform in his earlier fights. But I'd personally still go with Eat Pussy Smoke Crack.

OK. What did I miss? What did Anik say?

2 people I Need to see knocked out within a year, Jon Jones, and Jake Paul.

Gold

Sometimes I really wonder if these back stories are made up or actually true

Anik claims he does extensive research into all of the fighters on upcoming cards. I’m sure some are distorted a bit but Jon just gives more information than what’s appropriate

Recency bias Joe: "We might be looking at the greatest comeback story of all time"

GSP goat

Modelo any good?

If you like water, then sure!

i live in the in th UK and always wonder if these beers are any good haha

Not sure if you have Newcastle there but I’d say they’re pretty similar
