UFCs Jon Anik reveals the one rule hell never break as a broadcaster.

UFC play-by-play broadcaster Jon Anik doesnt have many guidelines that dictate his job, but one general rule sticks out among the rest.

Anik is one of the most well-known sports broadcasters in the world and is the main voice of UFC broadcasts. The energy and analysis that he presents during UFC cards are some of the many reasons for the sports overall rise in popularity.

In the middle of his preparation for a given UFC card, he always reminds himself of the one rule to never break during an event. This continued most recently at UFC 270 featuring Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane.

During an interview with FanSideds Amy Kaplan, Anik revealed the golden rule that hell never break as a UFC commentator.

I remember when I got hired in 2011 and I was in charge of doing the post-fight interviews for my first broadcast with them in 2012, Anik said. And he said whatever you do, whether its Conor McGregor or whoever, you cant give up the microphone. Whatever the F you do, dont give up the microphone. Ive only given up the microphone one time I believe and it was in the Philippines when Mark Munoz retired and I felt like he was going to give me the respect to give it back to me. As a broadcaster, once you give an athlete the microphone, youve given up control of the entire broadcast.

In addition to being the play-by-play man for the UFC, Anik also hosts pre and post-fight coverage along with hosting his podcast with UFC legend Kenny Florian.

Anik is arguably one of the UFC broadcasts versions of a swiss army knife, being able to hold multiple roles and succeed at them. But, hell never give up control of the broadcast to one of the many fighters who respect him.

Anik is an inspiration to many prospective broadcasters around the world and is arguably one of the most respected in the business. He is teaming up with Modelo, the official beer of the UFC, to give away cash prizes along with an exclusive UFC fan experience.
