KENNY FLORIAN

Aside from being one of the top 155ers in the game right now, Kenny Florian is a excellent color commentator and has done a great job when he has filled in for the UFC’s Joe Rogan. Florian has tremendous knowledge about being a fighter and competing against elite competition around the world. He has a degree in communications so has a great manner of getting his point across, but aside from that he has tremendous passion for the game and brings a high level of enthusiasm and energy to the broadcast. After he decides to hang up his 4 ounce gloves he can make a very smooth transition into broadcasting in the MMA world. He already is a part of ESPN’s MMA Live and does a great job breaking down fights and analyzing aspects of the sport, in addition to interviewing some of the top dogs in the mixed martial arts world.

BAS RUTTEN

“El Guapo” Bas Rutten is one of the most beloved personalities in the mixed martial arts game. He was a fan favorite while he was a fighter, but his jovial attitude, hilarious sense of humor and free spirit has been infectious in the MMA community. It’s hard not to smile and have a great time while watching Bas Rutten on TV or even just hearing his commentary. He has a very strong knowledge of the game, is a former UFC champion, has trained fighters, commentated for years, done seminars, coached, cornered, and basically seen everything the game has to offer from around the world from the inception of the sport. He brings a very strong passion and spirit to the MMA commentating world, loves the camera, enjoys making people laugh and being an entertainer.
A great combination of being entertaining and knowledgeable about every aspect of the game.

JOE ROGAN

A mainstay in UFC broadcasts, Joe Rogan is one of the passionate MMA fans out there. A former Tae Kwon Do state champion in America, Rogan abandoned TKD to enter into the domain of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He loves MMA, grappling and everything to do with combat sports. He has no care for any other sport than MMA, and has a tremendous amount of respect for fights, and at the same time has a hilarious sense of humor and knows how to belt out some classic lines, as he is a very successful standup comic with legions of fans across the globe. One common thread about some of the top broadcasters in the game is their passion for the game, and Rogan is not different. He loves the sport and started doing commentary for free as a favor to Dana White. Now he’s relishing in a lot more financial success and is in the very fortunate position of being able to do something he loves to do, get rewarded for it and enjoy an amazing ride of traveling the globe from Abu Dhabi to England to Australia to Ireland to Canada and everywhere else to watch the UFC live and commentate on it.

FRANK MIR

A former UFC heavyweight champion, Frank Mir knows what it takes to get to the to of the MMA world. His knowledge of the sport is so vast, and the way he explains everything to do with the sport is so deep, intelligent and gives a very unique perspective. Every time you hear Mir talk about fighting you get the sense that he is almost a fighting philosopher and he has an incredible ability to articulate those thoughts better than anybody else I’ve seen. Being that he is a very successful fighter his opinion counts a lot and makes everything he says all the more important. Mir can easily become an MMA color commentator when he hangs them up.

PAT MILETICH

A legend in the Tri-Cities area, Pat Miletich is a former multiple time defending UFC champ, before it was cool to watch the UFC and before many people even know the term MMA. Miletich made it to the top of the MMA mountain and has helped so many others as well. From Jens Pulver, Matt Hughes, Tim Sylvia, Jeremy Horn, Robbie Lawler, over the course of years Miletich planted the seeds and help these fighters blossom into champions in the UFC and other organizations. He’s a very knowledgeable fighter, knows what makes fighters tick, and understands all dimensions of the game. Running one of the top gyms in the nation at one point, Miletich has seen it all when it comes to MMA and is a good communicator when it comes to getting his points across about what’s going on inside the cage. It’s good to see Miletich getting some coverage in the mixed martial arts broadcasting world, he is one of the fighters who was a champion unfortunately before the sport blew up. Just like Frank Shamrock was king before MMA was a phenomenon, Miletich’s success was reached just prior to the sport taking off into the stratosphere it’s in currently in.

On October 8, 1996, Bas Rutten defeated Manabu Yamada in the Pancrase promotion.

On September 1, 1995, Bas Rutten defeated Minoru Suzuki and Frank Shamrock defeated Takafumi Ito in Tokyo, Japan.

I say just be relaxed. If you can fight in the ring or the cage the same way you do in the dojo with no stress and everything is relaxed, you probably will win if you fight your best. But the difficult thing is when you get in the ring, your friends, your family, TV, everybody is there. Suddenly there’s a lot of pressure on you. To get rid of that, you have to set your mind.
