Why does Anik insist on telling us how many times each referee is scheduled to work each night?

[TJ177]

He doesn't even tell us which fights they're reffing, even though he clearly has that information.

Why do I care if Herb is working his 2nd of 3 fights that night?

 

[DivineMind]

My word! You're right.

 

[GOAT BELT]

just random facts

who cares if you dont wanna watch and find out which fight he refs

 

[xmovingparts]

mute you casual

 

[anakq]

he talks so much shit my brain pretty much ignores his voice

 

[Flying omoplata]

Why do you give a shit

 

[Limit Smasher]

Who cares

Why do you give a shit

Because Anik's voice is already annoying enough as it is - him filling dead air irritates me. It's just meaningless jibberish.

Almost like it’s his job to comment on things

He really likes to throw out them baseball-esque stats. I don't know if they do it much anymore but I remember a time when it felt like everytime they went to an arena Goldberg would start off the show with "For the SIXTH TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here at (wherever)" Like oh, 6 is a such a significant number.

 

[CasualBot]

Still better than these awkward post fight interviews.

 

[TruthHurts001]

The same reason that Bruce Buffer fist-bumps the fighters...

In the almost 30 year history of MMA no one ever thought it was necessary to know how many times each ref worked.

He's not commenting on the fight, he's just commenting on pointless minutiae to fill air.

Dude why do you get pissy about it it’s just there for the few seconds before the fights it’s not thread worthy

I'm trying to do a public service to bring attention to it because Anik will keep doing it unless we hold him accountable.

I like his commentating tbh who would you replace him with

 

[Willek]

Would Anik tell us if Keith Peterson was "no nonsense"?

My fondest wish is for them to go back to the WEC days and bring back Frank Mir
