The praise for Pat Miletich‘s work as a Strikeforce commentator is both effusive and widespread in the MMA world. Just listen to what Joe Rogan had to say about him in Ariel Helwani’s “Backstage” video earlier today, and you’ll get a sense of that.
But what’s responsible for Miletich’s ability to turn complex technical knowledge into explanations even the most casual of fans can understand? According to him, it’s the result of many years of air travel.
“I remember over all the years before the sport was really popular, explaining it to people on airplanes everywhere,” Miletich told MMA Fighting. “People would ask, ‘Why do you have a black eye?’ Or, ‘What do you do for a living?’ I’d tell them and they’d say they never heard of it, so I got used to explaining it in layman’s terms.”
