Mauro Ranallo, who was recently signed by the WWE to announce “Smackdown,” has another weekly gig.
Ranallo will replace Kenny Rice as the co-host of “Inside MMA” on AXS TV beginning March 25, according to a press release. Ranallo calls boxing action for Showtime and is also the former voice of Strikeforce.
“In a year in which I landed a dream job with WWE, my dream to once again cover MMA and work with my broadcasting brother Bas Rutten has also come true,” Ranallo said. “Filling the shoes of consummate pro Kenny Rice won’t be easy, but I can’t wait to return to AXS TV.”
Rice will become a correspondent for the program, which airs typically every Friday night after live MMA and other combat sports action.
“I am excited to step into the new role as a special correspondent, continuing to bring the exclusive access to our viewers that has been synonymous with Inside MMA over the past 10 seasons,” Rice said. “It’s a true team at Inside MMA and I welcome longtime friend Mauro Ranallo to it.”

If officials want to make an interesting fight for UFC 200 this July, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is down.
With rumors floating around about a potential return to the Octagon for former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, Cerrone wanted to make sure his name was thrown in the hat to welcome “Rush” back.
Cerrone recently moved up to welterweight and defeated Alex Oliveira after falling last December in a bout with UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. As typical Cowboy fashion, he isn’t sure if lightweight or welterweight will be where he puts his hat down for the time being.

Michael Bisping and Chael Sonnen will mix it up – outside the Octagon this time.
The two will be part of the March 20 UR Fight event in Phoenix that airs live on internet pay-per-view.
According to a report by MMAjunkie.com, Bisping is cleared to do the submission grappling event because it does not fall under regulation of the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission. Bisping was medically suspended following his February win over Anderson Silva.
Along with Bisping-Sonnen, the event features former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio in a pro wrestling match, Dan Severn vs. Tank Abbott in an MMA bout and Roy Jones, Jr. vs. Vyron Phillips in a boxing affair.
Bisping lost to Sonnen, who is also suspended from fighting in MMA at the moment for a failed drug test, back in 2012 via decision.
