In almost every television broadcast of almost every sport, one of the commentators is an athlete who has competed in the sport being shown. You never watch an NFL game without hearing analysis from a former football player, or a Major League Baseball game without hearing the voice of a former baseball player.
But in the UFC, the commentary role goes to Joe Rogan, who’s undeniably knowledgeable about MMA but whose background is in comedy and acting, not in fighting.
Matt Hughes says it’s time for the UFC to add a fighter to the broadcast.
