UFC 264 is set to be one of the biggest cards of the year so far. Headlined by Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier III, the UFC and ESPN are bringing out all of the big guns for this card, and that includes Stephen A. Smith.
According to mmajunkie.com, the teams will feature a couple of big names from the world wide leader in sports.
The commentary team will be one we are all familiar with. Jon Anik will be the play-by-play guy with Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan providing color commentary with him.
The octagon announcer will of course be the legendary Bruce Buffer, who will no doubt be in one of his flashy suits.
The backstage reporting will feature the dynamic duo of Megan Olivi and Laura Sanko. They will conduct pre and post-fight interviews along with giving real-time updates for the event.
This event is so big that ESPN has decided to go with two different desk analyst teams. The main desk will have veteran broadcaster Michael Eaves paired up with former UFC champions Dominick Cruz and Michael Bisping. That team will also have the highest paid personality at ESPN, “First Take’ co-host Stephan A. Smith. Smith has been on the team for McGregor cards in the past. He has also come under fire from the MMA community for not having basic knowledge of the sport.
The second desk team will feature the other co-host of “First Take” Max Kellerman. Kellerman has been covering boxing for ESPN for decades now and seems more knowledgeable then his TV counterpart. Veteran MMA media member Karyn Bryant will be the anchor for the secondary team.

Many boxing purists seemed to be completely against UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor venturing into the sport to challenge Floyd Mayweather, giving him virtually no shot at defeating one of the greatest the sport has ever seen. Max Kellerman was one of those purists.
At one point Kellerman went as far as claiming that the Irish mixed martial arts (MMA) mega-star wouldn’t land a single punch against “Money,” but as we saw this past weekend (Sat. August 26, 2017) that couldn’t have been farther from the truth. In fact, “The Notorious One” landed more punches on Mayweather in 10 rounds than future Hall Of Famer Manny Pacquiao was able to do in 12.
On a recent edition of ESPN’s First Take, Kellerman praised McGregor for his performance against Mayweather and claimed that the way the fight played out was the best version of anything that could’ve happened (quotes via MMA Fighting):
“That was the best version of what that fight could have possibly been and I want to start out by saying, Conor McGregor deserves enormous credit,” said Kellerman. “He is an exceptional fighter. An exceptional fighter. Even among champions, he stands out. And what stood out to me for Conor the boxer – first of all, he’s making his pro debut against one of the best fighters ever and he’s early on doing enough to stay in the fight. That’s amazing. Even the fact that he went 10 rounds in his pro debut is amazing.”
While he did praise “Mystic Mac” for his performance, he also belittled it at the same time by claiming Mayweather’s age played a factor in what happened and stated that “Money” is walking away at the perfect time:
“What we saw was Conor McGregor’s exceptional quality as a fighter on the one hand and Floyd Mayweather’s age secondarily. I don’t want to take any credit away from Conor, so I’m going to focus on that – but also Floyd at the age of 40 has to stop fighting.
“There are a lot of young fighters, several at least, who would have knocked Floyd out on Saturday night. I know he wouldn’t have fought them the exact same way but that Floyd doesn’t go the distance with Terence Crawford, may not with Errol Spence. There are a bunch of young guys who would have beaten him up that night. That’s enough, he’s retiring at the perfect time.”
Kellerman then touched on his comments in which he stated that McGregor wouldn’t land a single punch, which he admitted was wrong to say:
“I was wrong to say Conor wouldn’t land a punch – he landed several actual punches cleanly. He won a few rounds early when Floyd hadn’t started fighting yet, which is amazing to me. But ultimately he didn’t really have a chance to win the fight and Floyd won in the way he did partly because he is an older, flat-footed fighter now.”
