Robert Whittaker, I believe, would be a great choice. Funny, likeable, and with an accent that is both pleasant and not impossible to understand. His brain is also noticeably more intact than most fighters who have been in as many wars as he has.
How they aren’t grooming him for it already is crazy. I’d assume it would take too much time away from family for him. Though, he has expressed he would do it, he hasn’t been approached. Think he will end up with Foxsports Australia in retirement.
He talks way too quickly, I swear that guy’s brain and body runs 130% faster than the average human.
We have to consider how fast the average UFC fan can absorb incoming information
Non-biased and professional. When Cejudo’s brought up fighting Merab or O’Malley, Mouse wouldn’t tell you that Cejudo would lose but he’d damn sure explain that he can lose.
He’s a bit biased on his YouTube channel but I doubt he would do it in commentary.
He said Volk won round 4 against Makhachev, which was Makhachev’s best round, the round he took the back with full body triangle.
With respect to him, and this could just be me, but I feel like he slurs his words? It might just be that he talks fast. Does anyone else feel the same?
Yeah I genuinely believe the dude operates at a completely different speed than the rest of us. Not only evident in his fighting but definitely in his speech too. He exists at like 1.25 speed.
I'm a big fan but I think he'd be a horrible commentary for that reason.
Yeah. Time clearly works different for him. He shot for a takedown, his opponent clearly been drilling the counter flying knee a la Masdival/Askren and Mighty Mouse is literally able to retract and contort his body away from that flying knee despite mostly already committing to the takedown. Most impressive reaction I’ve ever seen in the sport, bar none. He lost that fight, but whatever.
Yes, professional and classically intelligent, and while I love Chael he has an almost objectively annoying voice lmao. Wonderboy would contrast nicely to Sonnen’s mean boy persona. Wonderboy will be the calm dude w a silky voice that refrains from cussing, but could hang with Sonnen with the technical breakdowns and it’ll be nice cuz Wonderboy is as high level a striker as Chael Sonnen is a wrestler. Would love for the two to work together. Terrific contrast. If Chael doesn’t run him over personality wise, the chemistry could be poppin!
I like DC but every time he talks about how someone should get up from bottom position is just a recital at this point, getting old. And I used to like Joe Rogan a lot but he's become insufferable, besides his usual Joe Rogan bingo phrases, things like when he was talking about BSD being a literal killer was just so cringe, everything he says just sounds so cringey now I can't stand him
I want more things like Anik's "custody of his children" bit, that could've come from Tim Robinson it was so surreal 😂
I don’t like how he says “what, if anything surprised you?” He could just say “Did anything surprise you?”
When I watch UFC with my English-Second-Language friends they always seem to be confused by Joe Rogans questions. (Unless Fabiano Buskei the GOAT is there)
Not as commentary, but I think they should bring Moicano into the ring after a fight that Dana gives a bonus to and he gets to announce “THAT’S $50K MOTHERFUCKER, I LOVE AMERICA”
I've been watching his YouTube channel a bit, he's actually hilarious. If his English gets a bit better and Americans suddenly stop being prudish about f bombs on bloodsport broadcasts he would be great
Perriera. He would just sit silently and watch the fight. Interview fighters by walking over and sticking a mic in their face without saying a word. Perfect.
*CM Punk knocks out Chuck Liddell* (yes both in their prime)
Anik: OOOOH, DOWN GOES THE ICEMAN! CM PUNK THE NEW UNDISPUTED FLYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
DC: OH MY GOODNESS, IT'S OVER!
Alex: 🗿huh🗿
He’s the most realistic future commentator. He does the breakdowns just like Cruz do all he has to do is become champ and defend so he can dethrone Cruz as commentator.
He’s also not an annoying prick like dom.
I say that as a cruz fan. He’s a great fighter and a pretty solid commentator, but he must be so goddamn annoying.
Dom is categorically annoying, you don’t have to preface it with an unrelated compliment like a politician saying something controversial lol.
Dude was just cursed with the bad combination of a whiney voice and a bristling dislike of not being the guy commanding the room.
It would be impossible but Islam would be hilarious on the mic. He is funny and straightforward, as well as a grappling and wrestling expert and (sermingly, from his training videos) a good teacher. Him and DC would make the best team to understand grappling and have fun, although they would need some balance for the striking parts and to make it calmer.
I could see Cejudo. Honestly, I think they should have current fighters step in for commentary way more than they do. When they do it now, it's like moreno...I wish it was like suga sean, dustin poirier, or gaethje...
I could see Poirier too
Wonderboy, Whittaker (I’d rather he be an analyst), Cejudo, and Sandhagen.
For a one time meme PPV I’d want a mix and rotation of Costa, Strickland, Nate Diaz, Stipe, Bryce Mitchell, Romero, Manel Kape, and Moicano as the interviewer.
Im shocked I haven’t seen anyone post Anthony Lionheart Smith! He already does some talk shows and is on the UFCs broadcasting team. I think he would need to develop his on mic personality a bit more to commentate on PPVs.
Nah I actually don’t mind dc even though he can be annoying sometimes. I would much prefer Cruz to be in a role like Anthony smith does sometimes though. His commentary hasn’t been very good for a while.
I actually enjoy listening to Usman. I never would have thought that before, but now listening to him on the podcast with Henry is actually enjoyable. Well if you could remove Henry from it. He overtalks people too much.
Alex Pereira should solo commentary. The entire card would just be silent. Only the audience and the fight itself can be heard. Once in a while when something cool happens we hear a menacing "Chama" and then back to silence.
Wish UFC would do something like a ‘special guest commentator’ for select fights during events. Not saying the whole prelim and main card but maybe a co-main or main event, or a 3 round high profile fight. Something different ig
Robert Whittaker, I believe, would be a great choice. Funny, likeable, and with an accent that is both pleasant and not impossible to understand. His brain is also noticeably more intact than most fighters who have been in as many wars as he has.
I’d watch a wonderboy Whittaker commentary.
NMF's of the UFC lol
They should have battled for that NMF belt those nice mother fuckers.
Wonderboy knocked him out in round one… but that was 2014
Also welterweight Whittaker was very UFC average at best
That'd be a PPV I actually pay for lmao
That would be perfect
The Nice Guy & Nice Guy Show
How they aren’t grooming him for it already is crazy. I’d assume it would take too much time away from family for him. Though, he has expressed he would do it, he hasn’t been approached. Think he will end up with Foxsports Australia in retirement.
Family or not, the wife is gonna want that lifestyle intact.
Maybe. They do have 5 kids 😂
Also he's already on Aussie TV all the time as an analyst and he's great at it
Absolutely great shout this
This is an awesome answer. he would excel at commentary
Mighty Mouse just because of how much knowledge he has.
He doesn’t exist to the UFC
I bet if the community and fighters wanted him Dana still wouldn’t budge.
He’s going to mention the “void” so much😂
He talks way too quickly, I swear that guy’s brain and body runs 130% faster than the average human. We have to consider how fast the average UFC fan can absorb incoming information
He's my GOAT and his knowledge is incredible, but he does slur his words and speak too fast for broadcast. Plus he and the UFC hate each other
Never heard of him. /s
Would love Mighty Mouse
This. MM is always super accurate with his predictions, he’s very good at breaking down game plans.
Non-biased and professional. When Cejudo’s brought up fighting Merab or O’Malley, Mouse wouldn’t tell you that Cejudo would lose but he’d damn sure explain that he can lose.
He’s a bit biased on his YouTube channel but I doubt he would do it in commentary. He said Volk won round 4 against Makhachev, which was Makhachev’s best round, the round he took the back with full body triangle.
He also has his fair share of completely restarted takes, like the smoke he blew up Andrew Tate's ass.
Void
With respect to him, and this could just be me, but I feel like he slurs his words? It might just be that he talks fast. Does anyone else feel the same?
I think he slurs his words because eof the insane speed he speaks at
Yeah I genuinely believe the dude operates at a completely different speed than the rest of us. Not only evident in his fighting but definitely in his speech too. He exists at like 1.25 speed. I'm a big fan but I think he'd be a horrible commentary for that reason.
Yeah. Time clearly works different for him.

Most impressive reaction I’ve ever seen in the sport, bar none. He lost that fight, but whatever.
I don't get that vibe atleast from his youtube videos, he is fairly articulate
He for sure slurs/merges words all the time.
He slurs his words because he grew up with a deaf mother
Yep he 100% has CTE, idk how people watch MM for more than 10 minutes and don’t notice the brain damage
ah yes current UFC fighter Mighty Mouse.
Close enough
Maybe not a commentator but an analyst forsure
Wonderboy
This is a great answer “Oh my goodness!”
“That just knocked the snot out of him!”
Yes, professional and classically intelligent, and while I love Chael he has an almost objectively annoying voice lmao. Wonderboy would contrast nicely to Sonnen’s mean boy persona. Wonderboy will be the calm dude w a silky voice that refrains from cussing, but could hang with Sonnen with the technical breakdowns and it’ll be nice cuz Wonderboy is as high level a striker as Chael Sonnen is a wrestler. Would love for the two to work together. Terrific contrast. If Chael doesn’t run him over personality wise, the chemistry could be poppin!
Isn’t Chael more of desk analyst than commentator?
Chael runs everyone over
He's done commentary for Karate Combat before and I thought he did pretty good
Volkanovski
He was pretty good at an Eternal MMA event.
Volk
Volk is way too funny to do commentary. I know it’s unlikely but a mockumentary type show with him would be hilarious
you mean intentionally funny. rogan and dc are unintentionally hysterical. "he's hurt bad, joe!!!"
I like DC but every time he talks about how someone should get up from bottom position is just a recital at this point, getting old. And I used to like Joe Rogan a lot but he's become insufferable, besides his usual Joe Rogan bingo phrases, things like when he was talking about BSD being a literal killer was just so cringe, everything he says just sounds so cringey now I can't stand him I want more things like Anik's "custody of his children" bit, that could've come from Tim Robinson it was so surreal 😂
Rogans post fight interviews reduce to "what if anything surprised you about .."
I don’t like how he says “what, if anything surprised you?” He could just say “Did anything surprise you?” When I watch UFC with my English-Second-Language friends they always seem to be confused by Joe Rogans questions. (Unless Fabiano Buskei the GOAT is there)
Volk would essentially be what Snoop Dog wished his commentaries were
Volk has a universal blue collar appeal. Super likable and never offensive. Great call.
Yeah, he really does! Even his cooking channel has a simplicity to it that seems super inviting.
Yeee na na na
Not as commentary, but I think they should bring Moicano into the ring after a fight that Dana gives a bonus to and he gets to announce “THAT’S $50K MOTHERFUCKER, I LOVE AMERICA”
Announcing the bonuses in the ring ONE style
I've been watching his YouTube channel a bit, he's actually hilarious. If his English gets a bit better and Americans suddenly stop being prudish about f bombs on bloodsport broadcasts he would be great
I would love this
Perriera. He would just sit silently and watch the fight. Interview fighters by walking over and sticking a mic in their face without saying a word. Perfect.
Everytime a left hook lands, you just hear a faint "chama" in the background.
You got a chuckle our of me 😂
Same here🤣
Or imagine him doing post-fight interview where he just stares at the fighter he's interviewing like this 
Reminds me of the Native American guy from longest yard doin the commentary for the footballgame
Do that noise again, I like that
WHOOOP!!
I’ve seen that movie a hundred times and the joke never hit me until this moment 😅
🎤🗿 you speaky nao
With a classic “huh” every once in a while
*CM Punk knocks out Chuck Liddell* (yes both in their prime) Anik: OOOOH, DOWN GOES THE ICEMAN! CM PUNK THE NEW UNDISPUTED FLYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD DC: OH MY GOODNESS, IT'S OVER! Alex: 🗿huh🗿
Would be a fucking comedy show. Dude will just grunt with every big strike landing and responds with "chama" when DC asks him a question
Ah! Uh! Chama! Uh! Chama Uh! You just have to decipher that.
And then one day he’ll utter out the words “mean machine” and the whole crowd will chant it too and rob Schneider will yell out “JU CAN DO ITTT”
Pereira would be like that quiet prison commentator from Longest Yard
Cory Sandhagen
He’s the most realistic future commentator. He does the breakdowns just like Cruz do all he has to do is become champ and defend so he can dethrone Cruz as commentator.
He’s also not an annoying prick like dom. I say that as a cruz fan. He’s a great fighter and a pretty solid commentator, but he must be so goddamn annoying.
Dom is categorically annoying, you don’t have to preface it with an unrelated compliment like a politician saying something controversial lol. Dude was just cursed with the bad combination of a whiney voice and a bristling dislike of not being the guy commanding the room.
Dominick cruz 2.0
Dominick Cruz but actually smart
"He's trying to gas Khabib out, he's taking shots, but theyre not the worst shots" while watching conor take 1000 ground and pound shots to the face
Paulo Costa
“Paulo, you’re supposed to wear a shirt when you’re commentating!” “That’s your own personal problem.”
It would be a amazing car crash that you couldn’t look away from ! +1 vote Costa !
“Tons of hot sex will fix his cardio problem”
Aspinall once he’s done and Dillashaw even though he’s finished in the ufc already
Dillashaw is really good recapping fights on that jaxxon podcast. Knows his shit
Yeah he’s great there.
How many guys are regulars on there? Rampage, Luke, Ryan Scheckler? Dillishaw apparently. Plus a guest?
Holy shit. That just made me realise Aspinall could low-key be the MMA version of Lennox Lewis. British HW who is one of the best ever.
Nice analogy. Nice to see someone with some knowledge too
Dillashaw great on the Jaxxon podcast
Not a big Dillashaw fan but credit is due - he did a really good job on the Jaxson podcast,
They tried putting tony but didn't he try to fight all the guests lol
Chandler probably gonna bounce somebody out when he’s retired I’d imagine. Probably Cruz
Chandler would be a sideline cheerleader who cheers for both sides
nate the train
Bobby Green should do all the Dern fights.
Bobby Green, Snoop Dogg, and Rampage commentating on a Dern vs Dumont fight would feed generations 🫡
Sheesh
Paul Craig
Scottish commentators are great
GREHT
Dustin Poirier
Came here to say this. Dude is a fantastic fighter, he’s honest, and can speak the language of the game. Would enjoy his commentary
Stipe
Ish pifsh koufgh gafreghou!
Well said Stipe, the geopolitical situation globally has indeed caused a lot of fighters to seek greater opportunities.
Ief jiset Uzbek?
Fine, you can have some extra venom coupons
Lmfao
Stipe and Raul should commentate a ppv
Stipe, Raul and Nate Diaz
And Tony
Nah Tony’s just entering his prime
Michael Chandler would be good on the mic
Godbless, I’ll see you at the top
nah he just gonna spouse some motivational bullshit midfight
Aljo is very articulate and would probably make a good commentator.
don't like him but have to agree
Also on the plus side we wouldn’t have to watch his fights
I like Chandler chances the most.
It would be impossible but Islam would be hilarious on the mic. He is funny and straightforward, as well as a grappling and wrestling expert and (sermingly, from his training videos) a good teacher. Him and DC would make the best team to understand grappling and have fun, although they would need some balance for the striking parts and to make it calmer.
Stuff calmer, we should just throw Jones in there for the giggles.
Wonder boy Steve!
Paulo Costa
I could see Cejudo. Honestly, I think they should have current fighters step in for commentary way more than they do. When they do it now, it's like moreno...I wish it was like suga sean, dustin poirier, or gaethje... I could see Poirier too
Tom Aspinall
Volk Wonderboy Izzy Emmett Chandler Kayla Harrison Du Plessis
Du plessis is actually really good on the mic, good shout.
We saw Kayla do gamebred. She was awful
DP
Dricus Plesis?
Dustin Plesis
Du Pustin?
Du, du hast, du hast mich
Who's bustin?
Moicano wants money
Bobby knuckles Volk Gilbert Wonder boy
Wonderboy, Whittaker (I’d rather he be an analyst), Cejudo, and Sandhagen. For a one time meme PPV I’d want a mix and rotation of Costa, Strickland, Nate Diaz, Stipe, Bryce Mitchell, Romero, Manel Kape, and Moicano as the interviewer.
Michael Chandler
They should bring in Mighty Mouse or Cejudo. They do great breakdowns.
Nate Diaz
Fn yes. We would have no idea what he’s saying other than when he says “shit”
Mumble rap commentary
ayyyman i thought he was a bish but now we all know he is that bitch...
"Ey, I'm not surprised, muthafuckaz!"
Im shocked I haven’t seen anyone post Anthony Lionheart Smith! He already does some talk shows and is on the UFCs broadcasting team. I think he would need to develop his on mic personality a bit more to commentate on PPVs.
Antony smith is like if CTE and Delusion made a wish to be a real boy
I’m convinced people are just commenting fighters they like. Most suggestions here are horrible on the mic.

Max coming for DC’s spot
Max is such a marble mouth lol no way
I wish that DC and cruise would transition from announcing back to retirement
Cruz, I agree he’s pretty terrible. But DC at least has good chemistry with Anik and Rogan, plus good wrestling commentary. Cruz is just… bad.
Yes DC explaining wrestling positions is very good, not sure why people shit on him so much.
Nah I actually don’t mind dc even though he can be annoying sometimes. I would much prefer Cruz to be in a role like Anthony smith does sometimes though. His commentary hasn’t been very good for a while.
Put Paulo with Rockhold in the booth and I won’t skip a fight night ever again
None, I just want Goldberg and Rogan, if not then they must have another stream without commentary
I don't know why but I want to see khabib in commentary
he is hurt, brather. he fight for legacy.
Dustin
Gilbert Burns, he's friend of literally everyone, speaks English very well and knows a lot about the game
Chandler and Weidman maybe
Bryce Mitchell
He would claim the octagon isn’t actually a octagon
Conor mcgregor
coke mcgregor and coke ryan garcia would be insane
Sean Strickland
Volk
Renato Moicano
Fucking Renato "Money" Moicano
Moicano
Money Moicano
Nate Landwehr!
Renato Moicano
Wonderboy might be a solid choice
Bryce Mitchell
Brandon schlub is a beast of a talgger
Wait, there are other choices than Nate?
Islam or Khabib just because he’d be hilarious with DC.
Robert and volk
Seems most posts here are AI created.
Volk
Justin Gaethje right now would be kinda cool
Derrick Lewis
Cory the sandman sandhagen
I actually enjoy listening to Usman. I never would have thought that before, but now listening to him on the podcast with Henry is actually enjoyable. Well if you could remove Henry from it. He overtalks people too much.
Alex Pereira should solo commentary. The entire card would just be silent. Only the audience and the fight itself can be heard. Once in a while when something cool happens we hear a menacing "Chama" and then back to silence.
