Belal Muhammad is a great fighter in the Welterweight Division. He recently fought the Champion of his division and took the title away from him. Jon Anik, along with other famous commentators like Daniel Cormier, called this match.
Although these commentators have been announcing for a long time and are trying to be perfect, people have a different view of Anik after this fight. They think that he was commentating one-sidedly and favored Belal Muhammad. But Anik, who has a massive Social Media Presence, denies that.
Jon Anik Refusing the Allegations
Anik is known for his long-time work as a UFC commentator. He is also part of the Anik and Florian Podcast Group. This podcast has featured a show hosted by Muhammad and Anik’s twin brother Jason. Through this podcast, their bond has increased, and a strong friendship has developed between them. Even though some fans didn’t like how he called the fight. He is someone who wants everything to be perfect in every broadcast, so he was completely happy with how it came across live.
Friendship with Both Fighters
He made it clear to everyone that he has an even greater friendship with Leon Edwards, and they were friends even before Belal Muhammad was here. “I have interpersonal relationships on both sides of this. I go further back with Leon than I do with Muhammad. Tim Simpson, [Leon’s] manager, is a good friend of mine, and historically, for me, the call that has, I think, helped my career the most was something that relates to Leon Edwards.”
He also mentioned the podcast that they are working on and how Leon relates to it. “If you listen to the Anik & Florian Podcast, our show opens and ends with Leon Edwards saying, ‘Headshot, dead,’ right? So there’s a lot of connective tissue and interpersonal stuff for me on both sides of all of these fights.”
Anik’s Personal Thoughts
After Belal Muhammad won, Anik celebrated a little on social media. However, when it comes to broadcasting, he remains a true professional, calling the fights fairly no matter who is involved. Now that things have calmed down after the event, Anik shared his thoughts on how he viewed the fight before it happened, and his perspective might surprise some people. He revealed his thoughts about Muhammad after the fight and said, “I didn’t like him in the fight.
Can I say that now? Does that sound objective? I still believe Leon Edwards is the toughest matchup for him in the welterweight division, and Shavkat Rakhmonov, Ian Machado Garry, Sean Brady, and others are right there. And that proves that Jon Anik is doing his job. What do you think about the new Welterweight Champion? Let us know in the comment section.
