Anik is leagues better than Goldberg I don't know what y'all have against him.

Anik adds little but subtracts nothing; he's as close to a generic announcer as you get in MMA. He's fine.

Everyone is gonna feel real dumb when Goldberg is replaced with an idiot with zero memorable catchphrases and idiosyncrasies. Goldy is a doofus but he's likable and perfect next to Rogan.

The main problem with Anik was that they used to always team him with KenFlo & you couldnt tell their voices apart on the broadcast

Could it be Sean Wheelock? He's good, and since leaving Bellator I've only heard him do a few B-league shows on fight pass.

If Dana said this I doubt very much he's talking about any existing mma announcer, so it probably means somebody who does announcing for a more mainstream sport currently.

in traditional sports broadcasting a play-by-play guy does most of the talking; they tell you what's happening as it's happening. Essentially the things the average viewer (anybody with eyeballs) can see for themselves, like a ball being passed or a punch being thrown. The color commentary is to go in-depth on details the average viewer wouldn't typically know. That's where a guy like Joe Rogan or a retired fighter can explain the intricacies of a submission or striking setup.

Sure you could have two guys who do the in-depth stuff but you can see how it's mostly redundant, you don't need more than one guy to breakdown the finer details of a sport. Meanwhile broadcasting actually sounds really really weird without that mundane "[fighter] with the straight left. Followed up with another jab. He's keeping his distance." etc.

Robin Black is a colour commentator and he's actually not too bad in that role because he doesn't have the chance to get into meth-addled logic loops about how Eddie Alvarez is the opposite of Bob Sapp but not because Sapp is fat and fights in Japan. He does it for some B-league promotion.

Nobody has mentioned TJ De Santis. Because it's not going to be him. He's too good to be named ironically but not good enough to be named seriously. Poor TJ.
