Jon Anik is about as professional as it gets when it comes to sports broadcasters. However, even he admits UFC 259 on Saturday is something of an overwhelming task. Anik, the UFC’s lead play-by-play voice, will command the commentary booth through a record event. UFC 259 marks just the third time in company history with 15 fights on the lineup, but this one greatly differs from UFC 2 in March 1994 and UFC on ESPN 14 in July 2020. UFC 259 touts three five-round championship fights on its billing, which makes it an unprecedented broadcast that could last well over eight hours depending on how many fights end by stoppage opposed to going to the scorecards. Anik is shooting for a high-level performance, as always, but admits the scenario is made even more difficult by a lack of run-up time
