Jon Anik praises Dominick Cruz’s recent growth as UFC commentator

BAD MMA News — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 18:30:22 +0000

UFC commentator Jon Anik believes his broadcast partner and former bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz is hitting a new stride on the mic. A mainstay on the UFC broadcast team, Anik looks forward to spending more time with Cruz as a commentary partner now that he has retired from competition following a shoulder injury that prompted the cancelation of a scheduled bout in Seattle against Rob Font. “Dominick Cruz is certainly my best friend among broadcast partners,” Anik told MMA Junkie Radio . “The man I have spent the most time with on the road over the years, and I think, you know, the guy that I’ve leaned on the most in terms of helping me improve and reciprocally sort of helping him improve – just having an open mind to all of that.” Cruz has been alongside Anik in the commentary booth off and on for years while still competing in the twilight of his Hall of Fame-worthy fighting career. Cruz’s first whole show in the commentary booth was at UFC Fight Night 95 in September 2016. As his retirement approached and he focused more on improving his skills in the booth, Anik says it’s hard to deny his growth as an analyst.

Dominick Cruz pinpoints Magomed Ankalaev’s keys to UFC 313 title win vs. Alex Pereira

BAD MMA News — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:05:41 +0000

Dominick Cruz wants to see Magomed Ankalaev utilize his full skillset vs. Alex Pereira at UFC 313 . Ankalaev (20-1-1 MMA, 11-1-1 UFC) challenges light heavyweight champion Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) in Saturday’s main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas ( ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, ESPN+). Ankalaev previously said he won’t need to wrestle Pereira to beat him, but the former UFC bantamweight champion thinks that would be a mistake. No one has had an answer to “Poatan” on the feet at 205 pounds, and Cruz thinks it would be inadvisable for Ankalaev to follow a disproven path. “We’ve seen the streak that Pereira’s put together, it’s about time we see him vs.
