UFC re-signs lead play-by-play commentator Jon Anik to new contract

Jon Anik will continue to call UFC action cageside for the foreseeable future.

Anik, 44, has signed a new contract to remain as the lead play-by-play commentator, among other duties, the promotion announced Thursday. No details of the deal were revealed.

Anik, who started working for the UFC in 2011, was promoted to lead play-by-play commentator for pay-per-views, as well as select UFC Fight Night shows, after Mike Goldberg departed in 2017. Anik has been a fan favorite ever since.
