      Dana and Hunter have been awful as matchmakers lately, the worst in company history. It's bad enough that they should be fired from their role of controlling matchmaking. Why is Tom Aspinall not being allowed to fight for a title, when he was given an official interim title?

      @curtharakaly4620 20 дней назад

      You don't apply...your a "given" the role. Dana and Hunter are terrible at it nowadays too. They either make the obvious clear fights that anyone could make...or dogshit fights that make no sense and nobody cares about.

      I'm surprised that I've never actually listened to a podcast where a person dislikes Anik. Reading these comments, I can only find 2 negative comments. Anik seems to be the most liked, most revered person in the history of the UFC. He's very good at his job, but it's just not fun. It's not his fault, but I want to hear someone like Lucas Tracy, or MMA Guru on the microphone, someone who has world class charisma. Anik, Rogan and DC, are acceptable. But surely there is another level available?
