What id say to Jon Anik calling mma fans" The lowest common denominator" These people are way you have a paycheck, and you make way more than most... Maybe the NFL is a better choice for you than MMA.... Also you guys are a bunch of savage cunts.. I'm here for it.....

I hope @Jon_Anik knows that the VAST majority of us love him and know that he’s great for the sport. The ones being negative and talking stupid shit are the minority and hate their own lives so much that they try to project that on to those in the spotlight. Fuck em! Do you Jon!
Don’t ever come for my man Jon Anik! https://t.co/l5PTTxmxYN

Jon anik is the man ! @Jon_Anik the best we have guys
We live at a time where the #UFC has not one, but two 🐐s in the commentary booth in Joe Rogan and Jon Anik. It's time for the fanbase & #MMATwitter in particular to recognize that. https://t.co/aEqN6I9iw9
My man @Jon_Anik is a legend on the commentary! https://t.co/g15ALcUxLh
When the toxic and awful culture of #MMATwitter wants to make the best commentator in the game quit calling the sport you know this sport has a problem. #UFC297 #MMA #MMATwitter https://t.co/RUyFdm6fDY
The best in the biz. A legend in the making. #UFC and the fanbase are lucky to have Jon Anik at the helm. https://t.co/grYaf1yvqR
Y’all better not make Jon Anik quit
Big thanks to @Jon_Anik for the recommendation with @KelvinGastelum. I will never understand the backlash anyone would get for an OPINION about something like MMA, but Jon and his brother Jason continue to be among the most decent people I’ve met within the space. Always a fan.
