And you put 10 men in a room, you know you're going to get three of them that are going to fit that mold. So I'll deal with the other seven. It's real simple. And I don't like liars. I'm very honest in everything. I could sell an air conditioner to an Eskimo, but I'm not going to lie about it.
Yeah, it's a good question. I'm an equal opportunity announcer. I don't bet the fights. I don't go in like, oh, geez, I got five grand on BJ Penn. I think I better give him a big boost here. No, it's not like that. These warriors, male and female, deserve every ounce of energy I can give them. It's my job to enhance the moment for them and enhance the moment for the fans. The show is not about me.

These guys are like and women are like Kentucky Derby horses in the cage or in that gate before that gate opens. And my job is to get them frothing at the mouth and blowing snot like crazy. So when that door opens, they just go for it.

They called me the ring announcer for about six years in a meeting. I kept telling everybody until Dan said, guys, will you get this straight? I'm the octagon announcer. This is not a ring.

But you know what?
