Good to see Felder enjoying life after his carreer.

[@jackg2630]

Glad your checking up on him dad

[@bullmeatt]

his career is only getting started!

[@unkownboi67is_unavailable62]

@@bullmeatt he means fighting career ofc

[@angelosciandra8347]

What a pleasant comment

[@TheHeadown]

Indeed 👍

[@chikish]

Whoever had the idea to make these booth reactions into a series deserves a raise

[@blobber51]

@@c3bhm too bad he wasn’t here, I don’t think he cares anymore tbh. He didn’t show up because of a hunting trip..

[@bangbus2350]

@@blobber51 yeah but he stated on the podcast that he regrets not being there live.

[@Theone-xk8kf]

@@c3bhm they need a corner reaction camera! Imagine seeing the pure emotion of win and loss for the people who it means the most to right at that second like how they have for the commentators

[@Theone-xk8kf]

They gotta add a corner reaction camera

[@RTL2L]

Can we please have similar segment for Megan Olivi? She's so funny with her reactions!

[@The_Primary_Axiom]

I think everybody thought Alex was done when he was in that guillotine. I still can’t believe he survived that and then a triangle choke right after lol

[@YvanTDF]

And then still somehow had enough gas in his tank to immediately go an ground and pound Ortega. I mean HOW?!

[@ASR-ash]

Was held in that choke for about 10 secs too when the avg time for a man to black out is 6-7 secs. Man’s a different breed

[@felipeagado7943]

@@YvanTDF Actually it was the other way around: It was Ortega who expended all his energy trying to follow through on the submissions. That’s why he looked finished at the end of the round. Had this been in MSG, the doctors would’ve likely stopped the fight.

[@madgavin7568]

@@YvanTDF Its time to put some respect on Alexander Volkanovski's name, the man is an absolute stud and perhaps the only man at 145 on Max Holloway's level.

[@infotvnet9651]

Nice pic

[@boarders5]

When Anik said Diaz ain't getting up. DC & Felder didn't say a word but their faces spoke louder.

[@hellohi227]

Nick Diaz should never be allowed to fight in the UFC again. No preparation, and clearly no desire to even compete. Shameful to be honest.

[@lowlowseesee]

@@hellohi227 i dig it though. for one...he is like a woman beater so fuck him. and TWO....if he fights again he will be ready and in shape. or at least the chances he is are higher. he is disgusted with himself.

[@horsebeef]

At 10:45 Felder looks genuinely In awe. We're so lucky to have someone like him representing the sport. A true mixed martial artist. A true legend.

[@espada9]

I struggle with announcers who don't have a combat sports background but Anik has really grown on me, dude does a hell of a job and does his research. Happy to hear he's actually been training and might have his first ammy fight.

[@jfleming6870]

Why would a play by play need fighting experience? Stupid comment.

[@KydiaHimself]

@@jfleming6870 Facts, you don’t need to be a chef to know if something tastes good.

[@jfleming6870]

@Maybe, maybe not. Obviously mma is super complicated but a good play by play in any sport knows his place and leaves the analyzing to the pros. Anik does that. You dont need any belt to know whats happening on the surface level

[@jkennerson123]

@Maybe, maybe not. That's what the color commentators are for...

[@michaelsweeney4754]

Idiotic comment. My god

[@eliswagata7986]

I really appreciate how far Felder has come as a commentator. He really seems to have found the rhythm while on the desk

[@my11badkids78]

Nice of Joe Rogan to lend DC his shirt for the evening

[@naciriy]

Great trio. Raw emotions. These guys must be exhausted when the fights are over.

[@aaronw2471]

How the hell did he get out of that choke

[@daghetto101]

He's kicking, working and moving a lot, Both guys are sweaty so the arms and neck slipped, Also Guillotine takes a toll on the arm, Ortega has to let go, plus Ortega is already battered/gassed/pummeled. Its not something you can hold on to for 30 seconds if a guy doesnt tap and obviously awake you have to let go to preserve your strength.

[@blu8762]

that was a crazy night my heart was beating hard af, cant imagine how the crowd was there

[@senthilvelan544]

I genuinely cried amidst all the adrenaline when Ortega looked up at the clock and Volk fist bumped him. Like hang on brother we're making history.

[@Autonomous_Don]

Jon anik looks like he’s constantly holding the front bar in a roller coaster ride.

[@bdawk511]

Felder was so proud of Daukus, gotta love the Eagles chant haha

[@YvanTDF]

I really like Paul Felder as a commentator

[@shortadollarhiphop4517]

Dude in the white shirt when volk got out of that triangle choke was fiiiirrred up!

[@painandpyro]

Everyone on the commentary team did great, but man this really made me miss Rogan's over the top reactions 😄

[@lukepentecost8886]

Bro in the white tee behind Anik was GEEKED over Alex escaping the submissions

[@BPBrutalPenguin]

5:56 is probably Sean Shelby chatting shit to Aljo about dropping from the fight.

[@afghanigun7661]

Fedor in white T shirt in background quite excited also ;)

[@Theone-xk8kf]

We really need Corner reaction cameras PLEASE

[@kxmdx5582]

1:15 Megan was startle there

[@suneoallan]

Lauren look she's being attacked by multiple people, in that final combo she's like the ref is punching too?

LMAO

[@JustMakinProgress]

we need more of these.

[@jorge.rubiales]

Megan looking at Felder like dinner's time....

[@samirmajiti7478]

This is PASSION !!! Comentary with Passion. Awesome , the best three to do it . And Joe Rogan of course is a legend comentator and he also does it with Pasion. Its like Fans comentating the fight. Keep it up UFC you the Best 💙

[@junssnow6415]

to see how DC a double champ and Felder losses their mind on how Volks escaped that submission attempt shows how Great Alex is

[@denmenace]

I just love Anik on the commentator booth!

[@naothi]

UFC should start making the commentary team, a team of 5. These 3 plus Rogan and Bisping. It's gonna be like Inside the NBA team.

[@serpzofficial1151]

They need to put the clips up next to the reaction

[@AntonAdelson]

TBH I think DC is the best commentator in that group. He actually watches the action and not the screen. He's like Joe Rogan, he's there because he IS a fan and not because he needs to needs to be paid to commentate. You know what I mean?

[@bryangunawan12]

everyone who's watching when Volk is on that guillotine had the same reaction like Felder's did

[@fredsmith471]

I didn't even know Felder was Commentating , just thought it was DC and Anik the whole time

[@samzeller8655]

Yo needs the fight vision in a little screen in corner!

[@colemiller3416]

Megan Olivi always looks traumatized by knockouts

[@parhelio___]

Still can’t believe how unreal it was being in the arena that night. That 3rd round took the energy for the entire night out of me. If you haven’t been to a UFC event, I highly suggest going to a stacked card. It’ll be a night to remember for the rest of your life

[@pradleybee7828]

I'm pissed I didn't go. Tickets weren't that bad either. First thing I thought when Volk got out of the first choke was dang wish I went lol

I love it when the commentators forget to do their job and just focus all their energy into watching the fight. They really love being there.

[@ishwithfish]

Anik and DC always in their groove. Love Felder but his timing is always just a bit off, steps on the other guys a bit. A few more years in the chair and he'll be awesome. Great insights tho that only come from a career in the cage.

[@BGLNZ]

I actually wish they could incorporate a view of the commentary team during a fight maybe a PIP in the corner or something. Dunno if that is corny or cheesy but the commentary helps keep interest in fights and is very memorable from fights over the years.

I love the moment at 12:12. Freeze it. Daniel's like 'Did you see that Paul!'. Paul's like 'I'm glad I didn't fight this guy'. Anik's like 'Do I still have to talk?'. The guy in the checked shirt is like 'Camera 4 now please'. The guy in the white shirt is like 'I bet a mill!'. And the woman between Felder and Anik with her arms crossed looks like she just hid a voodoo doll and is finishing her ritual.
