Sep 16, 2024

Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast with our guest Jon Anik, the best play-by-play commentator in sports you will often find cage side next to Joe Rogan calling fights for the UFC! Jon earned the love and loyalty of millions of fans through his extreme preparation for the live events, his relatability, vulnerability and humanity he shows in interviews and twice a week alongside his co-host Kenny Florian on the extremely popular Anik and Florian Podcast!

This son of an accountant enjoys golfing, a good run and a good challenge and continually rises to the occasion bringing his A-Game to every opportunity in front of him. He went from a newspaper journalist, hosting A boxing radio show and working at ESPN when one fateful night in Tunica, Mississippi everything changed as he attended his first live MMA event and has since earned himself the best seat in the house using his broadcast background and Skills to earn the best seat in the house for the pinnacle of the best sport in the world The Ultimate Fighting Championship!

He has the brain, the voice, the heart and the integrity to do anything he wants in life and business including hopefully one day fulfilling his dream of calling an NFL game. As a fan, podcast host and entrepreneur this was an absolute honor Jon was nice enough to find time in his extremely busy schedule and share his limited time with all of us this week. Enjoy the conversation!
