When Chael Sonnen was effectively banned from mixed martial arts and released from his broadcast contract with the UFC and FOX Sports, it left an empty spot on the anchor desk of UFC Tonight. The show used several fighters to fill in the spot to figure out what worked best and today finalized a decision to give Daniel Cormier the job:
UFC light heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier has been named co-host of Fox Sports 1’s ‘UFC Tonight’. He will join former UFC lightweight Kenny Florian as the show’s other co-host. Fox Sports announced the news Monday.
“I love being a part of UFC on FOX family and extending my mixed martial arts career,” says Cormier via press release. “The TV analyst role is exciting, fun and actually improves myfightingskills,because I see the actionso differently now.
