Will Jon Anik’s Twin Brother Join Welterweight Contender for Commentary on UFC Fight Pass?
APFC 7 is set to feature a commentary duo that has caught the attention of MMA enthusiasts. Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, who recently ventured into promoting with APFC, has unveiled an intriguing lineup for their upcoming event on September 3, exclusively available on UFC Fight Pass.
According to a report by MMA News, joining UFC welterweight contender Belal Muhammad in the commentary booth will be none other than Jason Anik, the twin brother of renowned commentator Jon Anik. The announcement has piqued interest among fans, familiar with Jon’s commentary prowess. Jason Anik, apart from his resemblance to his brother, runs the “Remember The Show” podcast with Muhammad, adding an exciting dynamic to their commentary partnership.
Jason Anik’s involvement brings a unique facet to the broadcast, extending beyond his familiar face. While he’s an accomplished entrepreneur, his podcast venture and two-year-long MMA gameshow, “Remember The Show,” reveal his engagement with the sport. On Twitter, Jason expressed gratitude for the opportunity and playfully hoped he wouldn’t tarnish his twin’s reputation.
Belal Muhammad’s transition to commentary from his ESPN desk and weigh-in show appearances further elevates the anticipation for APFC 7. The event promises to deliver not only thrilling fights but also an intriguing commentary experience, as the Anik brothers’ bond extends to the commentary booth. MMA enthusiasts eagerly await the event to witness if the gift of commentary runs in the family.
Amidst the spotlight on UFC commentator Jon Anik, a familiar face often remains in the shadows: Jason Anik, his identical twin. While Jason might not be a household name like his brother, their uncanny resemblance often confuses audiences. Hailing from a Jewish family in Boston, Massachusetts, the Anik twins share not only genes but also a close-knit bond.
Jason’s personal life reveals a flourishing family. Married to Amanda Stewart Anik, he is a doting father to two daughters. Amanda, not just a mother and wife, is a marketing executive who co-founded the wellness company Thrive-gang. She boasts a remarkable career, including significant stints at Chewey and Bluegreen Vacations.
Jason Anik has carved a niche as a successful entrepreneur. Founding Slim Stone USA alongside Amanda in 2020, he currently holds the role of Vice President of Operations and Marketing. His extensive career also includes a significant 14-year tenure as Chief Executive Officer at United Check Cashing, where he played a crucial role in a high-volume financial services business in South Florida.
While Jon Anik’s commentary resonates with UFC fans worldwide, his twin Jason thrives in the entrepreneurial arena, showcasing the remarkable achievements of this dynamic duo.
