Jon Anik UFC analyst Jon Anik remembers the time he sat between Jon Jones and Rashad Evans prior to their fight at UFC 145. The interview was so long, it needed to be broken up into two segments. “They went 90 minutes straight, and after one minute (and 15 seconds), I didn’t say a word,” he told MMAjunkie Radio. “That’s really the goal, to stoke the fire quickly and get out of the way.” Anik didn’t have to do much for a “ UFC Counterpunch ” segment now making the Internet rounds: This time, he was between UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw (12-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and ex-champ Dominick Cruz (20-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who on Sunday meet in the FOX Sports 1-televised headliner of UFC Fight Night 81 at TD Garden in Boston.
