There were mixed reactions to Jamahal Hill’s title win at UFC 283, as he ruffled feathers in the fanbase for defending Dana White after his domestic incident with his wife. As a result, the same group of fans were displeased when they heard Jon Anik refer to the new champion as “classy,” leading to questions about if the commentator knew about Hill’s remarks.
One Twitter user took it upon themselves to point out these comments, posting screenshots of Hill’s tweets and tagging Anik. In response, the veteran play-by-play man defended his statement, saying that he is basing his opinion on the fact that Hill has treated his fellow fighters and UFC employees with respect over the course of his tenure with the promotion, regardless of these controversial tweets.
“I am judging this man on 3+ years of the way he has treated our entire staff and his fellow fighters. As a competitor, this guy leads the league in sportsmanship. Ask his peers. ??” Anik tweeted.
