Opinion: UFC should add second event commentary team

A UFC event lasts a long time. UFC 263 starts at 6 p.m. ET. With three five-round fights scheduled for the event, a 1 a.m. ET — or later — end time is not out of the question. That means the UFC broadcast team will be on site for more than that eight-hour window. That’s a long workday for the commentary team. With the three members of the commentary team tied to the desk for that long, it’s not a shock that they lose focus at some points in the broadcast. That’s why the UFC should consider two commentary teams for each event.
