FORMER UFC BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION AND RETIRED CONTENDER SERVE AS ANALYSTS FOR FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: LEWIS VS. HUNT

John Gooden and Call Fights from New Zealand

LOS ANGELES – Former UFC champion Miesha Tate (@MieshaTate) and retired contender Kenny Florian (@KennyFlorian) serve as analysts on the desk with host Karyn Bryant (@KarynBryant) for FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: LEWIS VS. HUNT on Saturday, June 10.

Retired contender Brian Stann (@BrianStann) joins blow-by-blow announcer John Gooden (@JohnGoodenUK) to call the fights live from New Zealand, while reporter Heidi Androl (@HeidiAndrol) interviews fighters on-site. UFC bantamweight Erik “Goyito” Perez (@Goyito_Perez) and Victor Davila (@mastervic10) call the Spanish language telecast on .

After more than 12 years as a professional mixed martial artist, No. 7-ranked heavyweight (12-11-1, 1NC) has never fought in his native New Zealand. On June 10, “The Super Samoan” returns home to face No. 6 (18-4, 1NC) in the five-round headliner in . On what is sure to be an emotional night, Hunt looks to stop the rise of Lewis, who has won six in a row in the Octagon, five by knockout.

FOX UFC analyst says fans shouldn’t miss the Lewis vs. Hunt headliner: “Somebody is going to get knocked out in this one. If you’re a fan of seeing big, gigantic heavyweights, throwing hell for leather in each and every single shot, then tune into this fight. Both of these guys have two of the most entertaining styles in the UFC. They’re fun to watch. Don’t miss it.” Watch the extended preview from last Saturday’s FS1 UFC 212 POSTFIGHT SHOW here.
