An MMA legend in his own right, veteran referee Big John McCarthy has given up his in-cage duties and has inked a new deal with Bellator MMA to serve as commentator alongside UFC import Mike Goldberg.
Lending his expert knowledge to the masses, the man largely responsible for MMA”s unified rule system, and a trained martial artist himself, Big John will likely be one of the very best commentators in the sport today.
The former referee, is making his Bellator commentary debut this evening as part of the Bellator 192 team, and we now have his first official photo with his new braodcast partner Mike “Goldie” Goldberg.

Bellator 192 is one of the most highly anticipated cards of 2018. Featuring the first round of Bellator’s heavyweight tournamant, Rampage Jackson returns against Chael Sonnen in the night’s main event.
In the evening’s co-main event Rory MacDonald faces off with Bellator champion Douglas Lima, in what is one of the most important welterweight bouts in recent memory.
It’s a can’t miss event, so put your T.V.’s side-by-side tonight, because they’re going head to head with UFC 220.
