With the announcement yesterday about the UFC moving on to paramountplus in 2026, I couldn’t help but reflect back on all the things we’ve done with our wonderful teammates at espnmma. 
I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite UFC on ESPN memories with you in the coming weeks. For me, the inaugural event back in 2019 was special and unique in a way that changed so much. It was a night joejitsu and I shared at work where he won a wildly entertaining fight against Dustin Ortiz and I served as the reporter for the first event in the new partnership. Essentially, that night was where our incredibly creative producer Zach started to experiment implementing me into shows more and more. Those small chances turned into bigger opportunities and evolved the reporter role completely into what you see now every fight night. 
Quick story time; I will never forget interviewing cowboycerrone while Joe was fighting and hearing the crowd cheer very loudly. Everyone around us gave me a big thumbs up to let me know Joe was crushing it - and then Cowboy (a fellow WEC alum like Joe) immediately had my back and was like “WAIT, your man is fighting? This interview is over! 🤣” so I went behind the TV trucks and prayed until the fight ended. Then I was back to work and waited to hug my husband backstage. That was a night I am so grateful for, that changed so much and gave us a bounty of blessings to celebrate.
