ALI MOKDAD
Background:
Mokdad began commentating for Tam Khan’s promotion Dubai Fighting Championship in 2014 and then progressed to One Championship. He has also anchored the show MMA All Out for Physique TV, which spanned over four seasons and over 200 episodes. He also trains in Jiu Jitsu (Blue Belt under Royce Gracie), wrestling and Muay Thai.
I think a great commentator is someone who can inject life into the technical aspects of the game whilst at the same time, knowing when to stay quiet and let the fans enjoy the fight. There is a fine line between explaining everything that is going on in a fight and what needs to be explained. I think Mohammed Al Hosni is a prime example of one of those guys that understands this concept in the region.
