Ross stated, on his podcast, that there was a huge communication gap between the management and the announcers. Ross had no idea that Tyson would be accompanied by his entourage of warriors. He stated that he felt bad about not addressing their presence on the show.

We mentioned Henry Cejudo and of course Mike, but the other fellows that were there, Rashad Evans, was not mentioned because we didn’t know he was part of the entourage. Vitor Belfort, same deal. They were in a masked group and they were camouflaged, Jim said.

Jim Ross didn’t know who would be in the Mike Tyson entourage

Ross was dissatisfied because he felt like the fighters weren’t at all acknowledged. Famous superstars in their own sport, the UFC fighters’ presence wasn’t even recognized when they came out onto the ring.

The intent was to get everybody over, but nobody told me, Excalibur or Tony (Schiavone) who was in the entourage. So, consequently, we didn’t know who was there.

“It was all about Tyson. I saw Henry Cejudo earlier today. Didn’t even see Rashad Evans earlier today. I didn’t see Vitor Belfort earlier today. Nobody told us they were there. Then I asked after the fact,said Ross.

I was pissed, to be honest with you. We should have done a better job with that, all of us, and that was a breakdown in communication. It was growing pains, so it’s not the end of the world, but I felt bad for those guys because if they watch it back, they weren’t even mentioned. None of them stood out in that respect. I felt bad about that,” explains Ross.
