There was no shortage of hilarity in the comments section when the UFC commentator shared the footage on social media.

Fellow broadcast member Laura Sanko commented on his post, judging the incident and scoring in favor of the chair. She said, “10-8 …dominance and damage (not much duration but in this case not necessary).”  Former UFC fighter Dan Hardy also shared his amusement at the incident with a laughing emoji. Let us take a look at what the fans had to say.

• how does Jon make cursing sound professional?
• Early stoppage imo!
• First Joe pushes you out of one and this next? You’re 0-2 against chairs Anik.
• THE CHAMPION HAS A NAME AND ITS CHAIR OLIVEIRA
• Told you not to accept Colby Covington’s “gift” chair.
• Herb Dean needs to come in and wave that interview off. Not sure how you recover from that
• Jon idk how you didn’t see that shot coming, you could see it from a mile away

The fans also shared a laugh with the notable UFC figures, claiming that Anik’s fight with the chair ended with an early stoppage. Additionally, another fan recalled the incident from UFC 287 when Joe Rogan pushed Jon Anik off his chair after Israel Adesanya‘s devastating knockout win over Alex Pereira. Some fans even suggested that the fight needed Herb Dean to interfere to ensure the safety of the 44-year-old commentator. One fan even claimed that Colby Covington gifted the chair to Anik.
