The UFC’s new broadcast partnership with Paramount+ is underway after years at FOX Sports and ESPN. While many elements of the UFC’s broadcasts will remain similar to how they worked before, one of the longest-tenured personalities in the promotion’s history won’t be a part of the mix.

“I wanted to let you guys know that after 14 years, my time at the UFC desk is over, I’m not moving forward with them in the Paramount era,” Bryant said.

“I had an incredible time over the last 14 years. Gotten to see and do some incredible things, I do want to thank the people I worked with who work so hard to put the shows on. I always want to thank the crew, gets there before we do and stay after…The thing I’m going to miss the most is just BSing and shooting the crap with my fighters in the room beforehand, before we go on the air…

“I’m not stopping,” Bryant continued. “It’s a bummer, I had such a great time, and I want to thank all of the fighters for their candor when they sat down with us at the desk, and as I said, I really did have a wonderful time. It was really something special!”

Bryant went on to hint that she plans on ‘revisiting her roots’ in Pop Culture after she began her career as a video journalist with MTV.
