The UFC’s new broadcast partnership with Paramount+ is underway after years with FOX Sports and ESPN. While many elements of the UFC broadcasts will remain similar to how they previously operated, one of the longest-lasting personalities in the promotion’s history will not be part of the mix.
Karyn Bryant, who began her MMA broadcasting career with the Elite XC team in 2008, joined the UFC staff in 2012. Bryant, a fixture in UFC fight night coverage, announced this week that she will appear at the UFC broadcast desk in the future.

“I just wanted to let you know that after 14 years my time on the UFC desk is over, I will not be continuing with them in the Paramount era,” said Bryant.
“I’ve had an incredible time over the last 14 years. I’ve seen and done some incredible things, I want to thank the people I’ve worked with who have worked so hard to get the shows going. I always want to thank the crew, getting there before us and staying after… What I’ll miss most is just BSing and shooting the shit with my fighters in the room beforehand, before we go on the air…
“I’m not stopping,” Bryant continued. “It’s a shame, I had such a great time and I want to thank all the fighters for their openness when they came to sit at the counter with us, and like I said, I really had a great time. It was really something special!”
Bryant hinted that she plans to “revisit her roots” in pop culture after starting her career as a video journalist at MTV.
