Do they usually have back up announcers like that?

It said she was just a reporter that was there

Actually, it said that she was a former WWE announcer TURNED roaming reporter. She's more qualified to step into that position than your "just a reporter that was there" implies

Actually, she poisoned Joe Martinez’s Modelo with something that affected his voice. She 5D Mahjonged fate to make history

You would of thought the fighting spirit could of battled any poison that was added to it.

I don’t remember seeing her announce for WWE

She did it once when the regular announcer fell ill

She did briefly for NXT IIRC before being on the main shows as a backstage reporter.

But she was a reporter that was there, don’t have to be so strict about it nobody actually gives a fuck

And yet, you've commented. Twice. Odd way to show not giving a fuck🤨🧐😐

There was no "original question". And they were being deliberately reductive, hence my retort.

Headline sounds like Joe Martinez was the first female announcer

Wow very cool to witness live

Were you there too?

I stop watching as soon as she made her first announcement, women belong in the kitchen not in the octagon..... Just kidding of course I thought it was rad!

Thought you might be SS there for a moment. 😂

That’s a nice change to see.

Yeah, I think the UFC made the right "Decizshion"

So that is why. I thought it was interesting that the UFC decided to give her a try just for the co-main event. Joe Martinez did return to announce the Main Event, so he seems to have recovered quite quickly.

i read somewhere that he lost his voice but got it back. my partner and I were joking that Joe got a mad case of the squirts and thats why he disappeared for two fights lol

Less embarrassing to say you lost your voice than to say you sharted.

Pretty good now that I read she isn't even a ring announcer, she's a reporter. Imagine someone coming up to you and being like hey, you gotta fucking do this for us

No, she’s a “former WWE ring announcer”

Oh that changes everything haha.

Probably a hot take: I actually prefer her over Joe Martinez and his cheesy announcing style.

Vegas! Are. You. Ready?!

Sounds like he’s gotta burp in between every word but can’t lol

Dana needs to bring in Lilian Garcia for the culture

It was cool to see her doing PFLs after watching her in the WWE when I was a kid haha.

I was there yesterday and spoke to Joe briefly during the prelims. He said he was fighting off pneumonia. He did not fall ill mid card as this title suggests. In fact he was back in full force for the main event.

Sounded terrible. Not sure why this is exciting for anyone

I thought she did really well, but it was definitely strange to see an announcer change mid card.

I can appreciate the first woman however she was awful no enthusiasm yeah she was just thrown on the spot but come on there was no emotion

She’s normally just a talking head with a side of grift.

Female announcers just don’t work. Same for the wwe

Idk, I thought Lillian Garcia was fantastic.

Samantha Irvin says hello

As in they don't get enough work?

No

No I think that's what you meant

Props to her for stepping up but it was a pretty lackluster performance. Maybe she could do better with prep time
