Long-time Strikeforce commentator Mauro Ranallo is set to miss out on the promotion’s final curtain call this evening.
Ranallo will be missing from the broadcast team as he’s reported to be attending to a “private family matter.” He was also missing from Invicta FC’s last event as well.
Stepping into his shoes alongside regular color-commentators Frank Shamrock and Pat Militech will be AXS TV’s Ron Kruck.
It’s unfortunate as Ranallo was very much part of the furniture over at Strikeforce and it won’t be quite the same without him, but it’s expected that he will return to commentating for the Showtime network in the future.
