UFC commentator Brendan Fitzgerald lost his voice during Saturday's broadcast at Meta Apex and had to leave the booth before the main event.
Fitzgerald started the UFC Vegas 124 card with a noticeably strained throat, according to Sherdog, and was eventually replaced by John Schriffen ahead of the Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs. Johnny Walker headliner. Fellow commentators Dominick Cruz and Michael Bisping remained on the desk, while reporter McKenzie Pavavich took on additional duties.
