What's Next for Mauro Ranallo?

The bi-polar rock and roller is back! Mauro Ranallo was let go by WWE earlier this year due to issues with fellow commentator John Bradshaw Layfield, who was accused of bullying him. While Ranallo was gone from WWE, it wasn’t expected to be his last job as he has a long history of broadcasting combat sports. It turns out that he’s already got another job.

According to PWInsider.com, Ranallo has been signed to call Bellator MMA, with a debut date of June 24 for “Bellator NYC” from Madison Square Garden. Half of the show will air at “Bellator 180” on SpikeTV and the other half will air on pay per view. Ranallo will be joined by former UFC commentator Mike Goldberg.

Opinion: This isn’t exactly a shock as Ranallo is one of the best broadcasters for almost any sport that you’re going to find. He knows his stuff, clearly cares about what he’s doing and can get fired up about any sport you put in front of him. I’m glad that someone welcomed him with open arms and hopefully he can show off his skills without having to be abused by people who haven’t quite grown up yet.
