UFC analyst Ariel Helwani went full Ron Burgundy for a moment during Monday’s “DC and Helwani” show on YouTube. Burgundy, of course, is the fictitious 1980s news anchor depicted in the 2004 film “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”. In that movie, Burgundy, played by comedic actor Will Ferrell, is fired from his role as San Diego’s top-rated newsman in the male-dominated broadcasting world of the 1970s after one of his big rivals sabotages Burgundy’s teleprompter.
And that works on Burgundy because Burgundy will read anything put on his teleprompter, and that means anything.
Apparently, though, so will Helwani, who had a good laugh at himself with Cormier about going full Burgundy during Monday’s show.
You can watch that clip below.
Unlike Burgundy, Helwani won’t be fired for it.
