Anik doesn't seem to know enough about MMA to provide any intelligent play by play commentary. Ergo, nothing to correct. It's all just catchy buzz phrases with a nice broadcasting voice. The guy has got to go. Honestly, I think the ideal team would be Rogan and Couture.

I am really interested in knowing why some people think that Anik was trash!!

Maybe he is not the most knowledgeable commentator in the sport but he did a very correct and decent job.
Goldie has to be corrected like 300 times every event. And always because he says things that would normally say somebody that has been watching MMA for about a month. He has been a commentator for over a decade!!

And Rogan also made tons of mistakes, in many fights it was like "He is now holding the left arm, excuse me the right arm".
It is not news at all that he is extremely biased towards some particular fighters. It has been like that all the time.
He is knowledgeable and he says some interesting things specially when the fight is in the ground. But he is absolutely biased towards a fighter and also makes a lot of mistakes.

Anik was very decent. Also it was very refreshing to not hear "And It is AAALLLL OOOOVER" after each single finish! (Not that there were a lot of finishes in the card anyway)

I think Anik does a pretty good job.

I think Chael and Joe would have some pretty good commentary. I really wish they would have a fighter in there. Randy Couture, Mir, Bas (of course), Pat Mil., would all have good commentary.
