In 2015, Mauro Ranallo made history as the only sports broadcaster ever to call every major combat sport on national television: Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, and Professional Wrestling.

Since 2007, Mauro Ranallo has been a part of the CBS Broadcasting family starting as the Lead Announcer for the Strikeforce MMA promotion, and in 2012, was chosen as the play-by-play announcer for Championship Boxing on Showtime.

During that time he also traveled the globe calling the action for Glory Sports, the
