This is deliberate cross-pollination. Pairing Anik with Ward and Kellerman gives Netflix a credible “best of both worlds” booth that can speak to UFC fans sampling boxing and boxing diehards who want high-level tactics. Add Buffer’s gravitas, Tarver’s fighter IQ, and the TKO ecosystem signal (prelims on WWE/TKO channels), and you’ve got a supersized funnel aimed squarely at casuals and hardcores ahead of a true pound-for-pound event.
