Former WWE ring announcer turned UFC touring reporter Charly Arnolt has left ESPN but will continue working with the MMA promotion. The 35-year-old sportscaster and TV personality cited cancellation culture as one of the reasons she fled to digital media company OutKick.
“It feels like I’ve been a little bit screwed up in the past,” said Arnault, who has spent the past five years at ESPN and the last two on a full-time contract. People are too afraid to speak out for fear of being called politically incorrect. The idea of canceling culture does not exist here. I speak freely.
“I have so many opinions that I haven’t been able to express, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Arnolt posted her signature announcement via Instagram
MANIFESTED is excited to officially announce that I’ve joined the amazing team @outkickthecoveragefoxnews to host a daily weekday morning show starting this summer. Those who know me, know I have a lot of opinions and I’m thrilled to have a platform that embraces diverse conversation about the most important issues in sports, culture and society. If you have any ideas for presentation topics or slides you’d like to see, please don’t hesitate to send me a message!

Cancellation culture is a term for when those deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or ostracized.
Arnolt, a former Fox59 sportscaster in Indianapolis, will co-host a new show in development, which will be announced before football season.
Outkick founder Clay Travis tweeted Monday that Arnolt “will be one of the hosts of the new Outkick morning show starting this summer. She’s leaving @espn so she can actually say what she thinks. A great addition.” Travis, who founded OutKick in 2011 and then sold it to Fox, was Corporation in 2021, an outspoken critic of ESPN.
Arnolt will be working on UFC Fight Night 222 this Saturday on ESPN+.
