At just 25 years old, Ben “The Bane” Davis has already made a name for himself in combat sports, calling fights for UFC Fight Pass, DAZN, and more. But this year, the commentator became the competitor when he stepped onto MTV’s The Challenge: Vets & New Threats (Season 41).
Trading the headset for the spotlight, Ben faced a different kind of arena — one filled with alliances, cameras, and constant pressure. In this conversation, he opens up about what it’s like to go from analyzing the action to living it, how he manages the scrutiny of reality TV, and what it means to stay true to yourself when everything is filmed.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What it’s really like to make the jump from sports broadcasting to reality competition
- How Ben handles high-stakes pressure on and off the mic
- The biggest misconceptions about being on The Challenge
- Why authenticity matters when the cameras never turn off
- What’s next for Ben as he builds his career across sports and entertainment
