As a long time respected MMA commentator, Mauro Ranallo has plenty of friends who just so happened to be elite level mixed martial artists. Two of his friends are pioneers in the sport and UFC Hall of Famers: Bas Rutten and Pat Militech. Both fighters have commented on the ongoing JBL bullying accusations, and have stuck up for Mauro.
UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich recently responded to a JBL tweet by basically calling him out.
I have a bone to pick with you regarding strong arming my boy, Mauro Ranallo. Let's have a man to man discussion, Johnny.

He also re-tweeted this response from a fan:
RIP JBL https://t.co/8Sle2zFTJD

Bas Rutten vs. JBL
Another UFC Hall of Famer, Bas Rutten, hosts a podcast with Mauro that unfortunately has been on hiatus since he left Smackdown. Not long after the situation began Rutten let fans know on his Twitter that JBL was responsible.
he's the best, what are you talking about? THE BEST! Meaning, nobody is better! JBL? Haha, would love to meet him
