How is it that Olivia (Female commentator. I probably spelled her name wrong) seems like the only commentator that did more than the most basic preparation for calling the fights? And why does she seem to have a greater depth of knowledge of the game than the others?

The whole broadcast team sits down with each of the fighters during fight week behind closed doors and they ask them a bunch of questions so that they can get the info for their commentary. Olivi is just a pro and always does a really good job so she makes the ex-fighters look bad.
