Undisputed has steadily declined in the ratings for a few years now. The ratings declined even more when Shannon Sharpe left, and FS1 was unable to get a great partner for Skip, so Skip decided to leave.

He says he'll be back somewhere else soon.

I can’t see him returning to ESPN. Maybe he’ll go the podcast route, but if I had to venture a guess, based on nothing but wild speculation, maybe he ends up on Amazon Prime. Amazon has the NFL, getting the NBA, maybe they want to start up a sports commentary show.

FS1 didn't renew Skip's contract, seems that they let Skip hire the athletes for Undisputed Kayshawn Johnson and Richard Sherman. I was surprised about it as I thought Sherman and Skip Baseless/Clueless had major beef when he was in the NFL and ripped Skip a new one on Yelling Take oh, I mean First Take. I read about Skip leaving FS1 a few weeks ago.
