Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier will be the commentators for the UFC’s final pay-per-view event of the year, UFC 296, with additional analysis from Din Thomas, Megan Olivi conducting interviews, and Michael Eaves hosting the desk alongside Chael Sonnen.
So, who’s gonna be calling the shots at UFC’s last pay-per-view event of the year? You guessed it right! It’s our usual trio – Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier.
Now, how do I know this? Well, multiple folks who are in the know of the promotion’s plans spilled the beans to MMA Fighting. They confirmed that Rogan and Cormier will be joining Anik for the UFC 296 broadcast. And guess what? This grand event is happening this Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Oh, and there’s more. UFC veteran Din Thomas will also be there, offering his analysis throughout the event.
But wait, there’s another familiar face you’ll see. Megan Olivi. She’ll be the roving reporter, handling pre and post-fight interviews.
And who’s gonna host the desk? It’s Michael Eaves. He’ll be joined by Chael Sonnen. There may be more analysts announced later in the week, so let’s keep our eyes peeled.
Now, let’s talk about the main event. UFC 296 is going to be headlined by a welterweight championship bout. It’s Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington. Remember Covington? He’s returning to action for the first time since he defeated Jorge Masvidal in UFC 272’s main event in March 2022.
And the co-main event? It’s Alexandre Pantoja putting his flyweight title on the line for the first time. He’s going up against Brandon Royval in their second meeting. Boy, this is gonna be exciting!
