Joe Rogan Returns for UFC 326

Joe Rogan’s commentary is often reserved for the UFC’s biggest US-based pay-per-view events, and his presence at UFC 326 signals the magnitude of the card. He works a more limited schedule than in his early days, making his appearances a notable event for long-time fans of the sport. Rogan's first official commentary role for the promotion was in 2002, after an initial stint as a backstage interviewer starting in 1997. The broadcast team for major events is a key part of the viewing experience, and for UFC 326, the lineup is stacked with fighting experience. Cageside, Rogan will be joined by the lead play-by-play announcer Jon Anik and former two-division UFC champion Daniel Cormier. This trio has become the standard for many of the promotion's most significant fight nights. The expertise from former champions extends beyond the main commentary booth. The wider broadcast team for UFC 326 includes former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier, who will serve as an analyst for the weigh-in show. Additionally, UFC Hall of Famer and former middleweight champion Michael Bisping will be a featured analyst at the broadcast desk on fight night. UFC 326 is headlined by a highly anticipated rematch between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira for the symbolic "BMF" title. Their first encounter in 2015 ended anticlimactically due to an injury sustained by Oliveira. This second fight is a marquee matchup, with both fighters having held UFC championships since their first meeting. This event also marks a significant milestone for the UFC's broadcast partnership, with a portion of the event being simulcast on CBS. The final hour of the preliminary card and the first hour of the main card will be available on the broadcast network, a move designed to bring the high-stakes action to a wider audience before the remainder of the card streams exclusively on Paramount+.
