A fan felt disappointed at the thought of Joe Rogan potentially leaving the UFC commentary team, yet acknowledged that Rogan is not present at all events. The fan also highly values Dana White’s media interactions. He also feels that Bruce Buffer’s voice is mandatory for the promotion.
It will suck when Rogan leaves but there’s so many cards every year that he doesn’t commentate on. Dana’s scrums are a must & Buffer’s voice is a must.

One of the Twitter users pointed out that both Joe Rogan and Bruce Buffer would leave the UFC once Dana White departs. He feels that such a collective exit will have a negative financial impact on the promotion. He also claimed that when they retire together, it will alienate a significant portion of the UFC’s fanbase.
Joe and Buff said theyre leaving when Dana does. That 3 way blow will plummet the stock and destroy fans.
