UFC’s beloved color commentator, Joe Rogan, is usually the man that gets the whole crowd up from the seats with his exciting commentary skills. This time, at UFC Fight Night Austin, Rogan was seen sitting with the audience instead of being in the booth with the UFC’s commentary crew.

There has been no reason released by the promotion as to why Rogan is not in the booth right now, especially in his hometown of Austin, where he recently shifted from Los Angeles.
