UFC will have its first-ever pay-per-view event in Singapore on June 11, 2022, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang. However, two of the most prominent names in the industry, Dana White and Joe Rogan, will be absent for UFC 275.

Joe Rogan, the 54-year-old UFC color commentator, has been a part of major UFC events in America. However, he rarely travels internationally for the events. Hence, he will be out of action this Saturday.

Meanwhile, former middleweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping will fill the void. He will join the broadcast team with Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik at UFC 275.

On the other hand, the UFC president will miss the pay-per-view in Singapore, as he has special plans for his son’s 21st birthday on weekends. In talks with Spinnin’ Backfist MMA Show, White revealed the same.

“It’s my son’s 21st birthday this weekend… Me and my son are gonna gamble together for the first time on his birthday on Thursday, then we’re flying down to Miami for the weekend… Caesar’s Palace, baby… it’s the best casino in town… Even if they kick me out, I’ll still be telling you they’re the best in town.” White said.
