Joe Rogan is as synonymous with the UFC as CEO Dana White. Starting as a backstage interviewer, Joe Rogan has come a long way from his first gig in the UFC to become one of the most renowned voices in MMA, and that could warrant a hefty paycheck. Working only in PPV events, the 56-year-old earns around $50,000 for every event he commentates on, which we can expect him to get paid for UFC 300 as well. On the other hand, play-by-play commentator Jon Anik signed a 4-year deal with the UFC back in 2022. The details of that contract have not been disclosed.

Despite that, there have been a lot of estimations made about Jon Anik’s UFC earnings, and some sources claim that Anik makes between $500,000 to $5 million per year for his commentating chops. While Anik and Rogan may be a couple of experienced commentators, Daniel Cormier seems to be getting better with each event. As per ‘THE SPORTSLITE‘, ‘DC’ earns an estimated $500,000 per event for his work at the cage side. Hence, it is difficult to estimate how much Anik and Cormier would earn at UFC 300, given that their payout may vary from event to event. Now, let us take a deeper look into the finances of this trio of commentators, especially their net worth.

Joe Rogan has been a part of the world’s biggest MMA promotion since 1997. Since then, he has established himself as not just a prominent figure in MMA but also in the world of podcasting. He recently signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Spotify to renew their previous deal. Hence, there is no doubt that Rogan has a considerable bank balance.

On the other hand, Jon Anik, who graduated with a degree in political journalism from Gettysburg College, has an estimated net worth of at least $2 million.
