The official weigh-ins for the UFC 261 card are finally over. All the 3 title fights are official, including the main event of the evening, Kamaru Usman versus Jorge Masvidal. After the weigh-ins, the UFC commentator Jon Anik appeared in front of the reporters to provide a preview of the main card. He also discussed Joe Rogan and his current situation in the UFC.

Anik said, “It feels much bigger when he is there. There’s no doubt about it he brings a special dynamic to the broadcast booth. That I am not really sure anybody else can bring there are a lot of these guys who are comedic and super funny, but he is the total package. There’s no doubt about it. I think he is gonna outlast me though there are rumblings oh! Rogans got one foot out of the door. He is doing our domestic paper views right now. He hasn’t traveled internationally as long as I have been doing the pay-per-views, but I don’t think he is going anywhere”.
