One year ago, Bisping spoke with Mike Bohn; When asked, alongside whom would he like to call fights, Bisping answered, “Joe Rogan. I haven’t worked with Joe Rogan yet. I would love to. Of course, Joe is… He’s the OG or the godfather of, if you will, of commentators.”

Furthermore, Bisping detailed how, in 2019, Rogan sent him encouraging messages after his commentary debut in Fortaleza, Brazil.

Bisping was aware of the reasons why he didn’t work with Rogan yet. He said, “Of course, Joe only does the PPVs and there’s a… you know, there’s a pecking order, you know, it’s Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, next in line is DC and that’s the way its work. There’s a hierarchy and, fair enough, I’m the last one.”

Earlier, at UFC 271, Michael Bisping made his PPV debut as a commentator, when Rogan chose to skip the event.

Like Joe Rogan, Michael Bisping will stay in the UFC for a long time

Starting his commentary career, in 2018, ‘The Count’ has steadily become one of the best UFC analysts.

Bisping has used his experience in fighting to break down what’s going on inside the octagon. ‘The Count’, with his amusing personality, has made his mark in the broadcaster booth, as he has previously done with his fighting career.
