Will Joe Rogan commentate at UFC 289?

Most MMA fans know that the UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan boasts a massive experience in multiple fields. His podcast shoot schedules and comedy gigs leave him with pretty scarce spare time. Owing to this, the 55-year-old will also miss out on being at the UFC events held outside the USA.

Now, since the UFC authorities have chosen the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada to host the UFC 289, therefore, it’s quite understandable that the beloved voice of the ‘JRE host’ won’t be there to narrate the UFC 289 in-octagon happenings.

The recent announcement also revealed that the former UFC fighter and commentator, Paul Felder will be replacing him for the event. How much would it affect you? Do you also feel that Rogan’s commentary adds a major spark to UFC events?

However, a recent report revealed that McGregor and his girlfriend Dee Devin have amassed loans worth over $38,259,811 or €35.83M during the last financial year.

‘Mysti Mac’ probably is eyeing an expansion of his Black Forge Inn’ chain of pubs. Currently, Devlin holds a directorial position in it. Further, they also might use it to boost the stature of ‘McGregor Sports and Entertainment Ltd’.

Alex Pereira revealed training plans with Sean Strickland

A number of UFC fans know the UFC Middleweight, Sean Strickland for his brash nature. Hence it’s apparent that very few UFC personalities would like to choose him as a training partner. But the former UFC Middleweight champ, Alex Pereira, was hardly bothered about others as he revealed that he would be training with ‘The Tarzan’.

Helwani gave out a rather shocking reaction. But, Pereira’s translator also revealed, “He talked about a lot of these guys, but he’s always treated Alex very respectfully. So, he’s very welcome in our home.”

Pereira also revealed that he would be taking a few classes to learn the English language from Strickland. How do you see this give-and-take agreement between these two?
