Following the six-week ‘dark period,’ the Dana White-led promotion makes its return with the UFC 324 event in Las Vegas, Nevada. The stacked card headlined by Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje. So, who will be the voice for this historical event? Let’s take a look at the commentators who will be on the broadcast team for UFC 324.

Who is on the UFC 324 commentary team?

There are three commentators, with the play-by-play announcer leading the booth alongside two analysts. The desk team delivers in-depth analysis and reporting, supported by the roaming reporter, as the broadcast team confirmed on Thursday.

It is also to be noted that this event marks the launch of the promotion’s new seven-year, $7.7 billion deal with Paramount. The UFC is moving away from traditional pay-per-view, instead taking center stage on streaming platforms with its trusted broadcast team returning for fans. Let’s break down the announcers for UFC 324.

Who is the play-by-play announcer for UFC 324?

Joe Rogan, along with his UFC “A Team” colleagues Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik, will take over the spotlight for Paramount’s launch inside the T-Mobile Arena. Jon Anik will lead the play-by-play commentary from cageside at UFC 324, bringing over a decade of experience on the microphone. At 47, he has become one of the most recognizable voices in MMA broadcasting.
