Will Joe Rogan Be Present on the Commentary Booth for Sean O’Malley vs. Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292?

UFC 292 is around the corner. One of the biggest events of the year will witness a title clash between Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley. As the event draws closer, the promotion has decided on the commentary team, but will Joe Rogan be a part of it? At the moment, the MMA community is beyond thrilled to watch the exciting bouts scheduled for the night. In addition to Sterling vs. O’Malley, Zhang Weili and Amanda Lemos are also set to compete against each other in the co-main event of the PPV, which is one of the major highlights.

Additionally, fans are eager to witness Chris Weidman‘s comeback after his unfortunate leg injury at UFC 261 during his fight against Uriah Hall in April 2021. Now he has recovered from the injury and is all set to fight against Brad Tavares this coming weekend. There is no doubt that the UFC 292 fight card is rich with exciting matchups. To add more entertainment to the event, the UFC is ready with the greatest commentary team. Let’s dive deeper to find out who all are included in the UFC 292 commentary team.

The commentary team is set for UFC 292

 The UFC 292 commentary group will be headed by Jon Anik who will serve as the play-by-play commentator. To add to the excitement of the event, the most popular UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, will accompany Anik. Along with Anik and Rogan, UFC legend and ex-two-division titleholder, Daniel Cormier will serve as the third commentator, completing the fan-favorite trio. In addition, Megan Olivi will act as the reporter at the venue throughout the telecast.

There is no doubt that UFC 292 has the best set of commentators in the promotion. Rogan, Cormier, and Anik are the most celebrated commentator trio that has never failed to entertain. However, Joe Rogan often stays away from international events. There were even times when he skipped UFC events that took place in America. However, it seems that now Rogan does not want to miss one of the most thrilling events of the year.

The reason behind the ‘No’ of Joe Rogan

The MMA community loves Rogan as the UFC commentator. Although, the 56-year-old has made it clear that he is not someone who prefers to stick just to the role of a commentator. Rogan has broadened his horizons by taking on the roles of a stand-up comedian and a podcaster. However, it is not his other responsibilities that make it difficult for Rogan to take up the international events hosted by the promotion. Rogan does not take up international events mainly because he does not want to stay away from his family for more than three days.
