Will Joe Rogan Take the $50,000 Opportunity at UFC 277?

Joe Rogan has worked with the UFC for a long time and has become the voice of the promotion. He is one of the most sought-after commentators at the UFC. While Rogan has reduced his desk duties to US-based PPV fights only, he has missed a few such events in the past.

With UFC 277 just around the corner, fans are not just excited to see big fights but also want to see Rogan call these fights. As reported by ‘MMA Junkie‘, Jon Anik, Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier, and Joe Rogan will take up their commentator duties at UFC 277.

The upcoming event is just around the corner. It takes place on July 30 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peña will headline the event. Their second bout is an extremely crucial one as it will either give Nunes an opportunity to redeem her name or give Peña the opportunity to prove her last win was not luck.

Thus, the upcoming women’s bantamweight title fight will be an interesting one to witness. Since Rogan will be commentating, the event gets even better.

Several other popular fighters are also present on the lineup.
