Joe Rogan is back calling the fights for UFC 326 on Saturday after sitting out the promotion’s trip to Australia for UFC 325 in January.
Rogan is set to serve in his normal spot as color commentator alongside UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik handling play-by-play duties. UFC officials confirmed the broadcast plans to MMA Fighting on Monday.
Rogan doesn’t travel to international cards so the UFC usually has a rotating group of replacements on deck whenever he’s not around. He’s back for UFC 326, however, as Max Holloway defends his “BMF” title against Charles Oliveira in the main event.
In addition to the three-man team calling the fights, Megan Olivi is set to serve as the in arena reporter for the event.
As far as analysts working the event, former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier is back behind the desk and he’s joined by Cormier and Paul Felder for Friday’s events, including the weigh-ins. On Saturday night with Cormier calling the fights, fellow UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping serves as the third analyst on the desk.
CBS Sports’ veteran Kate Scott is serving as the host for the weekend.
UFC 326 also marks the first crossover event for the promotion with part of the event airing on both Paramount+ and CBS. From 8 p.m. ET to 10 p.m. ET, the final two preliminary fights and the first two fights on the main card are set for simulcast on CBS and Paramount+.
The remainder of the event including the headliner between Holloway and Oliveira is exclusive to Paramount+.
In addition to the main event, middleweights Reinier de Ridder and Caio Borralho are scheduled to clash in the co-main event on Saturday.
