Joe Rogan will not be traveling down under for UFC 325 on Saturday night.
The legendary commentator has been in the broadcast booth for two numbered events in a row.
However, the 58-year-old has opted against heading to Sydney, Australia, for Alexander Volkanovski vs Diego Lopes 2.
Joe Rogan will watch their featherweight title rematch from the comfort of his own home in Austin, Texas.
UFC 325 broadcast team revealed
Joe Rogan hasn’t travelled abroad for his UFC job in years, so it’s no surprise he’s sitting out UFC 325.
Still, fans are always keen to know who will be replacing the world’s most popular podcaster.
Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is going to fill in for him this weekend.
‘The Count’ will join fellow Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik in the commentary booth at the Qudos Bank Arena.
John Gooden will call the first four bouts on the UFC 325 card, which are the “Road to UFC” championship bouts. He’ll then serve as a correspondent, conducting pre-fight and post-fight interviews backstage with the stars of the show.
The UFC 325 broadcast and post-fight show will be hosted by Brendan Fitzgerald from the Meta APEX.
He’ll be joined by former 185lb champions Robert Whittaker, Chris Weidman, and coach Din Thomas.
As always, legendary announcer Bruce Buffer will introduce the fighters competing at UFC 325.
