UFC 275 will be held on Saturday in Singapore, but an international card will have a different broadcast crew with Joe Rogan sitting out.
Rogan is a regular contributor to all pay-per view broadcasts, but he seldom travels abroad. This means that he won’t be available on Saturday.
Rogan will be replaced by Michael Bisping, a former champion middleweight and UFC Hall of Famer. Bisping also serves as the color commentator in the broadcast booth alongside Daniel Cormier.
Jon Anik, who will call the fights as well as handle play-by-play duties with Cormier and Bisping, will be the third man. Megan Olivi is the reporter for the Singapore event.
UFC officials confirmed the broadcast team with MMA Fighting on Tuesday after the news was first reported by MMA Junkie.
UFC 275 is the inaugural pay-per view broadcast of the promotion in Singapore. Glover Teixeira, the light heavyweight champion will defend his title against JiriProchazka at the main event.
Reigning flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko will also fight on Saturday as she faces Brazilian contender Taila Santos in the co-main event.
The card features Joanna Jedrzejczyk versus Zhang Weili’s highly-anticipated rematch. They run it back, having clashed in the 2020 Fighting of the Year.
The pay-per view broadcast will continue to air at regular times throughout the United States. Its main card will be shown at 10 at p.m. ET /7. PT.
