Longtime UFC color commentator Joe Rogan does not travel to international events, so the promotion will call up former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz to take his place at UFC 297 on Sat. night (Jan. 20) at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. “The Dominator” will take the commentary desk alongside ex-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and veteran play-play-play broadcaster Jon Anik.
MMA fans were campaigning for the return of Laura Sanko, who made her pay-per-view (PPV) debut at UFC 293 last fall. In fact, a growing number of viewers are in favor of her replacing Rogan altogether, after Sanko “killed it” during the “Down Under” broadcast. Since UFC CEO Dana White considers Rogan to be the greatest of all time, expect the former Fear Factor host to remain on board until he retires.
Rogan turned 56 back in August.
The rogster doesnt show up to these glorified fight night card PPV’s, can’t blame him.
IN His Contract he wont travel overseas
