Fans Beg for a Change as Joe Rogan Joins “Annoying” Daniel Cormier & Jon Anik’s UFC 300 Commentary Team

The historic UFC 300 card has received its broadcast team! Set to take place on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the highly anticipated card will be taking place at the venue famous for having hosted another milestone event, UFC 200 back in 2016.

In a recent interview with TNT Sports, UFC CEO Dana White indicated that he wanted to pull out all the stops for this landmark UFC card. The UFC boss stated, “So when you look at 300 right, we have 12 current and former UFC champions or interim champions, seven pound-for-pound [ranked] fighters, almost every single fight features a ranked contender, 16 ranked fighters in total.”

The broadcast team for the event was also revealed recently. According to a post shared on X by MMA Orbit, “The commentary team for #UFC300 will be Jon Anik, Joe Rogan, and Daniel Cormier”. Originally reported by MMA Fighting, alongside the commentary team will be Megan Olivi, who will take on the role of handling backstage news and interviews. UFC veteran Din Thomas will also be a part of the broadcast by offering his expert advice during the fights.

Fans slam UFC 300 commentary team with Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier drawing heat

UFC fans are expressing disappointment over the commentary team lineup for the highly anticipated UFC 300 event, with many calling for a change. Here’s a look at what the fans had to say:

Fans sarcastically referred to the commentators like Joe Rogan talking about ‘calf kicks’ as being one of the reasons they’d prefer to see a different lineup in the booth for UFC 300

Some even highlighted the fact that in their opinion, Daniel Cormier has a penchant for dominating the dialogue throughout the broadcast

Jon Anik’s presence was also a point of contention for many as they bluntly claimed that he should be replaced by Paul Felder or Dominick Cruz, both former fighters.

Some fans called for Michael Bisping to have been present there as his charismatic enthusiasm resonates with them more

Fans even came up with a unique idea to have Mike Goldberg, former UFC commentator, renowned for providing his iconic call of “And just like that! It is all over!”, to make a guest appearance at UFC 300

But the overwhelming response indicated that fans aren’t keen on Daniel Cormier’s presence as they wished Paul Felder would have been given a spot in the booth instead

Many fans even bluntly stated their disapproval of the Rogan and Cormier broadcast team as they proclaimed them to  be “annoying” to an expletive-inducing degree 

In conclusion, fan reactions to the UFC 300 commentary team announcement reflect a desire for variety and change. The consensus leans towards a preference for a shift away from Cormier’s involvement, with many echoing the sentiment that Paul Felder or Michael Bisping would have been preferable choices instead.
