UFC 302 is just around the corner and the fans are super excited about it. The main event will feature Islam Makhachev defending his title against Dustin Poirier. Both fighters will look to settle their differences inside the Octagon after many online brawls. The event also marks the return of Joe Rogan after missing the previous UFC 301 event.

MMA Fighting recently shared a post on their X account hinting at the return of Joe Rogan for UFC 302. The 56-year-old has been associated with the UFC for a long time now. However, he was not a part of the UFC 301 event. Rogan doesn’t travel to most of the international pay-per-view broadcasts, so he is now absent from a few UFC events.

Rogan will be joined by Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier for the upcoming UFC 302 event at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. While Rogan, Anik, and Cormier appear to be a perfect trio to elevate the UFC 302 experience, Islam Makhachev might benefit from Cormier’s presence in the commentary box as DC is often accused of siding with the Dagestani fighters.

Fan favorite UFC analyst Chael Sonnen will also feature in the event along with Laura Sanko and Anthony Smith. The trio will sit behind the analyst desk and will be sharing their expertise on the craft. Most of the fans are super excited about the return of Joe Rogan. He last appeared at the historic UFC 300 event and became quite emotional talking about it. However, it seems that the fans are not quite excited about Daniel Cormier featuring in the event considering he was Islam Makhachev’s training partner in the past.
