How Much Are Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier, and Jon Anik’s Commentary Team Getting Paid for UFC 300?

UFC 300 is just a few days away and the broadcast team for that pay-per-view has been revealed. The seminal event will have the trio of Daniel Cormier, Joe Rogan, and Jon Anik calling the fights on Saturday. Today, we will take a look at the possible paychecks each commentator could pocket for the historic PPV event.

Daniel Cormier, Joe Rogan, and Jon Anik have become the mainstays of the UFC’s commentary team for pay-per-view events over the last few years. Having called fights for years together, people often wonder what they are paid by Dana White and Co. Let’s dive into those details without any further ado!

Daniel Cormier, Joe Rogan, and Jon Anik: payouts for commentary work

Joe Rogan is as synonymous with the UFC as CEO Dana White. Starting as a backstage interviewer, Joe Rogan has come a long way from his first gig in the UFC to become one of the most renowned voices in MMA, and that could warrant a hefty paycheck. Working only in PPV events, the 56-year-old earns around $50,000 for every event he commentates on, which we can expect him to get paid for UFC 300 as well. On the other hand, play-by-play commentator Jon Anik signed a 4-year deal with the UFC back in 2022. The details of that contract have not been disclosed.

Despite that, there have been a lot of estimations made about Jon Anik’s UFC earnings, and some sources claim that Anik makes between $500,000 to $5 million per year for his commentating chops. While Anik and Rogan may be a couple of experienced commentators, Daniel Cormier seems to be getting better with each event. As per ‘THE SPORTSLITE‘, ‘DC’ earns an estimated $500,000 per event for his work at the cage side. Hence, it is difficult to estimate how much Anik and Cormier would earn at UFC 300, given that their payout may vary from event to event. Now, let us take a deeper look into the finances of this trio of commentators, especially their net worth.

The commentary trio’s net worth

Joe Rogan has been a part of the world’s biggest MMA promotion since 1997. Since then, he has established himself as not just a prominent figure in MMA but also in the world of podcasting. He recently signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Spotify to renew their previous deal. Hence, there is no doubt that Rogan has a considerable bank balance. Sources claim that he is worth over $120 million.

On the other hand, Jon Anik, who graduated with a degree in political journalism from Gettysburg College, has an estimated net worth of at least $2 million. Lastly, Daniel Cormier, who also made a lot of money while competing as a fighter, and is a highly accomplished one at that, has a net worth of around $6 million as of 2023, as per reports by ‘Celebrity Net Worth‘.

UFC 300 has a total of three title fights – the light heavyweight, the women’s strawweight, which will also be the first Chinese vs Chinese UFC fight, and the BMF championship.
