Joe Rogan Returns to UFC 313 Broadcast Team Amidst Recent Controversies
Joe Rogan is set to rejoin the commentary team for UFC 313 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas after missing UFC 312 in Australia. He will join Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier in the booth, with Megan Olivi as the in-house reporter and Din Thomas providing coaching commentary. The event features a light heavyweight title fight between reigning champion Alex Pereira and contender Magomed Ankalaev.
This return comes amidst recent controversies involving Rogan. In a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan and Elon Musk discussed a conspiracy theory suggesting that CNN had prior knowledge of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, a claim CNN has refuted. Additionally, Musk addressed backlash over a controversial hand gesture made at Trump’s inauguration, which some interpreted as a Nazi salute. Musk denied any Nazi intent, stating the gesture was “meant in the most positive spirit possible.”
Despite these controversies, Rogan continues to be a prominent figure in the MMA community, recently naming Jon Jones as the greatest MMA fighter of all time due to his 14-year reign as a world champion and dual championships in both light heavyweight and heavyweight categori
es.
