Joe Rogan's Departure Shakes Up UFC 315 Broadcast

In a surprising turn of events, Joe Rogan has confirmed he won’t be making the trip to Canada for UFC 315, staying true to his word from a March podcast episode. As the UFC gears up for its highly anticipated return to Montreal, the broadcast team has been officially announced, and it features some exciting changes.

Dominick Cruz Steps into the Spotlight

Former UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz is set to join seasoned commentator Jon Anik and UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier in the commentary booth. This trio promises to deliver an electrifying fight night experience.

Rogan's Controversial Stance on Canada

Rogan's decision to skip Canada isn’t merely about personal preference. During his podcast, he expressed a humorous yet pointed disdain for the country, suggesting he would choose Russia over Canada. This sentiment is arguably tied to his recent comments about the complicated political situation surrounding Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the provocative remarks made by former President Donald Trump.

UFC 315 Highlights: Title Fights You Can’t Miss

Instead of Rogan, Cruz will be in charge of calling the action for a card that's headlined by a thrilling welterweight title bout. Champion Belal Muhammad is set to defend his title for the first time against rising star Jack Della Maddalena. Fans can also look forward to an intense co-main event featuring Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight title against French knockout artist Manon Fiorot.

The Broadcast Lineup

Joining this dynamic trio in Montreal is reporter Brendan Fitzgerald, who will cover the event live. UFC 315 is packed with high-stakes fights that are sure to captivate MMA fans everywhere.
