Joe Rogan Returns To Commentary For UFC 290 /

Joe Rogan will be on the call for UFC 290 this weekend.

Rogan wasn't seen on the UFC 289 broadcast, which isn't too surprising given that card took place in Canada. Typically, Rogan doesn't travel outside of the United States for UFC pay-per-views. UFC 290 is being held inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 8.

The news comes from MMA Junkie. Rogan will be joined by UFC play-by-play ace Jon Anik and UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier. Din Thomas is also set to appear throughout the broadcast to provide coaching analysis. Bruce Buffer will be the Octagon announcer, while Megan Olivi will serve as the roving reporter.

Joining Michael Eaves on the desk for the post-fight show will be UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping and former two-time UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz.
