Joe Rogan returns for UFC 326 broadcast team
UFC 326 is scheduled for Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, airing live on Paramount+ with portions simulcast on CBS. Joe Rogan returns to his role as color commentator after missing UFC 325 in Australia in January, a trip he skipped due to his policy of not traveling for international cards. He will join UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier on color commentary, with Jon Anik handling play-by-play duties, as confirmed by UFC officials to MMA Fighting on Monday.
The main event sees Max Holloway defending his “BMF” title against Charles Oliveira. The co-main event features middleweights Reinier de Ridder and Caio Borralho. Megan Olivi will serve as the in-arena reporter.
For analysis, former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier joins Cormier and Paul Felder for Friday's events, including weigh-ins. On Saturday, with Cormier on commentary, Michael Bisping acts as the third analyst. CBS Sports’ Kate Scott hosts the weekend.
This event marks UFC's first crossover broadcast, with the final two preliminary fights and the first two main card bouts airing from 8 p.m. ET to 10 p.m. ET on both CBS and Paramount+, while the remainder, including the headliner, is exclusive to Paramount+.

Olivi, a reporter since 2013, said, “I am proud to have re-signed with the UFC... this organization... holds a truly special place in my heart.” Felder, commenting since 2017, stated, “I couldn’t be more excited to continue my commentary journey with UFC... And I’m just getting started.” Bisping, a UFC Hall of Famer and former middleweight champion since 2012, noted, “I’m beyond proud... This is a role I cherish and take very seriously...”
