Get ready for a thrilling UFC 321 broadcast, where the unexpected happens! A new voice steps into the spotlight, and it's a game-changer.
Damon Martin, a combat sports journalist since 2003, brings us the inside scoop. This time, it's all about the broadcast team for the upcoming UFC 321 event in Abu Dhabi on October 25th. The big news? Joe Rogan, a familiar face, won't be there due to his usual absence from international events. But here's where it gets controversial... his replacement is a rising star, Laura Sanko, who will bring her unique perspective and expertise to the commentary.
Laura Sanko, a regular color commentator for the UFC since 2023, is no stranger to the big stage. She's already made her mark on pay-per-view broadcasts, including UFC 293 in Australia. And this time, she's joining forces with Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier, both seasoned commentators in their own right. Together, they'll bring you the action like never before.
But wait, there's more! The UFC 321 card is packed with exciting matchups. In the main event, heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall defends his title against the formidable Ciryl Gane. And in a co-main event that will leave you on the edge of your seat, Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern battle it out for the vacant strawweight title, following Zhang Weili's move to flyweight.
With an earlier start time due to the Abu Dhabi location, the pay-per-view main card begins at 2 p.m. ET, and the prelims kick off at 10 a.m. ET on October 25th. Mark your calendars, because this is one event you won't want to miss!
So, who's excited for Laura Sanko's commentary debut on such a stacked card? And what do you think about Joe Rogan's absence? Let's discuss in the comments! Will Laura's unique style win over the fans, or is there a different perspective you'd like to share? Weigh in and let's spark a friendly debate!
