Although it was a huge PPV on American soil, it was announced before the event that UFC icon and color commentator Joe Rogan would not work on the event, which came a huge shock for the fan base.
It marked the first time in more than three years that Rogan missed an American PPV, with known that he is not traveling internationally for UFC events.
Nothing more than a week from the return of the UFC to Chicago, it has been announced that Rogan will make his return to the commentary while he, Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier are reuniting for the night of action.
However, that is not the only remarkable recording of the event, since 'The Diamond' Poirier will also work the event as a desk analyst. This will mark the first assignment after retirement of Poirier and he recently stated that he will concentrate on being an analyst after retirement.
