The Octagon returns to Las Vegas on March 8 for the third PPV card of the year, UFC 313 in the T-Mobile Arena.
In the main event of the evening, Alex Pereira is opposed to Magomed Ankalaev while the light heavyweight champion accepts the man who many people expect to be his most difficult test so far.
The Co-Main event may have lost Hooker because of an injury, but the new matchup by Justin Gaethje meets Rafael Fiziev in a rematch should still provide must-watch TV.
Iconic UFC commentator Joe Rogan was not present for UFC 312 last month, although he gave his thoughts over the map via a live podcast.
The first Big Vegas card of 2025 not only brings some of the biggest names in the sport back to the cage, the commentary cabin littered with stars is together again.
Joe Rogan went to UFC 313 next to Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik
With Joe Rogan who does not travel for international events, UFC 313 in Las Vegas means that the usual PPV commentary team is together again for the second time this year.
We regularly see variation on Fight Night Cards, as last weekend was the case for UFC Vegas 103 with a rare bone of two men from Jon Anik and Dominick Cruz.
When it comes to the biggest nights on the American coasts, you can usually guarantee that Rogan will work together with Anik and the former two-weight UFC champion, Daniel Cormier.
MMA Junkie confirmed that the three-man stand called UFC 311 in January will be Cage-Side on March 8.
Several other key names were also confirmed for the broadcast with people like Din Thomas, Chael Sonnen, Cruz, Teddy Atlas, Bruce Buffer and Megan Olivi who all arrive in the fighting capital of the world.
It is also stated that Anik will appear on the desk at the end of the event after the fight, which is organized by Brett Okamoto.

Joe Rogan is closely linked to the rise of Alex Pereira
Apart from Alex Pereira's own team, Joe Rogan was perhaps the biggest proponent of 'Patan' fights in the UFC before making his octagon debut.
Despite a worrying first round, the hype that Rogan built around the former kickboxer has paid off in the introduction of Pereira to the fans in 2021.
The podcaster and stand-up comedian did the same for Israel Adesanya and in both cases it worked incredibly well.
Now Rogan Pereira will again look up close when the 205-pound champion looks to eliminate one man who have said many to bring about his downfall.
