Bisping Takes Over For Rogan At UFC 312
Joe Rogan doesn’t travel to international pay-per-view (PPV) events, so the promotion is once again without its longtime color commentator ahead of UFC 312, which takes place this Sat. night (Feb. 8, 2025) at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Michael Bisping is taking over, according to MMA Fighting.
The former UFC middleweight champ, who can often be heard providing color commentary on the “Fight Night” cards at APEX, has been tapped to replace Rogan for UFC 312. He’ll be seated alongside play-by-play man Jon Anik and ex-heavyweight kingpin Daniel Cormier.
Heidi Androl is charged with backstage interviews.
UFC 312 will be headlined by the middleweight rematch between reigning 185-pound titleholder, Dricus Du Plessis, and former division champion, Sean Strickland. In the UFC 312 co-main event, current strawweight champion, Zhang Weili, will defend her 115-pound strap against undefeated division phenom, Tatiana Suarez.
