UFC 317 full broadcast team revealed ahead of Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira
The full broadcast team for UFC 317 on Saturday is set as the promotion returns to Las Vegas for the latest installment of International Fight Week with the festivities capped off when Ilia Topuria battles Charles Oliveira to crown a new lightweight champion.
The commentary team calling the fights is the usual big three for pay-per-view events with Jon Anik handling play-by-play duties and he’ll be joined by Joe Rogan and UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier.
Those three are set to call the event, which also includes a flyweight title fight in the co-main event when Alexandre Pantoja faces Kai Kara-France.
Megan Olivi is set to serve as the in house reporter during the event being held at the T-Mobile Arena.
When it comes to the analysts working the broadcast desk providing analysis, Brendan Fitzgerald is set to host the show.
Joining him are former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and a pair of former title challengers with Chael Sonnen and Anthony Smith both providing analysis for the event.
UFC officials confirmed the full broadcast team details to MMA Fighting on Monday.
While the week ends with UFC 317, there’s a lot more happening during fight week including the finals of the UFC BJJ series with two champions being crowned along with a match between the coaches on the show. The UFC is also hosting a pre-fight press conference on Thursday just before the UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The official weigh-ins are set for Friday along with the latest Power Slap event hosted by UFC CEO Dana White.
That leads into UFC 317 with the main card airing on ESPN+ pay-per-view starting at 10 p.m. ET on Saturday.
