It’s the usual suspects appearing at UFC 307 on Saturday with the regular pay-pay-per-view broadcast team calling the fights, including a pair of title bouts at the top of the card.
Jon Anik serves as the play-by-play man for the event from Salt Like City and he’s joined by comedian and podcast magnate Joe Rogan alongside UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier providing color commentary for the show.
The fourth person working the broadcast is Megan Olivi, who serves as the in-arena reporter for the event.
UFC officials confirmed the broadcast team to MMA Fighting on Monday.
While there’s no surprises with the trio calling the fights, Anik, Rogan and Cormier have plenty to discuss on Saturday particularly at the top with Alex Pereira returning for his third title defense in 2024 after vanquishing Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka in consecutive fights.
Pereira delivered a pair of vicious knockouts to dispatch Hill and Prochazka but now he’ll seek a fourth straight finish in a row when he faces an unlikely contender in Khalil Rountree Jr.
While he’s been a staple of the UFC roster since 2016, Rountree suffered through plenty of ups and downs as he effectively learned on the job after earning his contract with just four professional fights on his resume.
Following back-to-back losses in 2019 and 2021, Rountree has since rattled off five straight wins including a vicious TKO win over one-time title challenger Anthony Smith this past December that effectively put him into a position to fight for the title.
In the co-main event, Raquel Pennington defends her bantamweight title for the first time when she faces former champion Julianna Pena, who returns to action for the first time in over two years. Pena last fought back in 2022 when she lost in lopsided fashion to Amanda Nunes but now she’ll attempt to claim the title for the second time while Pennington looks to build on her six-fight win streak, which includes her championship victory over Mayra Bueno Silva in January.
