Four Hall of Famers join Rogan and Anik to call UFC's White House card on June 13
The UFC has confirmed its broadcast team for the historic White House event on June 13, with Jon Anik and Joe Rogan on commentary alongside Daniel Cormier, while Michael Bisping, Chris Weidman and Dominick Cruz provide desk analysis.
The UFC has confirmed a broadcast lineup stacked with Hall of Famers for its June 13 card on the south lawn of the White House in Washington D.C., headlined by a lightweight title unification bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje.
Jon Anik handles play-by-play duties, joined in the booth by comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan on colour commentary and former two-division champion Daniel Cormier as the third analyst — the promotion’s familiar three-man team for major events. UFC officials confirmed the lineup to MMA Fighting.
Megan Olivi serves as the in-house reporter covering backstage interviews and sideline duties throughout the card, while Bruce Buffer returns as ring announcer for the seven-fight bill.
Veteran play-by-play broadcaster Brendan Fitzgerald hosts from the analyst desk, flanked by former UFC champions and Hall of Famers Michael Bisping, Chris Weidman and Dominick Cruz, who will provide analysis across the full card.
The main event sees reigning lightweight champion Topuria square off against interim title holder Gaethje in a unification fight. The co-main event will crown an interim heavyweight champion, with Ciryl Gane taking on Alex Pereira.
The card gets under way at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday.
