UFC commentator and world renowned podcaster Joe Rogan usually tends to be at the most important UFC events of the year. The UFC 304 event is taking place in the city of Manchester, England on Saturday July 27. For that card, Welterweight champion Leon Edwards is set to defend his belt against Belal Muhammad. For the co-main event, interim Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall is facing Curtis Blaydes and defending his title while Jon Jones returns from his injury. In the Lightweight division, Sco Paddy Pimblett is facing Bobby Green in order to keep making strides that can eventually land him the chance to fight for a belt. But people want to knwo if they will get Joe Rogan to comment on this event.
In order to know what's going on, we have to go back to one of the most recent JRE Fight Companion episode on 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. During that show for another UFC Fight Night, comedian Bryan Callen revealed that Brendan Schaub won't be attending the fight companion for next weekend's event. Initially, people though Joe Rogan might be traveling to Machester but the reality is very different. According to recent official reports, Michael Bisping will be the one replacing Joe Rogan on that event as he will Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier as part of the live commentary team. Meaning that Joe Rogan won't be traveling to Manchester next Saturday.
