The commentary team has been finalized for this Saturday`s highly anticipated UFC 314 event.
Sources within the promotion have confirmed that the broadcast booth for the Alexander Volkanovski versus Diego Lopes headline pay-per-view will feature Jon Anik as the play-by-play announcer, alongside former two-division champion Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan providing color commentary.
Din Thomas will serve as the coaching analyst, and Megan Olivi will be reporting live from Miami.
The analyst desk will include prominent figures such as former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen, former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier, and one-time light heavyweight title contender Anthony Smith. Brett Okamoto will host the desk, and Anik will return to host the post-fight show.
Furthermore, Dan Hellie will host Friday`s UFC 314 weigh-in show, joined by Cormier, former middleweight champion Chris Weidman, and commentator Laura Sanko.
Volkanovski and Lopes will compete for the vacant featherweight title in the main event of UFC 314, while Michael Chandler will face Paddy Pimblett in a five-round lightweight co-main event.
