UFC 293: Laura Senko Makes PPV Commentary Debut as Joe Rogan Set to miss

At the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Laura Senko steps into the PPV commentary booth for the very first time. This marks a pivotal juncture in her career, and she’s been nothing short of stellar in the role she’s taken on since her UFC debut back in January.

Notably, Senko has become a familiar and regular voice on the Dana White Contender Series, earning her name in the company. Now, with this upcoming event, she’s poised to make her PPV commentary debut, adding another exciting chapter to her impressive journey in the sport.

According to MMA Junkie, Laura Senko is set to team up with Jon Anik, alongside the beloved former UFC champion and commentator, Daniel Cormier, for the upcoming event in Sydney, Australia. Notably, the iconic UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, won’t be part of the commentary lineup for this event. 

The absence of Rogan has become usual for the fans as he likes to stick to UFC pay-per-view events within the United States. While the exact reason hasn’t been officially confirmed, it’s widely believed that he avoids international events due to scheduling conflicts stemming from his various commitments, including stand-up comedy and podcasting. 

Although Michael Bisping usually steps in as the regular replacement for Joe Rogan, even he won’t be part of this event’s commentary team. This means fans can look forward to enjoying the commentary trio of Laura Senko, Daniel Cormier, and Jon Anik, offering a unique and exciting perspective for the upcoming event.
