UFC 310 broadcast team: Usual suspects close out final PPV card of 2024
UFC 310 closes the pay-per-view lineup for the promotion in 2024 with the regular cast of characters calling the fights on Saturday.
Jon Anik provides play-by-play to lead the broadcast team with veteran color commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier joining him to call the fights. The lead trio for the UFC’s pay-per-views rarely miss a show together in the United States and that’s no different for the card on Saturday where Alexandre Pantoja defends his flyweight title against newcomer Kai Asakura in the main event.
Joining Anik, Rogan and Cormier on the broadcast is Megan Olivi, who serves as the reporter in the arena, along with Din Thomas providing technical analysis as the coach during the event.
UFC officials confirmed the broadcast lineup to MMA Fighting on Monday.
The card takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with the show taking a hit when welterweight champion Belal Muhammad was forced out of the main event when he ended up in the hospital with a foot infection. His opponent Shavkat Rakhmonov remained on the card in a five-round co-main event against Ian Machado Gary with Pantoja vs. Asakura getting bumped up to the headline spot.
A quick look at ticket sales shows that there are still a lot of seats available for Saturday’s pay-per-view, which is unusual with the UFC continuing to set record numbers throughout 2024 when it comes to live gates and attendance.
It’s seems highly unlikely that UFC 310 ends up as a sellout, although last minute ticket sales may drive that number up in the coming days.
The pay-per-view card kicks off at 10 p.m. ET on Saturday on ESPN+ pay-per-view with the prelims set to kick off at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
