Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is inching closer to its UFC 309 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for this Sat. night (Nov. 16, 2024) at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Headlining this weekend’s mixed martial arts (MMA) fight card will be the heavyweight title fight pitting reigning division kingpin Jon Jones against former 265-pound titleholder Stipe Miocic. In the UFC 309 co-main event, former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira looks to go two-up against 155-pound “Iron” man Michael Chandler.
Not surprisingly, the promotion will roll out its A-team for broadcast and commentary duties.
Longtime play-by-play man Jon Anik leads the cageside charge, alongside color commentary legend Joe Rogan and former UFC two-division champion Daniel Cormier. As usual, “Veteran Voice of the Octagon” Bruce Buffer will handle fighter walkouts while roving reporter Megan Olivi covers pre- and post-fight interviews.
That’s according to MMA Junkie.
In addition, retired UFC middleweight Chael Sonnen and current 205-pound contender Anthony Smith will serve as desk analysts for the UFC 309 post-fight show (and throughout the card), joining former UFC lightweight Paul Felder and reputable sportscaster Brendan Fitzgerald for all the combat sports chatter in “The Empire State.”
