UFC 309 broadcast team: Daniel Cormier set to call main event between former rivals Jon Jones, Stipe Miocic

Daniel Cormier is set to call the UFC 309 main event where two of his greatest rivals meet with the heavyweight title on the line.

Jon Jones returns to action to face Stipe Miocic in a long-awaited showdown between two all-time greats to cap off the event from Madison Square Garden in New York. The fight was originally scheduled for November 2023 but Jones suffered a torn pectoral muscle that delayed the fight for a year.

While Cormier is no stranger to calling fights involving some of his former opponents, Saturday’s main event is particularly interesting considering Jones and Miocic were arguably the toughest challenges he faced during his Hall of Fame career. He faced them a combined five times during his career so Cormier certainly knows Jones and Miocic better than most.

Cormier is joined on the broadcast by play-by-plan man Jon Anik and comedian/podcaster Joe Rogan as the three-man booth calling UFC 309.

Megan Olivi is set to serve as the in-arena reporter for the event with Din Thomas providing analysis throughout the event.

UFC officials confirmed the broadcast team to MMA Fighting on Tuesday. MMA Junkie was the first to break the news.

UFC 309 also features a five-round co-main event when former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira takes on Michael Chandler in a rematch. In their previous encounter, Oliviera survived a near finish in the opening round and then put Chandler away in the second round to claim the vacant 155-pound title.

Now they meet again just over three years later with the winner almost certainly jumping right back into title contention in the lightweight division.

The UFC 309 pay-per-view main card kicks off at 10 p.m. ET with the prelims set to begin at 6 p.m. ET with 13 total fights scheduled from New York.
