Joe Rogan won't be commentating at UFC 304 as an MMA legend will fill his spot in the broadcast team.
Rogan was in the commentary booth for last month's UFC 303, which was headlined by Alex Pereira's stunning victory over Jiri Prochazka.
But he will stay at home when the MMA leaders return to England for the first time since July 2023.

The famed Octagon will set up shop at the Co-op Live in Manchester for Saturday's UFC 304.
Former UFC champion Michael Bisping, who grew up in Clitheroe, Lancashire, will take Rogan's place for the promotion's stacked card and he'll be joined by Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier.
Since signing a new deal with the UFC, Rogan no longer does international shows, with Bisping often filling his void for pay-per-view cards outside of the United States.

"I signed for at least one more year. I was on the fence man, I just do too much shit," he explained.
"I’m too f**king busy. I don’t know if I’m doing myself or all the other things I do a disservice.
"I had a conversation with Dana [White], we had a bunch of conversations. What I decided to do was no more international travel. No more flying across the planet."

Bisping and Cormier, meanwhile, will team up with John Gooden and Michael 'Venom' Page for the official UFC 304 weigh-in show on Friday.
Former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen, Laura Sanko and Din Thomas will serve as desk analysts on the UFC 304 post-fight show, with Brett Okamoto serving as the host.
Megan Olivi will conduct backstage interviews before and after UFC 304 as well as report on real-time updates for the event.
And the 'voice of the Octagon' Bruce Buffer will be announcing the fighters at UFC 304.
