Joe Rogan skips second straight PPV for hunting trip; Paul Felder steps in at UFC 266

For the second straight pay-per-view event in a row, Joe Rogan won’t be present in the broadcast booth at cageside. As sources told MMA Junkie, the long-time UFC analyst had a schedule conflict with his annual hunting trip, therefore preventing him from fulfilling his supposed role at UFC 266 on Saturday.

Rogan also skipped his commentary duties at UFC 265 last month because of a similar reason. At the time, it was because he was set to travel to Wisconsin for a comedy tour.

Stepping in his stead is retired UFC lightweight contender Paul Felder, who’s so far done a splendid job since he got on board in 2017.
