Joe Rogan has made absolutely no secret of his plans to hang up his headset for good if the rumoured UFC sale is confirmed.

The long-time commentator of the UFC, who has been with the company since 1997, has no interest in staying behind the mic if the Fertitta brothers sell the promotion to the investment group including William Morris Endeavor-IMG agency, Dalian Wanda, Tencent and the Kraft Group.
It was believed that the deal had gone through last week, with an announcement expected in the run-up to UFC 200 but the company continues to deny those claims.
And if Rogan does decide to call time on his commentary career, his good friend and former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub only has one man in mind for his replacement.
Schaub, speaking on his podcast The Fighter and the Kid, identified former UFC middleweight challenger Chael Sonnen for the position.
“The one guy I would like to see in place of him (Rogan) would be Chael Sonnen,” Schaub said.
“A guy who knows the sport, has some personality, obviously fucking fought forever.”
Sonnen would definitely add colour to the colour commentary.
