Joe Rogan has declined to commentate at the UFC 315 tournament, headlined by the fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena.
He stated that he would rather go to Russia than to Canada, where UFC 315 will take place. This tournament is scheduled for May 10th in Montreal and also includes a flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Manon Fiorot.
Rogan explained that he no longer commentates on fights outside the US, citing his unwillingness to travel and be away from home.
Although a trip to Canada is not far, the current political tensions between the US and Canada, including trade disputes, seem to be influencing his decision. He even mentioned a conversation with Donald Trump about the possibility of Canada joining the US as a joke.
In Rogan`s absence, Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier are expected to commentate on the fights, and the UFC will find a replacement for him for this event.
