My guess is that, if the UFC is indeed sold, Rogan will stay on if Dana White stays on. No Dana, no Joe.

Personally, I'd love to see Brian Stann do the big events, he's way more insightful.  Joe Rogan is a fan of the sport, maybe somewhat of an insider, but still doesn't have the understanding of the sport that a former fighter does.  Stann takes his job seriously and does his homework, too.  I've heard everything Joe Rogan has to say, he says the same things over and over and over again, and I think it's a great time to replace him.  Goldberg too, frankly.

Rogan has far more experience around martial arts than Brian Stann and doesn't put me to sleep like Stann does.

I believe Rogan to be gone either way end of 2016.  I would like to see Joe do 200 ppv's then leave, if he is to leave.

Sholler obviously the heir apparent to Dana. He is more network friendly and doesn't have the reputation like Dana.  Dana will mentor for 12-18 months than be gone.

Dana's staying, Rogan's not.

I've never really found Rogan's shrill screaming entertaining, I prefer a commentator who adds to the experience of watching fights with insight into what it going on, rather than distracting from it.  Rogan and Goldberg have been running on fumes for years.

He was a name before the UFC was popular.

I'd prefer if Rogan stayed and Goldberg went. Seriously, MFG has been around way too long now. How many times can we hear "IT IS ALL OVER" and listen to him broadcast inaccurate information. How many time does Joe have to correct him in the middle of a fight? Seems like once each time they broadcast together.

All that said, I'd love to see Brian Stann and Jon Anik call the action together for the big shows, or Stann and anyone ....
