UFC 316 will deliver 13 fights at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday night.
On Monday, it was confirmed that Joe Rogan will be on commentary duty with Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik.
It was also revealed Mike Tyson’s ex-coach, Teddy Atlas, will be a part of the broadcast team.
A lightweight bout between two relatively unknown prospects has also joined the UFC 316 fight card.
UFC 316 gets a late addition
10-1 prospect MarQuel Mederos will face 8-0 promotional newcomer Mark Choinski this weekend.
The 155lb duo will kick off the card headlined by a bantamweight title rematch between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley.
Mederos was supposed to square off against Bolaji Oki at UFC Vegas 107 this past weekend.
An illness saw him fall off the card before Oki beat late-replacement opponent Michael Aswell by unanimous decision.
It appears Mederos has quickly shrugged off his illness, which threatened to stagnate his UFC career.
The 28-year-old will look to go 3-0 in the Octagon at UFC 316 after previous wins over Austin Hubbard and Landon Quinones.
Meanwhile, Choinski is coming off a submission win on an MMA show promoted by Anthony Pettis.
The 29-year-old was due to face Zach Zane on June 15, but that fight has been scrapped as Choinski will make his UFC debut instead.
