UFC Fight Night 273 capped off a busy March for the promotion this Saturday, live from the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg. The event promises thrilling action, and the broadcast team assembled to guide fans through it features some notable names stepping into new roles.
Leading the desk as host will be the experienced Megan Olivi. She'll be joined by a compelling analyst duo: recent retiree and "The Ultimate Fighter 15" winner Michael Chiesa, making his first broadcast assignment since hanging up his gloves, and former light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith, who returns to the UFC desk fresh off a victory outside the promotion.
From cageside, Brendan Fitzgerald will handle the play-by-play duties. He'll be flanked by color commentators Laura Sanko and retired lightweight contender Paul Felder, offering sharp technical insights throughout the fights. Veteran announcer Joe Martinez will bring his iconic energy to fighter introductions and official results inside the octagon.
Rounding out the team, UFC correspondent Heidi Androl will provide crucial backstage access, conducting pre- and post-fight interviews with the athletes and delivering real-time updates. For viewers in the United States, the entire UFC Fight Night 273 card streams on Paramount+, with the main card kicking off at 8 p.m. ET following prelims at 5 p.m. ET.
