The promotion officially announced via a series of tweets that former three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen, former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo, and former Invicta featherweight champion, Felicia Spencer, all will serve as commentators along with Cyrus Fees for the event. Additionally, Rey Flores will be the announcer for the broadcast, with Jennifer Sterger handling reporting duties.

ESPN's Brett Okamoto provided additional reporting on the event that reigning UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, will also join the broadcast team for Eagle FC 44 as an analyst on a pre-fight show with Cejudo, Nurmagomedov, and Sonnen that will air via YouTube.
Khabib Nurmagomedov's Eagle FC promotion makes its US debut this week. Ali Abdelaziz (@AliAbdelaziz00) told me that before the event, there will be a YouTube pre-fight show with Khabib, Kamaru Usman, Henry Cejudo and Chael Sonnen ... which sounds ... kind of amazing lol.
