Rogan: "No Stand Ups in MMA" - Cue 2 Minutes of Moaning About Abdelwahab vs Mayes

[Siver!]

Man, what the hell are Rogan and DC talking about tonight?

First Rogan is like 'there shouldn't be any stand ups in MMA', like he actively wants to disincentivize action. NO STAND UPS? Well why would you risk going for a punch, elbow or submission if activity is absolutely not required?

Then we get 2 minutes of non-stop moaning in Round Three of Abdelwahab vs Mayes about a stand up that DOESN'T EVEN HAPPEN until there's 50 seconds left - and then Rogan screams 'OHHH' like we're witnessing a major miscarriage of justice!

Just retire, Rogan, that was a hack-esque performance. We all know Cormier is a wrestler and will enjoy a bit of wrestling, but when Abdelwahab is doing absolutely nothing for 4:10 of a round, why can't we have a stand up? Because we've decided we've changed the rules based on who's commentating?

Embarrassing nonsense on the UFC broadcast.

Believe he was referring to stand up comedians... Like stand up comedians shouldn't be in MMA.

I like Rogan but he really belabors his gripes.

Joe Rogan also said we have to ignore Olivera’s loses and only focus on the wins. Rogan is the master of convenient quotes. He says whatever is convenient at the moment.

It was a garbage standup.

To be fair, sometimes we as fans can wish for a different rule set and also criticize a ref on the existing rule set.

I imagine Joe can suffer from the same ability to, you know, the mental ability of walking and chewing gum at the same time.

It’s boring fights like that where I miss the Pride rules.

He’s right though, if you can’t get the guy off you then you shouldn’t be rewarded.

Just your lame opinion and I told you….It’s an opinion.

There is no definite rubric on stand ups that is ENFORCED!

Rogan also believes MMA fights should take place in giant football fields. Dude's no better than a white belt Sherdogger these days.

Fight wasn't boring at all.

Not my fault you don't actually like MMA.

 

[Ares Black]

Stand-ups should be extremely rare.

They literally format fights with rounds because, well, fuck someone lying on top of someone.

The whole set up of MMA is geared towards stuff actually happening.

we got an MMA hipster here. This nerd writes the rules on what ppl can enjoy.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Why does he want UFC to go out of business?!

For some reason he thinks that's realistic yet in every kind of street fight you'll have actual walls and objects that confine you into an area. Infinite Tekken stages don't exist Rogan.

You can say whatever you want, but don't be shocked if people make fun of you for it.

It was a garbage standup from a garbage ref. Abdelwahad was literally punching Mayes in the face when the ref stepped in.
