Bow out gracefully Joe

[Raxel]

Rogan taught me a lot back in the early days when it was just him and Goldy. But now it’s just getting embarrassing…nobody will call him out for ZERO prep work like Dom did with DC…and i get it, i’m sure he’s got way more on his plate on a day to day basis than he did 15 years ago…but dude, your just showing up and yelling random noises into the mic at this point…you’d think as much as he “constantly seeks self improvement” he’d see the writing on the wall…either be a professional and put SOME effort into your job, or bow out gracefully…he’s gonna stick around until uncle Dana leaves, just so he can say he left with White…pride goeth before the fall

…and another thing…why the 3 man commentary? Anik is the gold standard, but when have the other two, whoever they are, NOT talked over/interrupted/apologized for interrupting each other?

Rogan and DC together is comedy. Two blithering dolts clapping each other on the back. I feel like Anik is more alert and observant than either, but doesn't want to disrespect them by contradicting them.

 

[AtlSteel]

He's a bagillionaire. Pretty sure he doesn't care what anybody thinks.

 

[Fact Checker]

I usually like Rogan, but he was terrible tonight. I think dude was tripping out on something.

He's a bagillionaire. Pretty sure he doesn't care what anybody thinks.

Specially when it's a douchebag loser with an alt sherdog account.

 

[theincognito]

Rogan is fuckin awful. At one point during the broadcast he literally claimed "Sterling dominated Yan"...

 

[Sgt Smith]

He's gotten really bad. His calls on the ground are near comical these days because they are often entirely wrong and the exact opposite occurs. I don't know if he's phoned it in or what, but it's not great for what is supposed to be the premier MMA promotion on the planet. Of course, maybe the recognition he brings is more important than his booth skills to the UFC. Most events he's involved with are a commentary train wreck.

They really should go back to white belts not having the ability to create threads

Joe Rogan is the Larry Merchant of MMA. By which I mean he makes a fool of himself consistently. They'll let him commentate until he shows undeniable signs of dimentia.

but DC has a very high Fight IQ and is great at explaining whats going on.. def makes its understandable to a casual or a new person to the sport

 

[HatKick]

Used to be great but should have been replaced years ago. Obviously has too much going on to do his research. Calls the highest level MMA fights in the world in front of millions of people and treats it like a part time hobby. It's kinda preposterous.

 

[mmamxfan]

Take it back! I can't even fathom how you could shit talk Joe "Bro Jesus" Rogan and his vast knowledge in ........pretty much everything under the sun!

 

[surgeyou1]

You can just tell when he has a pre conceived narrative heading into the fight and just stays the course no matter what is actually happening in the fight. He does it more and more lately. Not sure if it's just inflated ego or lack of fucks anymore.

 

[KarateYeah]

Post fight he said Zhang could be the greatest women fighter of all time!

Cant defend that Lol

 

[ForeverYoung]

There's nobody to take his place really. Nobody wants to hear Felder or Bisping drool over every Philly/UK fighter constantly or Dom act like a condescending douche for 4 hours on a Saturday.

I think posters who worry about other posters' status are gay. Get a life, loser.

Larry Merchant. Oh fuck. "His relationship with his father harkens back to the days of yore, when fathers were ..." Could not stand Merchant.

I don't really care about who's in the commentary box, DC is fun and Joe brings the nostalgia but I do get sick of Joe completely overreacting by losing his shit to every single submission attempt or every single strike..."Oh he's hurt!" "He's rocked!" "It's tight!"

I don't think there's anybody to really replace him, I think it would be fun if they would rotate the commentary team more, I really wish they utilized Stephan Bonnar somehow in the UFC commentary or on a panel, I'll never understand why he was never given an opportunity, he was hilarious, whitty and knowledgeable.

 

[Morning Star]

Rogan gets to go out on his terms like it or not. Shit on him all you like the guy has done more for the sport than almost anyone on the planet in regards to making it mainstream.

My favorite exchange was weili was getting a choke attempted against her:

Joe says something like "oh man it's really tight!"

DC: "Yea it is"

DC: She's out

This was all in a span of 5 seconds lol
