In football and in handegg, in golf, in boxing and in tennis, the top pundits that weigh in on the sport's athletes are without exception ex-pros and coaches. People who can offer a revealing insight in to the sport's world, people who can offer their 2 cents on contests based on their experiences in the game.
Why then, is Joe Rogan the man MMA fans go to for expert opinion? How is he in a position to question CM Punk's credentials? Who can paint a more accurate picture of what it's like in the octagon, Rogan or Punk?
To be clear, we're not talking about a commentator who's hired for his 'broadcasters voice' - Joe Rogan enjoys a loftier position than mere commentator, he is considered expert and not just any expert, 'the' expert. How and why?
