Has Joe Rogan Ever Gone out and Visciously Bury another Fighter Before?

[THE-06]

That last broadcast was very atypical of Joe Rogan, and I'm trying to guess why. Sure, Joe has shown some bias before, but he has never gone out of his way to absolutely bury a rising prospect or someone unfamiliar to the casual fan.

So why did he do it? I think the problem is two colored guys on commentary. You have two guys essentially competing for the same job, and they are trying to assert the dominance. Remember when Joe screamed, "OMG AL'S GOT A GUILLOTINE." Jimmy came back and responded a guillotine would be fruitless since Khabib wasn't in Al's guard, and before Jimmy even finishes his sentence, Joe cuts him off to correct himself.

I think Joe feels threatened by Jimmy, and tried his best to sound clever. With his 200IQ, Joe tried to show how Khabib wasn't really that good... But in doing so, he completely buried the hottest fighter in the game right now.

He will probably bury Dom Cruz the next time he fights just to get him back

Manlets man.. always got something to prove

 

[VAfan]

he's switched over from pot to coke.

 

[RyuHayabusa]

Joe was analysing how i was analysing watching those particular rounds, except he shouldnt have done it on air lol.

The intense analysism got the better of him and he got carried away

They did fine. They're talking in the moment. Joe wants Jimmy there and Jimmy wants Joe there.

i agree, but unfortunately its not their decision. Why pay for 2 color guys when you can pay for 1. Joe is training his replacement

The hottest fighter in the game right now?

 

[fearoth]

Joe is not renewing his contract

 

[Mondo Freaks]

this again? Rogan already put out a statement that said he was expecting more from Khabib because he respects him so much. He apologized about it yesterday.

“ Another “ fighter...

That denotes Rogan being a fighter himself.

Yeah, right.

 

[Kaffebaggel]

I think you'd be surprised....

Yeah, Joe has been very public the last few years that he wants to be phased out. What's your point? This isn't a scandal, this is Joe Jitsu 101.

Joe Rogan seems to deal exclusively in hyperbole.

He's either hyping a fighter ridiculously to the moon (welcome to the Machida Era, Ronda is a once ever athlete who can beat 50% of the men's 135lb division, etc), or he's being completely unfair to them.

 

[Bad Karate]

I am a huge Rogan fan.

I don't see why sherdog hates him so much.

That being said he was terrible in the khabib fight.

It's not very exciting to sit there and say that anything Al was trying was pointless. Sometimes you gotta embellish a little bit.

 

[Couch Ninja]

Joe says Khabib keeps his chin high, half of the mma world loses its shit... If the fighters had butts as sore as the fans, no one would be able to fight

Almost like... it's his job or something. Weird

He didn't viciously bury him. He was surprised by Al's fortitude and ability to show a couple holes in Khabib's game. They were small considering Khabib was kinda f'n around. But they were also there. Nothing wrong with him pointing them out and being high on Al surviving.

 

[Dozer .]

Rogan is trash. He’s tried to bury Aldo a couple of times.
