That doesn't read like an apology at all.

Because this happened to Joe backstage. Actual photo of Khabib chastising Rogaine:

Thats because you didnt read it, he clearly apologizes in that wall of text.

"My goal is to highlight the action"

When Khabib landed strikes or takedowns, Joe was uncharacteristically silent......

Don't bring facts into this. That's not fair to Joe. Facts are never on his side.

 

[VAfan]

he writes exactly like he talks.

 

[Jermu]

only times i have not liked joe commentating was that fight and every time cruz is with him.

 

[Final Say]

Everything in this caption should've been common sense

But most viewers are retarded as fuck

No problem with joe. I could barely hear his commentary btw, I was at a bar

 

[MayhemMonkey]

he shouldnt have to apologise that some goons were upset he wasnt sucking Khabibs nuts the whole fight..... he showed flaws in his style and its Joe's job to mention things he sees

Rogan always exaggerates shit and its getting annoying.

Before this fight he was the biggest Khabib dick rider and then he went over the top with the criticism in a fight Khabib dominated. The truth was always in the middle, he'd have known that if he wasn't such a drama queen.

After three dozen sentences of talking about completely insane and unrealistic expectations like Khabib failing to finish Al, when Khabib has a 40% finish rate inside the UFC and didn't finish Pat Healy or Abel Trujillo either, he says he's sorry. What he wrote wasn't an apology.

Khabib did have holes in his game, he had no head movement and Joe pointed that out. I dont understand why he needs to apologize, he praised Khabib 90% of the time in the fight.

 

[SpecialDelivery]

NEVER apolgize for saying how you feel, no matter who gets offended

 

[deman]

WOW.

This is somewhat similar to his commentary during the Diaz/Condit fight from years ago. Rogan made a big deal of anything Condit landed & openly stated he was winning the fight numerous times. He later admitted, after watching it back, that he gave Diaz the fight & that his commentary was influenced by expecting Diaz to win more comfortably.

When someone says sorry it's an apology

Calling Khabib's striking amateurish was a ridiculous comment to make. He behaved like a sherdogger not a professional commentator.
