It's not just the fact that he shilled for Ronda, because let's face it, he does work for the UFC, and he does kind of ahve to get his shill on, but it's how far he took it, and in such an unnecessary aand way too extra of manner.
He's one of THE biggest contributors to the Ronda hype train, and added fuel to the feminine agenda, and the compete nonsensical ultra hyping of Ronda.
I mean, seriously, he's like 80% to blame for Ronda acting so entitled, and like she was literally a goddess.
For that, he can never get his respect back. There were guys with just as much MMA knowledge as Joe, and a similar platform to Joe's, and none of them sold out like he did. He took it to levels that he can never ever come back from. He lost his MMA nerd/hardcore license for life with that move.
