We only speak like this of Rogan because we’ve been watching him for over a decade and we take him for granted.
Even if you were versed in striking when you started watching MMA, Rogan introduced a lot of lay men to BJJ.
Admittedly, I wasn’t versed in any martial arts when I started watching MMA in the early 00’s. Rogan’s commentary really highlighted the importance of leg kicks, body shots, and basic striking fundamentals in general. Not to mention, he explained the basics of BJJ grappling and gn’p. Rogan taught me what the guard is and what a rnc is.
We may be tired of him, but Rogan singlehandedly educated the masses on the basics of MMA. I just tune him out and enjoy the fights these days.
Highlighted the importance? He's hyping leg kicks in fights where they don't lead to anything. He's talkign as if somebody is broken down, yet nothing happens and the fight just moves along. He's completely fixated on them and it's annoying as fuck
