What're your favorite (serious) commentary moments with Rogan as the commentator?

[generalyum]

Obviously Rogan's had his massive fucking shares of screw ups Ls in his commentary tenure. His opinions can be flat out trash sometimes too (ex. stating that Ronda Rousey could beat half the men's Bantamweight division at the time).But excluding random moments like the ice bucket or correcting Goldie on Lutter being the Michael Jordan of BJJ (lol) , what're some positive moments you recall? A couple from me:

- Belcher vs. Palhares - This was around the time I started really getting into BJJ. It was insightful hearing a clear breakdown of the different positions that were a bit more complex to me
- TKZ vs. Garcia 2 - It was cool that Rogan knew a Twister was coming. I'm not sure if other commentators would've picked up on that from the get-go

FWIF; not expecting this thread to end well lol

Hahaha I remember this. Damn I haven't seen this one in awhile but it's timeless

All I remember is Rogan's outrageous over exaggerations and blunders.

I used to like Rogan for his genuine excitement for the sport.

Now he's a joke, and a corporate whore.

I can't say I disagree

You're my whore, mfer.

Rogan is a whore too btw, he refuses to acknowledge all the atrocities that the fighters face. It's sad because he has the biggest platform in the world with his podcast.

Top earner mothafucka, don't forget that shit lol.


Rogan hasn't been worth anything in almost a decade, maybe more.

Y'all remember his flip out over the spilt ice? lol

@StonedLemur has it right tho... guy does not even commentate on what is happening, will be shilling about a guy who is losing, ignoring big shots by their opponent that that once he would have hollered about.

Anyways... I remember 'He's blown his wad!' and 'That's a badonkadonk' lol.

And him saying about Randy Couture: 'THAT MAN IS MY HEROOOO!' as he entered the cage.

But...

If Joe can't be objective and interested in the fight, I would prefer that he stop commentating. Listening to him try to influence public opinion, and judges via his commentary, or even the outcomes of fights via his instructions to fighters is offensive.

During Covid I came to respect him again, as a man, and think that is surely fading with his horrible bias.

And yeah, I am drinking.

"IT'S IN DEEP!"


lol

 

[StonedLemur]

I can't say I disagree

He started believing his own bullshit, and surrounded himself with weak people that act like hes god.

 

[StonedLemur]

"IT'S IN DEEP!"


lol

You might be drinking but you're still right sir.

It's a toss up, between him repeating "He's hurt; he's hurt" after every significant strike & screaming "Whoaaa" over and over again ...

 

[Diktaattori]

OH HE'S HURT, HE'S ROCKED

 

[d2s]

The Belcher x Paul Harris fight is the most animated he's ever been in a fight. He was screaming instructions at Belcher. "GET OUTTA THERE ALAN!!"
He is a meme now though. When it's him and DC now it's just a complete joke.

man i dont even get the Rogan hate. Im bummed that e turned into a low key right winger/conspiracy theorist snd it reflects in his podcsst, but i feel like people dont realize how good we hsve it; commentator who not only was active in the fight game, is respected by fellow athletes, but is a guy who was a champion for a counter culture cause, was the Jack Kerouac of the podcast age, gives a platform to freakin biochemists, mycologists, comedians, engineers and the famous and infamous alike, has continued to evolve his non entertainment persona (hunting, vehicles)

like, what other announcers/analysts are you guys using as benchmarks? I dont follow any other sport as closely; during the super bowl Tony Romo was pretty good, but he don't hsve a lick of talent compared to Joe.
