When’s the last time Rogan has called a UFC champion “amateurish” like he did with Khabib?

[Dozer .]

Is this the first time Rogan has said this about a champion?

 

[Touch of Death]

GSP is the GOAT.

 

[Gabe]

Same guy who creamed his pants over Ronda.

So the man can't learn from his previous mistakes and call out Honda level striking when he sees it? If anything you should be proud of Rogan.

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Always butthurt about SOMETHING eh Dozer?

 

[Workaholic]

Same guy who creamed his pants over Ronda.

Honestly it's hilarious when you put it in those terms

 

[KantoTerror]

Rogan must be on his prime grass that day...the dude is undefeated...dominates his competition...
CM Punk
Sage Northcutt
those are amateur-ish...

Ronda has never won a full round of pure striking in her entire career. Khabib just won two.

Haha you will miss Dozer when he’s gone

Rogan had previously praised Khabib as a superhuman destroyer who steamrolls all opponents.(listen to the commentary in the Barboza fight. You'd think Barboza was being attacked by a grizzly). He just swung hard in the other direction when Khabib looked human.

Because she knocked them out before the round ended.

khabib wasn't the champion at that time. He did say he was dominant and spoke his praises on many occasions. It was lopsided and a little boring to the avg viewer and he was trying to keep the interest with drama that really wasn't there.

Matt Serra knocked out GSP. Sometimes shitty strikers get an early KO.
If you beat someone for full rounds, and your opponent has absolutely no answer, you are a better striker than your opponent.

I think Rogan just expected more from Khabib. Yes, he dominated the fight. But I think Rogan was just expecting Khabib to make quick work of the match up and he didn't. He took a different path to victory that had Rogan scratching his head and saying the things he did.


P.S: Personally, I think Khabib wanted to get some cage time. He knew Al offered nothing for him after the 2nd round. So he worked on his stand up game.

Doesn't necessarily mean you're a good striker though.

 

[The Pied Pooper]

So, are you under the impression that Khabib has world lass striking or something?

 

[PabloMEX]

A once ever athlete.

 

[Taric]

I'm pretty sure nobody is calling Khabib the next Anderson Silva.

 

[NationWideNinja]

Dude gets so carried away its embarrasing. Ronda knocks dead accountants and shes a “once ever” athlete. Khabib looks human while dominating and he’s acting like Al is pushing his shit in.

 

[Jon eddward]

Don't know if it's been warranted before. It was this time.
