Why do you guys worship Joe Rogan?

[UncleMachidaEra]

The guy never fucking fought once outside of bullshit semi contact TKD, yet thinks he has the right to critique the striking of real fighters like Rampage and Khabib over the years. It's fucking annoying.

Now he's jumping on this "missing weight is cheating for an advantage" bandwagon, that REAL fighters with valid options on the subject got started about Dern. No one should ever miss weight but to compare the two situations is retarded. Family issues aside, one fighter missed by a few pounds and had a cap put on his ability to rehydrate. The other missed by 7 pounds and showed up looking like she hadn't even started a cut. It's fucking ridiculous.

Also the guy talks shit about JCVD but guess what, JCVD has the exact same amount of semi contact fights captured on video. With JCVD though, it was at least superior Karate...and you can see him taking home that gold son.

Missing weight is missing weight.

Rogan is very knowledgeable in MMA, therefore people listen to what he has to say. He's not always right, but his opinion on matters is very credible.

 

[Franc Mittelo]

I think the opinion on Joe Rogan is 50-50. At first it seems like he knows what he is talking about, and then when you start paying close attention, you realize that he just a "pleasure seeker" and he is not a valid and reliable source for anything.

You dont need to be a world beater to be a good analyst or even a coach. Does it help? absolutely.... but its not a must.

 

[Gilday]

I mean when you've been around the sport for over 20 years and you train yourself, you're gonna know what you're talking about most of the time

Sometimes he says dumb shit but he mostly knows what he's on about

Listened to a opinion for a couple mins = WORSHIP

I absolutely hate Sherdog-isms, but you’ve forced my hand...

U MAD BRO?

 

[Todd498]

Lol all jokes aside Rogan gets on my nerves sometimes too but not nearly as much as that douche box Schaub.

I agree about his striking skill, he has some nice kicks from his TKD days but here he is sparring with JWP and Parr is literally playing, and Rogan looks fucking terrible

I like him as a personality though, he knows his stuff about BJJ and I like his commentary style. You can tell the guy is passionate about the sport

Why yes, yes I do...

I also worship TRT, Science and the flatness of our world...

It's people like you that have made Schaub and Robin Black the voices of MMA to the rest of the world. Get the fuck out of here.

 

[tommi462]

I usually like Rogan, but with the latest fight companion I was really annoyed that they really didn't talk about the Allen fight at all. They just skipped it almost completely. They did acknowledge the guillotine, but missed the fight so completely they didn't even get what a great comeback victory it was.

Why even call it fight companion if they mostly just talk about stand up shit.

 

[SuperNerd]

Great timing, considering a week ago arguably the greatest MMA fighter off all time ended his discussion with Joe, with a training session, from Joe.

Joe Rogan knows what he's talking about for the most part. GSP went to him to learn spinning back kicks and he's a black belt under Eddie Bravo. Been watching MMA longer then most. There's plenty of people that never competed professionally that are very knowledgeable.
