towhatend Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yes he is an excellent commentator and his passion and knowledge about the sport is unprecedented. I wish sometimes he would be a bit less obvious about his biases - mainly when a fighter losses (see Daley vs Hazelett at 108 and Velasquez vs Nogueira at 110) - but overall I enjoy his commentary very much. If you don't appreciate it watch Strikeforce for a night and get back to me if you don't cringe during the broadcast and even more during post-fight interviews. Yikes it's bad!

Rumble170cHAMP Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Joe Rogan is good. Mike Golberg is not at all but his comments make me laugh so I guess its all good. They work together well lol. lol best one ever is forrest griffin vs tito ortiz 2. when titos mouthpieced is knocked out and josh ronsenthal say to ortiz " do you want it rinsed or no? " and Joe Rogans says, "It Landed on the ground!. No, just spit on it and put it back in, of course he wants it rinsed!." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makembite Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Joe Rogan is VERY knowledgable when it comes to his mma commentary. He understands many aspects of the sport that your average ham n egger would miss. His insights on match-ups stems from personal relationships with many of mma's top competitors. That being said, he tends to allow his admiration for some of his favorite fighters(and loathing of his least favorite fighters) to color his commentary in a very biased way. You only have to watch GSP v Fitch or GSP v Hughes to realize that. If he could manage to call fights as they happen and not as he'd like to see them, he would be respected way more. He is however a part of the UFC's lure to mainstream TV so I gotta give him props for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxymoron5k Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Ya, I will say if Rogan has one flaw, its that he does favor some fighters sometimes..but dam its gotta be hard not to favor your favorite fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFergMan Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Joe Rogan is an excellent commentator and fine human being. He is enlightened to the true ways of the world. His drug advocacy is only for things that can potentially help your life experience and are either harmless or completely natural in the environment. And for all of those who have never seen him do stand up, it is an experience everyone should enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtp Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 "Paul Buentello is getting molested." - Joe Rogan or "He has him in a choke I have never seen before!" - Mike Goldberg "That would be the rear naked choke." - Joe Rogan Probably the best things Ive heard come out of the commentary. I think Joe makes the knowledge hilarious, and Mike is the best to lead Joe into hypeing the fight. They are the best commentator team in MMA. Chuvello an Bs Rutten would be good too though.

CKH09 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 yeah drug! He isn't a drug advocate, he is a marijuana advocate. Imo, way less lethal than alcohol. How many times does somebody thats stoned go out and pick a fight at the bar or cause an accident? Not very often. How many deaths can be excusively blame on marijuana? Absolutely none. How many deaths are directly related to alcohol? Millions. Don't make dumb comments if, you don't know what you are talking about.

The subjects almost never had just anabolic steroids in their system, they were given massive doses that most people can not afford let alone would know how to take effectively... yada, yada, yada. The same goes with other drugs such as LSD. They gave mice 160 micrograms of LSD per dose three times a day over three weeks and said "Oh, look they went nuts!" When in actuallity it takes roughly 2-5 micrograms for a human sized subject to feel the effects. New peer reviewed less biased research is taking place; to stay on the LSD trip (no pun intended). A newer molecule LSD Brohmide has been tested for it's properties in curing migraines and cluster headaches. It's results are astounding and it does not cause the "trip" because the molecule is too large. They are also using anabolic steroids in low doses on growth stunted and geriatric patients with positive results and almost no negative side effects. This research is also peer reviewed, but recieves a greater amount of over sight and scrutiny due to negative connotations from research done in the 60's or earlier. I am currently in the military and do not advocate the use of any drug or supplement, further more I am not taking a side, but things are rarely just "bad" or "good." They have to be placed in some sort of context when judged. People are going to misuse anything they can. Whether it's legal or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
