Joe Rogan is a twat

[Irishbc]

loud, biased, screams far too much and licks up the hole of anybody who is BJJ based, and his commentary of the striking is awful(looping punches and "good combination" when a fighter throws a sloppy combo that doesn't connect does not make good commentary)

one of the most un-proffessional idiots I've ever seen or heard, and is one of the reasons I stopped watching MMA. Not to mention his pro-blow campaign, this stoner moron needs to be shot before he does it himself one joint at a time.

and people say "oh he knows the game and hes not a yes man" no he knows BJJ and fuck all else, and hes the biggestyes man in the buisness, his commentary during the Griffin-Rampage fight not to mention the Gono farce was a disgrace.oh TKD US open champion? big whoop, he said himself that its "an almost useless martil art" and his commentary of the striking is abysmal, he knows jack shit about hand to hand combat in my opinion.

"You've got Joe Rogan going apeshit over a few leg kicks, oblivious to everything else going on"- Stephan Bonnar.

couldn't say it any better, so he knows what a gogoplata is, again, big whoop.

Get idiots like this out of MMA if you want it to go mainstream.

And yes, Goldberg goes without saying...But at least hes funny in a pathetic way.

[scurlaruntings]

And yes, Goldberg goes without saying...But at least hes funny in a pathetic way.Goldberg isnt funny. He's just an idiot. Guy should have stayed in the WWE. And Rogan isnt everyones cup of tea. His fanboyism just seems to get the better of him and he just runs with it. Most of what he says is alcohol induced crap. Id much rather listen to veterans like Bas and Mauro Ranallo. Dam i miss PRIDE...

[Irishbc]

Goldberg isnt funny. He's just an idiot. Guy should have stayed in the WWE.

he is funny, cus he knows os little "he pops that jab out there,1-1-2, the jab keeps his opponent at bay and BOOM comes with the right"

I know the guys an idiot, thats whats so funny.

Not to mention, "You know Roy Jones Junior respects the hands of Forrest Griffin..."

LOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL

No need to hold back, tell us how you really feel.

[Irishbc]

No need to hold back, tell us how you really feel.

well rogan always gets proprs for "telling it like he sees" when he clearly doesnt(and if he does see it the way he states sometimes then hes a bigger idiot than i thought)

so why shouldnt i?

[Grievesy]

Meh. Both of them are pretty shit, though I don't mind Joe.

No one beats Bas Rutten and 'The Fight Professor' Stephen Quadros from Pride.

I will admit there is even worse out there, but Rogan is the guy that sways the casual fans opinion because he comes on as such an authority,and he works as the UFCs colour man, yet he is so clueless at times and SO partial to certain fighters its a joke.

He does know MMA to a degree. But he's way too much of a fan boy and his enthusiams gets the better of him. The result is stupid comparisons between Morales Barerra and Bonnar Griffin. Or Rogan drooling over how athletic Josh Koscheck is. Its just nonsense. I hate the whole UFC format and to be honest it hardly even interests me anymore.

Exactly, I was looking at a thread earlier on a different MMA forum called

"2009 is the year boxing dies"

and the amount of people who think boxing is dead and MMA is taking over is sickening, is the opposite, the show is now so un-professional its hard to take at times, I actually stopped watching after the Hamill-Bisping joke...That was the nail in the coffin for me, Rogan says to Gonos face(who doesnt speak english well obviously) didnt deserve to win the fight, yet not a fucking word about how Hamill was robbed.

and lets not forget how awful the fight between Hamill and Nickells looked on TUF... Eric Crumble would knock those guys out based on that performance, yet he went on to completely outbox Bispingand manhandle him and get robbed.

Joke

JokeBoxing is my first love. Its not going anywhere. Only idiots pay attention to the drivel that Dana spews along with the stupid kudos he trys to glean from MMA whilst trying to use boxing as some form of leverage. The guy was a failed boxing promoter who had rich benefactors. He's not interested in MMA. He's only interested in the UFC and what profit they make. As for Hamil the guys a decent fighter and he was in my opinion robbed versus Bisping. But those types of fights dont interest me. Bisping is a uncouth clown and Hamil isnt up there with the best light heavies in the world.

[AffectedToaster]

"rogan is a twat".......I Agree

[québecwarrior]

I like Rogan. Ok he cant talk about BJ without saying how he put his leg behing his neck without using his hands but oh well, he knows his stuff and he seems high every fuckin time he is on lol.
Bas on the other hand, know his stuff as well but isnt on other fighter's nut which is pretty cool.

I hate Goldie though.

[sugarngold]

Screw you guys. Rogan FTW!

Damn right :hat

[Spunik]

I think Rogan brings a lot of enthusiasm to the job. He can get a little cloying, but overall he's decent. He sometimes looks like he's been doing coke for about 2 weeks straight though. :-(

The UFC's demographic is white trash and frat boys. Its not the same audience as HBO boxing or even a Pride event.

Hence the popularity of Chuck Liddell and Brock Lesnar....

You know you're white trash if you are a fan of Kid Rock....

[Dave_j1985]

I like Rogan, who says you always have to agree with the commentator anyway?

[SouthpawSlayer]

rogan is a fucking tosser, he needs to stop sucking on every ufc fighters cock that enters the octagon, its cringing to listen to everytime he picks out their main strenght and says how they are the best in the world at what they do, he is a joke and a dick

What do you mean by that? Often I hear that comment that UFC is for redneck and bla bla bla, but I don't understand it?
In canada, especially in quebec, are we redneck too because we watch UFC? Were the 21 000 thousand at the bell enter cheering for Liddell white trash?

Don't be a player hater, fellas. Be a player congratulator. There isn't a single member of this board that wouldn't take Rogan's place if given the chance and we would be just as disliked by the rest of us just for being there.

[radab]

Got to agree with some of the things Ajax has been saying. Some twat tried to turn the hate for Rogan thread into a race issue and dissed the white fans. Scular you just jumped in there and backed him up. Thought that was pretty distasteful.

[AJAX]

:roll: Ah yes of course the WHITE middle class! Take it your still on that payroll...

Do you know what a white middle class is? I went to UFC 82 in columbus and my floor seats were 400$ how much white trash do you think was there? it was a great crowd.

[QuestionKid7]

To be fair rogan is good to listen to when the fight is on the ground. When I first started watching it was good how he explained what was goin on and how a submission would be finished.

[Nuke]

Unfortunately we are stuck with Goldie and Rogain. Bas, Marullio or Quadros are never gonna be there so we must deal the best way we can................ by pushing the mute button.

[rusty nails]

rogans f**ing entertaining imo. hes just doing what hes paid to do and thats hype the sport. i love his enthusiasm.

Don't be such a pansy quebecwarrior, the UFC and MMA in general* is a redneck thing, stop blubbering.

Most middle class folks don't watch mma.their into their white collar career

AJAX doesnt know that. I mean the $400 dollar seats were full up after all. So that surely is defintive proof that the white middle class really care about the UFC.

[Dantes]

Rogan's alright. Bas is great though.

Wow, i'm posting a legit fuckin question and you answer me like that? are you a moron?
Or is it me the moron for not knowing what exactly a white trash is?
we don't have such term in quebec, so now can you answer me, or you are gonna tell me don't be a pansy?

I woulld like to know what you consider the white middle class?

I'm just a lowly union plumber/pipefitter and thought I was in the middle class, I didn't realize that I had to wear a suit and br in the corparate world to make the middle class.

I guess i am just a redneck according to you 2 blokes.

You're working class.

[sugarngold]

Hey fellas - let's give peace a chance and drop this discussion. Regardless of race or class here - we all enjoy the fighting arts and enjoy heated battles as well as displays of studied technique.

[Ishrol666]

Rogan is a salesman, he is not gonna stand there and not be enthusiastic about the product he is selling. Whether he believes the things he says or not is irrelevant, he has to build the UFC and its fighters up, or he will be made redundant like me :-)

[radab]

Disagree with the guys on here who diss Rogan. I think he's a fantastic commentator. Also got a lot of respect for the guy as a person - he really works on bettering himself, and he always tells it like it is.

I remember some guy asking his thoughts on Fedor, and his thoughts on Dana's thoughts on Fedor. He basically said Fedor was incredible, and Dana was only saying what he was saying because he's a Businessman.

Joe Rogan's sound as fuck

[thebrodstar]

You're working class.

That sound incorrect. I am a communications lineman who's paycheck is comparable to a plumber/pipefitter and I made $72 000 last year...... that firmly puts me right in the middle class.

That's almost exactly what I made plus I live in an area of very affordable housing but the experts around here have me in a lower class because I watch MMA.

Well I guess I am glad we got that figured out, you and I are lower class.

So do the experts around here have a quick fix for 3rd world hunger? Because thats a bit of a hot button everywhere else. I will be honest I am stumped but us lower class folk aren't that bright.

[chimba]

I generally complain about the quality of fighting, Rogan who the fuck cares?? I watched pride or Bushido in Japanese and it was entertaining. By the way, I hope Dana doesnt sign Maynard

[doomeddisciple]

I don't know why Joe is getting called out - That other guy is just retarded, at least Joe has some knowledge.

He isn't the most pro, he needs to have someone explain to him that a microphone amplifies the voice so you don't HAVE to yell all the time - But he is excellent at calling the ground stuff.

I think they should rotate a few UFC stars or ex stars who can talk a bit to give a more rounded explanation.

Yeah it was pretty good when they had Rashad commentating with them. It was a little biased I think because he is Jardine's training partner but the thought was there.

His timing is sometimes way off though. I remember the GSP/Penn fight..When Penn went onto the rubber guard, Rogan almost had an orgasm "Here BJ mission control":lol:

He is top of the food chain jj...:good

joe rogan gold at the US open?

what fucking year? lol this must be utter bullshit, I'm looking it up.

edit: okay, I knew this was bullshit. let me explain to non-tkd practitioners that the 'US open' tournament is hosted and sanctioned by the USAT (formerly the USTU) which is the IOC and USOC (international/us olympic comittie) recognized governing body of taekwondo in the US (think usaboxing). This tournament draws international level fighters and even some national team members.

"On the issue of Joe Rogan's competitive background as four time Massachusetts State Champion in TKD, and US Open TKD champion, Grand Master Jae H. Kim, Head instructor of TKD Boston, and Joe Rogan's instructor, elaborates more specifically on his TKD competitive career in this email (Richard Smith is also an instructor at TKD Boston):

"Joe Rogan was a Light Weight and Richard Smith was a Heavy Weight. The competition in 1987 was not US Open but American Open Tae Kwon Do Championship. The final match was between Joe Rogan (Light Weight Champion) and somebody from New York (Heavy Weight Champion). Joe won with a roundhouse kick to the other fellow's mid section. Joe was a good student at our school." Jae H. Kim"

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

the tournament he went to is a cluster-fuck of a bunch of wacky martial arts fighting in some kind of freestyle stuff using outdated rules, techniques, and formatting. It sounds like point-style to me (fight is stopped after every point, an arcaic version of taekwondo that was outdated back in the 70's, hardly full-contact). I can gaurentee that he was never anyone in taekwondo, never national team member, probably never even state-level fighter.

Also, if the tournament was in 1987 (he was born 1967) he was 20 years old.

tl;dr? joe rogan is NOT a taekwondo fighter of any substance.

no kidding he thinks taekwondo is shit, he never did anything close to olympic circut competitions anyway.
