Joe Rogan and the UFC

[Jimi]

You want his job, do better and go and get it and quit bitching about it. Everyone will say something off in the moment at one point or another. Keep reading and you will see.

It's one thing to say something off in the moment, and it's another to consistently keep doing it. That said, I don't hate the guy, it's just an annoying (to me) trait he has. The Pride announcers don't do that, the KotC guys don't either etc. I prefer the guys who call the fight.

I thought his stand up comedy stuff was funny. I think that his announcing would be more entertaining if, every time he says "kimura", someone would slap the doo-waa out of him. I'd pay per view to see that!

I am not a particular fan, I think he should stick to fear factor.

Point taken, others just don't draw the demographic the PPV people want.

Ha Ha, Well said.

Rumor has it that he's lining up a fight with Wesley Snipes. Take that with a few grains of salt, as it is just something I've heard kicked around the MMA boards. I have absolutely no info., otherwise.

He's lining up a fight he knows he can win. Or he knows that Snipes has better things to do and won't accept.

Somehow I doubt Rogan's a big demographic draw.

 

[Shogun]

doesn't change the fact that he sucks as an announcer.

If you mean how he says "Bajillion" Jiu jitsu all the freakin time....I agree. He occasionally does screw up his words. But he does know the action, personally knows MANY of the fighters and what they are capable of (goes hunting with randy couture, has trained with liddell, etc) so I think he does some good work. plus, he has a ton of energy when commentating and that is much better than steven quadros gives.

and that Mauro renallo....he doesn't know whats going on half the time.

I personally like Joe's commentary, not the best maybe, but I enjoy it. Sometimes it provides comic relief...

When is the UFC gonna dump this clown?

Joes all right and he does take his martial arts pretty serious BUT I would trade him in a hearbeat for Keri Kasum.
