Joe rogan dominick cruz8/14/2023 It certainly didn’t help that in such a close fight, one judge scored the bout four rounds to one for Jones. Though Jon Jones ultimately walked away with a unanimous decision win over Dominick Reyes, the general feeling among fans and media seemed to be that Reyes had done enough to claim the title. Of the 12 fights on the evening, four went to split decisions, with two of them being the variety that fans will justifiably scream robbery over. I just like doing a lot of other shit, too.On Saturday night, UFC 247 took place in Houston, TX, and though both Valentina Shevchenko and Jon Jones retained their titles, the biggest talking point coming out of the event was the horrible judging that plagued the card. I love it, it's not that I don't love it. I'm not a big fan of doing the same shit over and over again. I like taking chances and I like walking away from things. As transcribed by Fight State from an episode of his world-renowned podcast, Rogan is still in two minds as to whether he will sign on the dotted line for another stint with UFC. Rogan is one of the most popular figures involved with the UFC and he revealed in December that his contract with the promotion is coming to an end. If the fans want to go back and judge the fight for themselves, put the TV on mute, if you can." "He (Rogan) must've been judging it on the person who he liked better because obviously, as far as the commentary was concerned, everybody liked Gray. "I got more landed strikes in that fight, and I threw more. "If anybody sees Gray Maynard, tell him to show his face today and see how it looks," Diaz said. To make it even worse, Rogan came on and said (the decision) was a complete robbery."īack in January 2010, Nate Diaz posted a video to voice his concern about how he felt Rogan "must've been judging it on the person who he liked better" after the Stockton native lost a close split decision to Gray Maynard. "Particularly when there's someone talking about every bad thing I do and every good thing my opponent does, it's going to change peoples' perception. ![]() I was taking down my opponent who was doing nothing, and (Rogan) was talking about how tired I was. "The thing that was most insulting was by the last minute of the last round, Joe Rogan was talking about how bad my cardio was and how exhausted I was, as I was taking down my opponent. "I felt hard done by because for the 15 minutes of the fight, my technique and style were critiqued while my opponent was spoken highly of." "I stayed on in America for a further 10 days after the fight, and it wasn't until I went home that I actually got to watch the fight and the commentary," said Pendred. It isn't the first time that the beloved commentator has been called into question by a professional fighter.Īfter Cathal Pendred won a close split decision over Sean Spencer last January in Boston, the Irishman told how he believed Rogan's commentary "changed peoples' perception" of how the fight went. So I know Joe has no problem with TJ, he respects TJ and he likes his style, so I think Joe was just doing his job." I've never been on his podcast, those guys have been on his podcast millions of times. I've been out with Joe a couple of times. He continued: "I don't think Joe took a side at all. ![]() You've got to think that both me and TJ are working off our instincts in there a lot because we're moving so quickly, switching so many stances–it's hard to make a lot of reads. "I guarantee you Joe didn't see everything that TJ was reading and Joe didn't see everything I was reading. I've had fights where I haven't had the better end of the commentary definitely, but you've got to understand to that Joe doesn't necessarily have the most understanding of the striking realm, and that fight was a very high-level striking match. "You can't worry about what Joe is saying, you just got to go out there and do what you do. There were times where he took TJ's side a lot, and besides that, judges don't hear Joe Rogan. "Joe just says what he's going to say, but there was no bias whatsoever. "It's funny that he of all people said that," Cruz told Helwani. ![]() Ariel Helwani asked the newly crowned champion to react to Dillashaw's thoughts. By chance, Cruz happened to be making an appearance on The MMA Hour shortly after Dillashaw had published the post.
