Some comments made by UFC commentator Joe Rogan have not been received kindly by former UFC champion Jan Blachowicz.

The Polish-born Jan Blachowicz battled Dagestan’s Magomed Ankalaev for the vacant UFC light heavyweight world title at UFC 282 which ended in a draw. From the post-fight interview, Blachowicz is not impressed with how Joe Rogan handled things.

In the post-fight interview, Joe Rogan said:

“You went to raise Ankalaev’s hand after the fight. Is that because you believe that he should have won the decision? … To me that felt like you felt that you had lost the decision.”

Jan Blachowicz unhappy with Joe Rogan’s comments

Upon reflection after this December bout, Blachowicz is not happy. In an interview with MMA Fighting, the Polish athlete said:

“Joe Rogan, when he stepped into the octagon, he said for him I lost the fight. That was what I was thinking. He did a mistake that he say something like this to me after the fight. Because everybody who thinks that I lost the fight, watch only the last round. For me, a draw is a fair decision and seriously, I think that I was closer to winning the fight than Ankalaev. One more kick and it would be over, a TKO or if I would have defended his takedowns in the [fifth] round, stay a little bit longer on the feet, the fight would be mine … I watched the fight a couple of times, a draw for me is fair.”

Jan continued:

“Joe Rogan, he shouldn’t say something like this to me after the fight. I was stuck in the last round and then Joe Rogan says ‘that was a good fight but for me you lost the fight.’ After the fight, when I go to the locker room and I start talking with a lot of people backstage from different teams, they said ‘don’t say that you lost the fight, you didn’t lose this fight, a round is OK but maybe you won the fight. So don’t say it.’” [Transcript courtesy of MMA Fighting]

Jan Blachowicz is also not impressed with the excuses from Magomed Ankalaev after their draw bout. He added:

“Excuses. I hate when someone say it like this. It pisses me off when someone uses excuses. I never say that my camp was bad, I have injuries or something like this … I almost won the fight. Now he’s looking at excuses, why he was not so good in the fight. Why? Because I was very good in this fight. Because I don’t let him do what he always does in the fight. That was the reason. Now he says ‘I was injured, my camp was bad.’ Bulls***. I don’t believe in that. This is weakness.“

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz isn’t happy with how commentator Joe Rogan handled the UFC 282 aftermath. Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev fought to a split draw earlier this month for the vacant UFC light heavyweight title. Many felt Ankalaev did enough to win on the judges’ scorecards, although one of Blachowicz’s colleagues felt…

Joe Rogan emotionally recounts Eddie Bravo’s win over Royler Gracie: “One of the greatest experiences of my life.”

Joe Rogan was brought to tears when he recently spoke on his podcast about when his dear friend Eddie Bravo pulled off one of the biggest Jiu-Jitsu upsets of all time against Royler Gracie.

In the early 2000s, there were few names that were more notable in combat sports than the Gracie family. On Joe Rogan’s world-famous podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, he turned back the clock and got very emotional when recounting Bravo’s stunning victory.

The legendary Jiu-Jitsu match took place at the Abu Dhabi World Championships in 2003 in Gracie’s home country of Brazil, where Rogan was there to support his friend and at the time, rising Jiu-Jitsu player Eddie Bravo. Discussing the magnitude and context of this match, Rogan stated:

“He had this big match with Royler and they shut off all the other matches and put all the cameras on this one thing. (Eddie) was such an underdog… He wasn’t even a black belt yet; Eddie was a brown belt. Royler, who was Royce’s brother, was more successful even than Royce in Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. He’s like one of the greatest Gracie’s of all time in terms of his accomplishments in winning world Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. He was the man.”

Joe Rogan On the Insane Submission

Eddie Bravo went on to submit Royler Gracie with a Triangle, and Rogan gives his detailed account of this spectacular moment:

“He (Royler) was in Eddie’s guard, and he just slapped that triangle on him, then started pulling the head and then Royler tapped. It was insane, I was crying. I’ll cry right now… It’s one of the greatest experiences of my life.”

It is clear by the effect that it had on him that Rogan was living vicariously through Eddie Bravo. Just speaking about his friend’s triumph, even 19 years later, brought Rogan to tears and stirred up a powerful emotional response.

Today, Eddie Bravo continues his dedication to his craft at his well-known school, 10^th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, which boasts a non-traditional system of teaching the sport. Even all these years later, Bravo’s victory over Royler Gracie goes down as legendary and was the catalyst for Eddie to start 10^th Planet.

**Joe Rogan shares heartfelt tribute to TUF 1 finalist, Stephan Bonnar**

With tributes piling in amid the Indiana native’s sudden passing, Rogan described the UFC Hall of Fame inductee as a “real legend”.

“We lost a real legend,” Joe Rogan posted on his official Instagram account, accompanied by a picture of Stephan Bonnar at The Ultimate Fighter 1 finale back in 2005. “RIP to one of the most important figures in the explosion of MMA. Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin engaged in a battle on Spike TV in 2005 that was so wild, and so entertaining that it changed the course of the UFC and the sport of Mixed Martial Arts forever. You will not be forgotten.”

Rogan’s play-by-play commentary counterpart, Jon Anik also paid tribute to the late, Bonnar, recounting how he had attended his and his wife’s wedding ceremony just days removed from a fight.

“Just absolutely crushed to hear about the passing of our friend and UFC legend Stephan Bonnar,” Jon Anik posted on Instagram. “His MMA legacy lives on, to be sure, as does his incredible call of fellow Midwesterner Anthony @showtimepettis’ off-the-cage kick. Brilliant reaction in real time by Stephan and I’m glad he had that moment as a broadcaster. You could always count on his energy.”

“I got to know Stephan during our time working on ESPN’s ‘MMA Live’ from 2008-2001. We were particularly close at the time of my wedding and just two weeks after his win at UFC 116, he fellow across the country from Las Vegas to Boston to be there with us in person. He has the black eye in this picture to prove it. That of course didn’t stop him from running at max incline on the treadmill next to me on the morning of my wedding… Love you, buddy. Rest in peace. Thanks for always making me feel like a million bucks.”

During is professional career, Bonnar posted a 15-9 professional record, securing victories over the likes of Brian Ebersole, Terry Martin, James Irvine, Keith Jardine, and Kyle Kingsbury.

Joe Rogan heaps praise on ‘Extraordinary human being’ Conor McGregor amid recent war of words

UFC color-commentator, Joe Rogan has showered praise on former two-weight promotional champion, Conor McGregor – labelling the Dubliner an “extraordinary human being” whilst reflecting on the latter’s stunning 13-second knockout win over Jose Aldo back in 2015. McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined since […]

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined since July of last year, suffering a fractured left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss against Dustin Poirier.

In the time since, McGregor, who has not been subject to anti-doping testing by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) since the third quarter of last year, has been the subject of speculation regarding his speculated use of performance-enhancing drugs during his time away from the Octagon.

Amongst speculators; light heavyweight contender, Anthony Smith, and the aforenoted, Rogan – who joked that a urine sample provided to USADA by Conor McGregor would likely melt through the collecting apparatus.

Taking umbrage with Rogan’s comments, McGregor unleashed a tirade aimed at the comic and podcast host in response.

Joe Rogan heaps plaudits on UFC star, Conor McGregor

However, discussing McGregor’s knockout win over the above-mentioned Brazilian icon, Aldo on the victory’s seventh year anniversary, Rogan described the 34-year-old as an “extraordinary human being”.

“To be a person that can do that under that kind of pressure, that’s an extraordinary human being,” Joe Rogan said on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. “There’s very, very, very few of them that have ever walked the face of the earth that can do that in front of that many people and in that moment which is built up over months and months and months. Really years of taunting him (Jose Aldo), but months and months and months.”

“And to get to that one moment where you look at each other in the Octagon and he (Conor McGregor) looks at him and he goes, ‘Let’s go, boy. Let’s go, boy.’ And you see Aldo’s like, ‘Holy sh**t, this is really happening.’ But Conor couldn’t be more relaxed. That’s mind management. That’s confidence, preparation, intelligence – emotional intelligence. There’s so many factors.”

People don’t really understand what it is because they look at it from the outside,” Joe Rogan said. “‘It’s violence, it’s horrible.’ It’s a high-level problem-solving with dire physical consequences and it’s the craziest game you can play.” (Transcribed by Middleeasy)
