Eh, I woudn't take anything he says too seriously. It's just Joe Rogan being Joe Rogan. I really don't get why people like him. He's loud, obnoxious and a terrible commentator. I'll disagree with the last part. Bas Ruten on the other hand, THAT'S a terrible commentator. Rogan is awesome, he has a legit background on bjj knows the moves of the holds, also is a student of the game in both boxing and kickboxing. I disagree with some of his views though. Bas, idk he's just too loud for my tastes, Mauro Ranallo carried him in PRIDE.
Mauro is a huge fan of pro wrestling, back when he announced for Strike Force he name dropped the von Erich family and the iron sheik.

Bas tries too hard to be funny, and it just comes off as corny a lot of the time. Volume is an issue with him as well. It sucks because Bas IS extremely knowledgeable. I wasn't a big fan of Mauro's work as an MMA commentator but he's doing FANTASTIC work with Showtime right now on their boxing coverage.

I mean he obviously knows what he's talking about, it's just he comes off way obnoxious for me to like. I'll take KenFlo or Stann anyday of week over Joe. Different strokes I guess. Also, for whatever reason I just can't hate Bas, I'm a big mark for the guy

Yeah Bas almost ruined for me the experience of playing PRIDE mode on Undisputed 3, I just muted him lol. I like Mauro's enthusiasm when he called the mayweather fight, the other guys just sounded like if they were bored.
Another duo that I need to hear, are Chael and JR, they just called a one night tournament, I need to hear clips of that glorious team. They should replace the guys at RAW.

Checked out the Chael-JR card a few days ago. Sonnen for the most part was really good, though sometimes he would kind of switch back and forth from commentating like he was talking to a more 'knowledgeable' fan base and then in another breath talking like he was having to explain everything to a more casual viewer. I'd chalk that up more to the fact that it's Chael trying to 'find his voice', so to speak on commentary than anything particularly bad. JR, a lot of the time, felt a step or two behind. It was something I noticed when he did that boxing card for FS1 a while back as well. I'm not sure if it's the 'new-ness' to the sport, or, as I thought during his last few years in WWE, Father time has well and truly caught up with him.(Although JR earns points for referring to Brock Larson as BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCK LARSON)

If he needs to do stuff like this to gain attention for his podcast, it's probably not worth listening to He's got one of the most downloaded podcasts on ITunes...He doesn't need to do stuff like this to gain attention for it.
