Joe Rogan says some obnoxiously dumb things at times, like the classic "he's hurt!!" false alarm, or the "his leg is destroyed," after 3 leg kicks. The problem is, his reactions and enthusiasm are iconic. Joe's reaction added to the moment Max Holloway dropped Justin Gaetjhe and without him, it's not quite the same level. In my opinion, Joe with Anik creates the best reactions to finishing sequences.
I like the commentary with Rogan and DC but I didn't really disagree with anything said here. I usually watch the PPV's with buddies though so I admittedly don't hear all of it. But i dig hearing those dudes have fun and cracking jokes. Bisping and Sanko are the best though, glad you gave them a shout-out
What if?/My Hot Take Jorge Masvidal doesn’t land the flying knee on Ben Askren. How’d you think that fight would play out instead? Personally I think Masvidal would have got smothered and out wrestled on the ground. But at the end of the day I’m glad it went the way it did, I was rooting for Masvidal and it will go down as 1 of the most iconic moments in UFC history.
A lot of sports commentators have the same problem. They come to the game/fight with a pre-prepared narrative outlined in their mind based on how they anticipate events will play out. If it doesn't go the way they expected they tend to stay with the same script regardless.
We need to allow knees to grounded opponents, or rather just kicks in general. Soccer kicks, up-kicks, etc. It’s so wrestler centric and is completely unfair to the striker. It gives free leeway for any wrestler to stink up a fight by spamming take down attempts. The grounded knee would deter lame combat and force grapplers to be more well-rounded and smart. Evloev, Aljomain, Islam, Arman, etc. They will be forced to adapt.
🙌I have always felt dissapointed by the UFC since I started watching around 2012. They have forgiven and allowed very stupid behaviours from people like Connor McGregor or Jon Jones and yet Dana almost got angrier, in comparison, at Dan Hardy for complaining about a very late stoppage. Also, I dont think they have been fair to people like Demetrious Johnson and they laughed at the idea of female divisions in the UFC for years.
Don’t think its fair to hold the female divisions thing against them. WMMA has been a part of the ufc for years now, and the title fights are always put as main and co main events despite the lower hype from the fans. And its not like the top ranked women are getting paid less either.
I’ve watched pretty much every card in the last few years and I personally still enjoy the rogan dc annik crew more than any other. They’ve seen so many fights and they’re so enthusiastic. Even if other could be more professional or accurate it wouldn’t be the same without atleast rogan
Sanko is brilliant and noticeably puts in the work. Cruz is a good talker, but is VERY inconsistent on commentary imo. He sometimes breaks things down better than anyone, but then he’ll sound like he’s not even watching the fight.😂
You’re 100% right there are too many fighters. If those fighters were making names for themselves in other promotions it’s better for them and the sport. Instead UFC hordes the talent and wastes them
Here's a hot take a lot of people talk about how it's a such a shame that Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov never got to fight even though it was booked so many times, But I don't think it would have been much of a fight I truly believe prime Khabib Nurmagomedov would have destroyed prime Tony Ferguson if they had actually fought
I agree with Joe being outdated, but I will take no Paul Felder slander. He is great! Don’t know what anyone can’t like about him. Sanko is great, Bisping is great and DC is just ok. I feel like DC becomes the most biased for sure. But I also feel like the UFC does a good amount to grow the sport. Multiple PI’s with plans for many more, Contender Series, Road to the UFC, Lookin’ for a Fight. I’m not sure what more they could do to serve the less veteran athletes than giving them a platform that tests their skills before the UFC.
Felder has definitely improved since he first started commentating! I think for me it's just lingering memories of the learning curve and in a few years he'll crack my top 3 haha
I agree sometimes about the commentators being somewhat biased but thats because they watch that fighter for years and know what the are capable of and don’t want to count anyone out they have to keep the audience interested Joe,DC, Jon is the best panel it’s Hall of fame worthy. Dc is former 2 division champ and hell of wrestler, Joe probably has seen more fights in person than any other living being, and Jon is the best at what he does.
I think one of the UFC’s worst moments was how they handled the Khabib Connor fight. The crap Joe and the commentators gave Khabib, going on about how he was unprompted, meanwhile they’re refusing to address the fact that Connor assaulted his bus! He went to court and the UFC refuses to address it. He makes money, I feel like everyone gets it. But Connor is bad for the sport, his fans are worse for the sport, and Dana is just enabling it. On Monday i somebody commented that GSP wasn’t a top five fighter because he fought “bums” but Connor is! It’s absolutely ridiculous, the history and the art of the sport is being destroyed by a dude who’s leg was broken on national television
What if max Holloway goes on a run of defeating ilia for the 145 belt, defending the BMF against porier, and then Connor in any scenario. Is this plausible what levels could he reach
My hot take, The UFC wants to be FIFA not a promotor. They want to control the feeder leagues and the big shows. Ultimatly its leading to a corporatised product not a grass roots lead sport.
Bo nickal is overrated. He struggled against a random no name after being hyped up to be this great college prodegy of wrestling but took 2 rounds to win. I find it absurd that people say he is champion material
@@asmrcarineso true. Guys gets up basically booing himself then he gives the most boring interview ever. The ufc can push this guy as much as they want, I couldn’t care less about him as of now
Like when they were bragging about Dana being there for the prelims on Saturday! If the president can't be bothered to watch every fight, maybe that's a sign the roster is too deep haha
Your commentary team is great but I can’t imagine a PPV without Jon anik. Try listening to the ufc on espn theme or the tale of the tape without hearing his voice in your head. It’s not possible! And also, while I agree the double champ talk is annoying, I don’t think it’s holding up divisions just yet. Only volk has gone up in recent times and if O’malley knocks out merab he probably deserves it next. Leon or DDP is ridiculous right now tho for sure.
i dont like joe rohan commentating at all his voice is annoying as hell paul felder is way better or bisping especially for big events...idk its just a turn off for me lol
You talk about commentators going off on tangents and then you say you want bisping and dc on the commentary and those 2 are some of the worst yappers on commentary
Joe’s bias: Calf kicks
DC’s bias: Dagestanis
I wouldn’t mind Volk on commentary ngl 😂

I know absolutely nothing about the UFC, but Carine is gonna teach me everything about this sport that I need to know 🤣🤣🤣
An honour and a privilege 😂
The month of June for UFC is insane..Conor, Dustin, Islam, Khamzat, Whittaker, Chandler, Strickland, costa…insane
Hopefully these huge fights aren't too one-sided!
I like the commentary with Rogan and DC but I didn't really disagree with anything said here. I usually watch the PPV's with buddies though so I admittedly don't hear all of it. But i dig hearing those dudes have fun and cracking jokes.
Bisping and Sanko are the best though, glad you gave them a shout-out
Ya but sanko is rough to listen to when her voice gets high on a high energy moment
no Anik on the dream team is criminal😂 you were not lying when you called these hot takes!
I'm necessary evil 🤷♀️
so excited for episode 2 of UFC 5 keep up the great work!
What if michael chandler fought smartly and used his wrestling more instead of fighting only to entertain?
What if?/My Hot Take
Jorge Masvidal doesn’t land the flying knee on Ben Askren. How’d you think that fight would play out instead?
Personally I think Masvidal would have got smothered and out wrestled on the ground.
But at the end of the day I’m glad it went the way it did, I was rooting for Masvidal and it will go down as 1 of the most iconic moments in UFC history.
My favorite commentators are Michael Bisping, Paul Felder, and Jon Anik. Rogan just for the nostalgia I miss Goldberg 😂

That is a HOT take!
@@asmrcarine I recommend watching MMA guru's on the topic. He articulates the argument a lot better than I did here.
@@Auvisome Can't wait to include this in a video :)

Writing this down for the next video 😊 Definitely a love-hate relationship with the UFC!

we love the ufc vids😌
Sometimes DC and Joe act like they’re just bros hanging out and watching the fights lol I kind of like it
When the banter is good, it's GOOD!
I’ve watched pretty much every card in the last few years and I personally still enjoy the rogan dc annik crew more than any other. They’ve seen so many fights and they’re so enthusiastic. Even if other could be more professional or accurate it wouldn’t be the same without atleast rogan
True
Hot take Alex pereira’s legacy is already better than khabib with his padded record
Laura Sanko may be the best analytical commentator along with Dominic Cruz.
Sanko is brilliant and noticeably puts in the work. Cruz is a good talker, but is VERY inconsistent on commentary imo. He sometimes breaks things down better than anyone, but then he’ll sound like he’s not even watching the fight.😂
You’re 100% right there are too many fighters. If those fighters were making names for themselves in other promotions it’s better for them and the sport. Instead UFC hordes the talent and wastes them
what if nick diaz didn’t get suspended
Talk about putting on a clinic. That overhand at the final second. My jaw was on the floor, as was Gaethje 💀
Hahaha brilliant! Definitely the highlight of the year so far!
I’ve been watching ufc since I was a kid, and that is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
I’ll also mention local broadcasts in almost every sport show a level of bias and I guess I’ve grown used to it. But your points are hard to dispute
Absolutely! I makes more sense to me coming from a local broadcast than a national/international one
Here's a hot take a lot of people talk about how it's a such a shame that Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov never got to fight even though it was booked so many times, But I don't think it would have been much of a fight I truly believe prime Khabib Nurmagomedov would have destroyed prime Tony Ferguson if they had actually fought
You have to get back to your 300ufc predictions😂
😂 at least I did better than last time! Especially proud of the Max pick haha
@@asmrcarine very true, most of us got proved wrong🫣
we need a video with all the patriots scandals throughout the years
That could be an entire playlist!
No we don’t -from a loyal patriot fan pls I’ve had enough

Get Laura Sanko back on the table ASAP
That's all I'm saying!
Tbh I was kinda hoping they would’ve got Goldberg back on the table just for 300
What if prime Vladimir Putin and Theadore Roosevelt fought in the octagon💪
😭😭😭
You had a great fight with Andrade, just came up short haha 😂
Was not ready for that sneaky power 😂
Was rooting for you for ufc 300 Jessica is a tough fighter
Those damn calf kicks 🥲
My hot take, The UFC wants to be FIFA not a promotor. They want to control the feeder leagues and the big shows. Ultimatly its leading to a corporatised product not a grass roots lead sport.
Interesting take!
Dana begged Joe to do commentary, he didn’t want to do it at first….
The Mac is Back! Chandler is worse than Gaethje when it comes to rushing in and Conor is a sniper
I kind of like the fact the commentary isn’t always the most professional it feels like friends hanging out
Totally! Might even be preferable for longtime fans who don’t need the play-by-play :)
Bo nickal is overrated. He struggled against a random no name after being hyped up to be this great college prodegy of wrestling but took 2 rounds to win. I find it absurd that people say he is champion material
Looking forward to addressing this! I think most people (outside the company men) agree at this point 😅
Why is Marina Rodriguez on here talking? Also did anyone notice Carine was fighting Jessica Andrade at UFC 300? Oh wait..
We Parent Trapped y'all
DC's bias towards wrestlers, especially fellow aka guys and Dagestanis, is out of control
what if Chael Sonnen never had to endure the hardships of West Linn, Oregon, would he be the same fighter?🤔
Chester Sonnen of Palo Alto, California could never.
Can we get a UFC 300 review??
We need a story on the Arizona Coyotes moving to Utah 😅
Definitely! I'm sort of waiting to see if there are any more developments coming in the next few weeks 😅
Volk beat Islam their first fight and would’ve beat him again if he didn’t fight on like 8 days notice and had a full preparation.
Great event but still in absolute shock they made us watch bo nickal on the main card
And then the octagon interview made it all even worse!
@@asmrcarineso true. Guys gets up basically booing himself then he gives the most boring interview ever. The ufc can push this guy as much as they want, I couldn’t care less about him as of now
I really dislike joes commentary recently. I feel like the only thing he talks about is calf kicks and shouts “OHHHHHHH” any time something happens
"It's over!" when it is not, in fact, over.
@@asmrcarine lmao
Who are you lil bro Joe rogans 10 times the man you'll ever be kid
@@owenhummel2137 stop defending him he’s not gonna marry you, I’ve probably been watching mma longer than you’ve been alive
My hot take is chandler mauls Connor in their upcoming fight and people who believe Connor stands a chance are delusional (my fact)
MCREGOR IS BACK LETS GOOO 🫡
Lovely
I think Islam is poindnfor pound best then Volk then jones then khabib
DC does the absolute bare minimum research on fighters and it really irritates me
Like when they were bragging about Dana being there for the prelims on Saturday! If the president can't be bothered to watch every fight, maybe that's a sign the roster is too deep haha
I really liked showtimes commentators before the stoped boxing(I’m still mad at that lol). They should bring some of them over like Mauro ranallo etc
Your commentary team is great but I can’t imagine a PPV without Jon anik. Try listening to the ufc on espn theme or the tale of the tape without hearing his voice in your head. It’s not possible!
And also, while I agree the double champ talk is annoying, I don’t think it’s holding up divisions just yet. Only volk has gone up in recent times and if O’malley knocks out merab he probably deserves it next. Leon or DDP is ridiculous right now tho for sure.
Oh his voice is definitely iconic!
And you’re right! It’s a lot of talk about double champ but hasn’t actually been attempted much yet.
You hit the asmr jackpot, with sports you will never run out of ideas. All these role plays are over done... And I'll go gay for GSP
Chama 🗿👍
i dont like joe rohan commentating at all his voice is annoying as hell paul felder is way better or bisping especially for big events...idk its just a turn off for me lol
Mehhh DC and Bisping always bicker I don’t like when they’re together
You talk about commentators going off on tangents and then you say you want bisping and dc on the commentary and those 2 are some of the worst yappers on commentary
That is true! DC is one of the biggest culprits.
