Rogan had to educate Cormier during UFC 319 fight

Rogan has always been widely regarded as an MMA expert as when he was first brought into the promotion as a color commentator, he added a lot of educational value to the broadcast.

Despite that, fans believe that over the last few years, the UFC icon has provided less value to the commentary.

However, in a recent podcast, Rogan revealed that he had to educate the former UFC double champion, Cormier, during the recent UFC 319 broadcast.

“I don’t know s— about judo, I know how to do a few hip tosses, but when someone is doing something I don’t even know what it’s called… In wrestling I have to refer to DC… So even in Martial Arts, I’m not an expert,” Rogan explained.

“In jiu-jitsu, it happened in the last fight, on the last UFC card. Daniel Cormier didn’t know about the dead orchard, he thought this fighter was fine because they had two arms in when they were caught in a triangle, I go, ‘No, this is a real submission, this is f—— dangerous,” Rogan continued.

The fight that Rogan is referring to is the fight between Karine Silva and Dione Barbosa and in round two, Silva had Barbosa caught in the ‘Dead Orchard’ submission Rogan is referring to.

When will Joe Rogan retire from the UFC?

Although a large part of the fanbase has grown tired with Rogan’s commentary, he is unlikely to fully drop his duties any time soon.

And following the UFC’s new $7.7 billion broadcast deal, Dana White addressed Rogan’s future with the promotion, stating that he remains in the UFC’s plans going forward.
