Joe Rogan has been calling UFC fights for over 20 years. He continues to do so, on the biggest shows on the calendar, despite being one of the most popular, and well paid, podcasters on the planet.
Despite his association with the UFC brand, there has been a growing chorus of discontent regarding the quality of his commentary work. A common complaint is that Rogan finds a narrative within a fight and sticks with it, even if it doesn’t accurately reflect what is unfolding in the cage.
Rogan will be working UFC 261 tonight alongside Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier (who has also received some criticism recently).
