Default Rogan interview on ESPN

I know, I know, not another Joe Rogan interview. But this one shows to me that he truly wants the best for the sport, not just MMA. From ESPN...

Good interview. He does love the sport, but gets alittle to excited at times. He also chooses favorites, and tends to comment alot during the fight for his favorite.
What can you expect though, I'd probably do the same.

Great interview.

Yeah, Joe is basically showing that he's not Dana White's errand boy.

Is there any doubt that Joe Rogan is an awesome guy? I know its kind of universally the cool thing to do to hate on him but I think hes a great commentator and pulls know punches when he talks.

As the saying goes, Joe Rogan Owns You

There was one time I was scared for Joe, when Lindland asked him after his fight( You want me to take you down, so you can feel how light my punches are?) went something like that. But all in all I think he's respected among fighters also.

Ehehe. I know what you meant.
It's not the first time Joe's said something Dana would disagree with.
WAR Joegan.

Although, I don't like the phrase "ballet of violence".

One of his last UFC fights regardless.

joe rogan is basically a guy who gets paid to be an mma fan, he has favorites, and he's very knowledgeable about the fighters, and the techniques, i don't see anything wrong with that, i wish it was my job :P
