Israel Adesanya and Jon Anik react on Instagram

Jon Anik shared a comment on UFC’s Instagram post and wrote: “Joe is strong.” This was in reference to the part in the video where Joe Rogan was so overwhelmed to see the knockout that he knocked Anik from the chair he was sitting on. In what looked like a gentle push, Anik just could not maintain his balance and fell out of his chair.

Israel Adesanya also didn’t hold back from reminding everybody that he finally broke the curse and defeated Alex Pereira once and for all. He commented: “3-1.” It is clear that the commentary team enjoys bringing energy and passion to the biggest matches in the sport.

Fans react to the commentary team’s reaction

Let us take a look at what the UFC fans have to say about the commentary team’s reaction to Adesanya’s KO.

“Can we all agree that Rogan, DC and Anik are the best trio of commentators.”

“Every fight Joe: “oh my goodness”; DC: “he got him bad”; Anik: actually commenting.”

“Gotta be the best job for MMA fans.”

“If by “That KO” you mean Joe literally shoving him.”

“Lmao. He wasn’t falling til joe shoved him. Chill out.”

“Rogan manhandled him almost.”

“Joe need to lay off that testosterone.”

Fans were amused after watching Joe Rogan shove Jon Anik out of his seat. They suggest that the 55-year-old commentator and podcast host goes easy on his testosterone therapy. They even joked about the fact that the real KO is Rogan pushing Anik out of his chair. The fans also claim that Cormier, Anik, and Rogan are arguably the best trio in commenting.
