The 55-year-old UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, is loved by many for his composure and enthusiasm as a commentator. People know Rogan closely through his show, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ The show gave Rogan a space to have some candid conversations with his guests. He even talks about the reality behind many incidents that the audience never gets to watch on the screen. A similar revelation happened in a recent episode of the show. Joe Rogan had over UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad on his show. Muhammad mentioned how his father despises Rogan for never interviewing his son. When Rogan learned how Muhammad’s father felt about him, he wasn’t as shocked as he should have been.

Why do people hate Joe Rogan?

Rogan continued by saying that he was aware that some people despise him for not interviewing their favorite fighter. He is, however, completely powerless over the situation. On JRE MMA Show #134, Rogan said “People get mad at me, you know when the fights go to a distance if a fight goes to a decision like.. I don’t have the say as to whether or not the fighter gets interviewed.”

Rogan further added, “that’s the track, it’s generally they run at a time, it’s a time constraint like they make a concession. Say if there are five fights in the undercard and the undercard has taken place in x amount of minutes, you know, because it’s on ESPN plus.”

He then continued, “If fights go to a distance and they look at the time, they are like the first fight went into a distance, and the second fight went into a distance, they say ‘no interview’. They just say that in my ear and I’m like, okay.

The commentator made an attempt to clarify that there is undoubtedly a lot going on behind the camera. Unquestionably, the 55-year-old is among the best interviewers of all time. He even provides a space where many can speak. Additionally, Rogan has the patience to hear what others have to say. Although he might not always concur with what the interviewee says, he is able to deal with opposing points of view.

The post-fight interview

Rogan began working for the UFC in 1997 as an interviewer and color commentator. Since then, it has been challenging for fans to imagine a UFC without Rogan. Millions of people all around the world adored Rogan‘s post-fight interviews with T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 173, Nick Diaz at UFC 137, and Conor McGregor at UFC 205.
