One social media user said, “That match is nearly 2 months old. Get over it.” Another one added, “Rent free for Rogan.. he so casual Islam won that and clear.” However, one fan sided with Rogan, “Volk did get robbed.”

A fan continued, “The schoolyard analogy is stupid though because islam is on top of volk at the end of the first round and if it’s a real fight he just stays there there is no end of the round and then we restart on the feet.”

Another fan added, “Islam finished in a body triangle position in two rounds, the teacher should’ve stopped it there too.” Similarly, a fan wrote, “Makhachev won clearly how’s Joe confused.” Lastly, a fan added, “You are wrong Joe. Islam won 4-1.”

The comments from Rogan certainly enraged the fans on Instagram.

Rogan said in the latest JRE episode for UFC to add Pride Fighting Championship rules. The UFC commentator told Sandhagen, “You judge the fight as a whole and that the last parts of the fight are probably the most important parts. Like when you saw Volkanovski on top of Islam at the end of the fight pounding on him…”

Furthermore, Rogan gave a schoolyard analogy by saying, “Because if this is a schoolyard, the schoolyard analogy, the teachers come and break it up and you are on top, you f*cking won. No one’s gonna say ‘Islam won that fight. We got em’. No, you didn’t. The teachers stopped the fight with Volkanovski on top of you, punching you in the face. He won that fight. Everybody who saw that at the end of the fight was like ‘Volk got em'”.

This controversial call has been reiterated by Rogan many times on his podcast. Who do you think won that fight? Let us know in the comments.
