"Rogan told me, I was like kind of on some [inaudible] , and then Rogan said it on air... he goes "oh we got to be careful with our biased commentary. And he is like he just doesn't care... he's like these people like... he just does not care.

When Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier faced backlash for commentary bias at UFC 259

Back in March 2021, UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier received widespread backlash for commentary bias in the fight between Jan Blachowicz and Israel Adesanya at UFC 259.

The duo were chastised by many, including Justin Gaethje and Marvin Vettori, for being biased towards Adesanya during the fight.

In an episode of his famous podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan stated how he dealt with allegations of commentary bias:

“I try to be very fair, always, with my commentary. And I’m also very respectful. Like, even if you think that my commentary was biased, or one way or another, you’ll never think I’m disrespectful, ‘cause I try to; unless someone’s doing something dirty.”
