Joe Rogan, a long-standing figure in UFC, became the talk of the MMA community following a viral clip from the recently concluded UFC 310 event.
The commentator, who began his journey in the promotion at UFC 12 as a backstage reporter, appeared distracted during the live broadcast of last Saturday's pay-per-view. Cameras caught Rogan seemingly preoccupied with his phone, prompting co-host Daniel Cormier to tap him and bring his attention back to the fight.
The incident quickly made rounds on social media, with fans sharing their reactions. One user joked:
“Joe Rogan cannot wait to be done with this UFC job, he has checked out 😭😭”

Another commented on the long runtime of UFC events, suggesting fatigue:
“90% of the card sucked and they are there for 8 straight hours.”
Others took a more humorous approach, with one fan writing:
“He couldn’t wait to see what daddy Musk was tweeting”
Meanwhile, another quipped:
“Joe should tap DC back and say stop eating.”

When Daniel Cormier was caught in a viral moment similar to Joe Rogan’s during commentary duties
Former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier was caught indulging in snacks while performing his analysis during a live UFC event. The incident took place during 'Dana White’s Contender Series' at the Apex facility, where Cormier was calling the action in a bout between Bogdan Grad and Michael Aswell.
Viewers couldn’t help but notice Cormier munching away mid-broadcast, a moment that has since gone viral. Even UFC featherweight Max Holloway chimed in, poking fun at Cormier for his on-air snacking. Addressing the playful criticism on the DC & RC Show, Cormier explained:
“Listen RC [co-host Ryan Clark], Rogan brings these snacks every time bro. He brings this beef jerky. So we sit there and we eat it, and we eat popcorn… Damn that Max Holloway… that guy constantly taking shots at me.”
