Din Thomas recently ranked MMA commentators, including Joe Rogan. The former UFC fighter was joined by hosts Gilbert Galon, Nick Dunn, and David on their podcast The Casuals Ep. 65. The conversation revolved around multiple facets of combat sports including the commentators.
The list of commentators included prominent names like Jon Anik, Michael Bisping, Daniel Cormier, and Chael Sonnen. Thomas rated their commentary based on his analysis.
When asked about Rogan, the 48-year-old praised the renowned commentator's aura and the importance of his presence in pay-per-view events.
"He's solid because you know there is...and I know a lot of people think that he's the best but I cant go that high because, you know Joe is out of the game a bit, he's out of the loop a little bit, but you can't have UFC without Joe Rogan. The commentary, a pay-per-view won't be the same without Joe. "

He continued:
"But if it wasn't Joe and it was just some other dude saying the same things that Joe's saying, I'd be like 'Oh he's solid' but Joe brings an aura and energy about him that you just need."
