#3. “Extremely strange and unprofessional” – Fan opinion on Joe Rogan’s commentary

“[UFC 277 is] the real world title fight. I don’t think we’re ever going to see DF down at 125 again, and I think those two gentlemen, there’s a real good argument that Moreno won that last fight as well. So that is, in my opinion, that’s the world title fight right there.”

Fans thought that Rogan’s comments came off as disrespectful towards the undisputed flyweight champion, who was present at the venue with his belt to watch the fight unfold. They sounded off on Twitter, calling the color commentator out for his ‘unprofessionalism’ during a live broadcast.

Joe Rogan just completely shit over Deiveson Figueiredo on the #UFC277 broadcast. Basically implied he’s not the real UFC flyweight champion. That was very odd.

Pena’s gnarly cuts did seem quite severe as she left the octagon, while the cage links were still dripping with her blood.

However, Pena cleared the air on the matter after some initial recovery, confirming that she won’t be needing any surgery after all.
