I'm sure they will, Dana said the outcry for Fuel has been huge since this FOX deal went down.

Yes have read that but I shall see. Comcast doesn't even have the damn access for the WatchESPN app or the BigTenNetwork to go either so I'm not crossing any damn fingers.

Usually its Goldberg that says absolutely stupid crap, but the other night it was Rogan.

One time Rogan said "you know the most dangerous strikes are the ones that land"...

Man, no kidding Joe, I usually worry about the ones where they swing and miss...
You make it sound like this is unusual.... He says that kind of crap every fight night. He is worthless as an announcer and annoying as F***! Our entire UFC group (15-20 people) can't stand the guy...wish he would give it up or lose his voice or something. Dude sounds like a moron trying to announce the fights. Every freaking time he says that someone is in a very bad situation, they get out of it. That is why our UFC group calls the pick'em contest...DieRoganDie...hahaha

Rogan is actually pretty knowledgeable seeing as he's a legit brown belt in BJJ.

I love rogan as an announcer. He is very knowledgeable. Just because someone is in a dangerous situation doesn't mean they can't escape. He can usually tell exactly what a fighter needs to do to finish the hold. I don't think uverse carries fuel either

Don't understand the hate for Joe Rogan, he is huge for MMA and the UFC imo. He is an avid mixed martial arts fan and does an extremely good job of explaining what is going on during a fight(let's face it not all fans are knowledgeable). He is also a BJJ brown belt under Andre Pederneiras and was a Tae Kwon Do champion at one time.

Goldberg is alright, he's the straight man who's there to talk about the card, promote the sponsors, etc. Rogan's the color guy.

I don't like Rogan at all. He's on par with Joe Morgan and Jimmy Dykes, in my opinion.

He states the most obvious crap all the time. I could do without him. But, I understand he is passionate and enjoys the sport...some like him...oh well, I'll have to listen.

you have to understand that not everyone who watches is not a hardcore fan, he is there to walk through what is happening and explain what's happening to the casuals.

I like Rogan he does a good job I don't want someone to explain me every technical detail of the fight. He does just enough so the casual fan knows whats happening when it looks like 2 guys scissoring.

I actually typically like Rogan as an announcer, it is typically Goldberg that says absolutely retarded stuff.

Rogan is pretty knowledgable about the sport and especially the ground game.

90% of the people complaining about Rogan stating the obvious probably learned that obvious point by listening to Rogan.

Anybody hear about this, apparently BJ is bitter about this loss.
Just doing that to drum up promotion for a new fight. I bet the two are actually fine with each other. Diaz knows this game (both brothers do this for pretty much every fight). I bet he figures he can get a fight or two in and Diaz will beat Condit for the interim and then BJ is is possibly in a position for a title shot against Diaz/GSP.

What a joker that BJ Penn guy is. He got whooped straight up. Diaz stood 3 feet away and hit him in the face or whereever he wanted for 15 mins.

Either he's just drawing up attention for his return or it was a joke which is what I initially thought it was.
