Isn't There Anyone Else?: The Joe Rogan Story

In the course of a UFC show I often find myself muttering about what an idiot Joe Rogan is. I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes I just can't stand him. So recently I tried to figure out why the UFC has stuck by him.

The first thing I was surprised to find about Joe Rogan was that he actually has an MMA background. He holds a brown belt in BJJ under Machado and Eddie Bravo. That's nothing to be spat at.

Also he is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Sure, Tae Kwon Do isn't really common in MMA, but it shows some knowledge of striking on his part. He actually participated successfully in many competitions. However, this does not take away from the boneheaded things he does.

One quote, in particular, that I found myself dumbfounded by was this one, "Marvin Eastman's cut looked like a goat's vagina!". WHAT?! This is merely one example of a dumb quote among many.

Joe also seems to have problems with his sexuality displayed in these next two quotes:

"Karo Parysian has the best buttocks in judo," and "If Tyson Griffin were a girl you'd say he has a badonkadonk."

Finally, as BJ Penn made his way to the ring to fight, Joe inexplicably uttered the phrase, " This is the best BJ we've ever seen!".

These quotes are often coupled with the nervous giggling of Mike Goldberg. and the deafening sighs of appalled MMA fans.

Finally, Joe has even escalated to using physical bonehead moves. He once challenged Wesley Snipes to a fight. I don't care how many belts Joe has, Wesley Snipes is a big bad dude!

Joe is just really dumb sometimes. Maybe that's why Dana keeps him around. Not only do you not know what he is going to say next, but he makes you feel smart and who doesn't like a nice boost of self-esteem?
