Looks like Rogan and Cruz are having a little pissing war during the prelims:
"I love the way that Dominic Cruz is not responding to Joe Rogan's hyperbolic statements
Whenever Joe makes a dumb statement, Dominic should respond with "yeah, just like Ronda is a once ever athlete who would beat half of the men's 135lb division, right fuckhead?"
Or when Joe Rogan was going off about the 12-6 elbows for a good rant and Dom finally just says, "Could you stop talking about it?"
rogan isnt really meant for commentating he is meant for smoking weed and going off on rants. thats why his highlight is bitching about some spilled water in the cage.
Sounds like they are really butting heads, and UFC needs to make a call on this one. No more Dom and Joe together..
Dominick seems like the type of guy to try to bust peoples' balls every chance he gets. There's a strong competitive subtext between him and Joe in the commentary.
It's obvious that Dom and Joe don't like each other
I think Cruz is just a contrarian and Joe Rogan likes to be validated. But Cruz is not Brendan Schaub or Mike Goldberg, he is not going to validate your opinion if he doesn't agree with it.
Joe and Dom have no chemistry
Dom is fucking ruining this event. This agitation and irritation that Dom brings to the broadcast just sucks the fun out of the event. Hey DOM, this isn't a fucking final exam on MMA. It is a fight event. Why are you trying to rip apart everything Joe says like you a professor with a red pen? It sucks. Dom just isn't fun. He sounds like a fucking prick who can't enjoy anything.
Cruz is the expert, and he is letting Joe Rogan know that "gym bros" knowledge is not the best information.
When Joe Rogan stated that "training with weaker opponents helps you perfect your skills," Cruz didn't even bother to give a follow-up comment, because as the professional fighter training with the best, he probably thought to himself "this guy is talking out of his ass.""
