Även om kommentator Joe Rogan tonat ner sig något sedan UFC inledde samarbetet med FOX har han alltid varit öppen och ärlig med sina åsikter gällande sporten som han jobbar med och så tydligt älskar.
Denna gång talar Rogan om inkompetenta domare och att de helt enkelt borde få sparken.
”I think they should fire judges that suck. I don’t understand how someone can keep their job over and over again while screwing up over and over. What do you call that exactly? Extreme incompetence. How does someone judge any sort of combat sport without at least a passing interest in the sport? If you pulled aside, and I don’t want to name any names, but if you pulled aside some of those judges from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, that has notoriously had horrific scoring, and started asking them about fighters that aren’t fighting in the UFC, would they know anything about them? Would they know anything about who the top judo guy is? Would they even know anything about Gilbert Melendez and how good he is? Do these guys know how you set up an armbar? If I sat them down and said, ’Do an armbar on this guy’, would they be able to do that? I think you’ve got to know when a guy’s in trouble and when a guy’s not in trouble, and the only way to know that, is to have actually trained. I don’t think you can be a person who judges martial arts without being an expert in martial arts.”, säger Rogan till Bloody Elbow.
Det är svårt att inte hålla med honom om att man måste vara väl insatt i den sport man ska döma och bedöma.
