However, a color commentator will expand on these takes and truly say what they think, rather than observe what is going on. Obviously, if a fighter is badly losing then it’s still their job to point this out. Generally, a play-by-play commentator should be fairly neutral and shouldn’t give much bias. Often, they won’t talk as much during the round but may chip in with their own takes during the break. Whilst a color commentator isn’t a full-blown pundit, they usually give more opinionated stances compared to a play-by-play commentator. Color commentators can give more opinions compared to play-by-play commentators Sometimes, there may be one main commentator who is accompanied by two color commentators at the same time. In recent times, UFC color commentators include:Īs you can imagine, each color commentator is different and has their own style. Some have even been promoted to play-by-play commentators too if their opinions are deemed popular enough. Over the years, the UFC has had various color commentators who have come and gone. The aim of the color commentator is to complement the main talker and add to the description of what is going on. Here, Rogan could give his own opinion and say “Yes, Jones has been allowed too many left hooks in this fight.” As the saying goes, too many cooks spoil the broth and this is the case with commentary. For instance, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier are both color commentators. This could be added to by the color commentator. There are 30 seconds left of the first round.” However, he decided against it and steps back into the middle of the octagon.
For fifteen seconds straight, he may say something like “Jones just landed a hard left and slipped in to attempt a single leg takedown. Imagine Jon Jones is fighting and Joe Anik is the main commentator. The color commentator will fill in every now and then and add more color and depth to what is going on. So, imagine the main commentator tells most of the story. The color commentator acts as a sidekick for these and basically ‘fills in the color’, which is where the term comes from. You could say that these are the main commentators who do the majority of the talking. For instance, every punch landed and action by the second will be commented on. The play-by-play commentator will literally give a play-by-play of the action as it’s live. In MMA, you will typically have a play-by-play commentator and color commentator.
Auger estimates that Rogan will stick around for another couple of years and predicts that when Dana White leaves the UFC, that’s when Rogan will definitely leave, too.
The UFC won’t do to Rogan what they did to Goldberg because Rogan is too valuable considering his reputation. No one wants to be forced to hear him, but unfortunately, the UFC will not tell him to leave, either.Īuger agrees and says that it doesn’t matter if it’s his time to go or not because it’s not going to be the UFC’s decision anyway. He should provide his own commentary on his own (massive) platform. He rarely commentates on events (only US-based PPV events), and it’s easy to see the lack of knowledge. But now, it’s clear that Rogan doesn’t pay nearly as much attention to MMA. Previously, it was just Rogan and Mike Goldberg commentating on every event, which enabled Rogan to keep up with every UFC event. Riggs says that it’s “1000 percent time for him to move on.” He believes Rogan is great on commentary for entertainment value because we’re either enjoying him or laughing at him. In this video, Patrick Auger and Drake Riggs discuss those details and ultimately share their verdict on whether it’s time for the UFC to move on from Joe Rogan’s commentary. So, what’s the problem with Joe Rogan’s commentary nowadays? What went wrong for the guy who has been a longtime staple of UFC pay-per-view events? In particular, many fans were surprised by how one-sided the commentary was during the main event. Fans and media criticized Rogan for “extreme bias” and inaccurate commentary. Reacting to a controversial trip from Sen.
One important story coming out of UFC 256 last weekend was Joe Rogan’s “awful” commentary.
