Will Joe Rogan Be Back For UFC 84?
With Joe Rogan noticeably absent from the commentating booth at UFC 83 in Montreal, there have been rumors out there in the MMA community that Rogan had split ways with the organization. Unless you were very excited to have Kenny Florian join Goldie on the broadcast, don’t worry as Rogan says he will definitely be back for UFC 84. I think KenFlo did a solid play-by-play job his first time round, but Rogan really is the voice of the Octagon and I’ll be glad to see him back. Rogan squashed all rumors of his UFC departure last month on his blog:
There’s been a lot of goofy articles written on the internet lately about me missing the UFC card in Montreal this weekend, speculating all sorts of silly reasons why I’m not going to be there, so I figured it would be a good idea if I cleared it up here.
The only reason I’m not going to be there is because of a family obligation. I’m certainly not upset at the UFC, and I’m not quitting to start doing commentary for a rival organization. I’ve also heard some ridiculous shit about me having massive fallout with the UFC president Dana White, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Dana is a very good friend of mine, and in the 7 years I’ve known him we’ve never even had a single disagreement. He’s a controversial dude, and a wild motherfucker, but that’s why he’s the perfect president for the wildest sport in the world.
