Joe Rogan responds to Rampage Jackson: I can't protect someone's feelings at the expense of analysis

Quinton Jackson recently called out UFC color commentator Joe Rogan for "playing the rusty trombone for jiu-jitsu fighters." The argument "Rampage" made was essentially that Rogan is biased towards jiu-jitsu guys and it shows in his commentary.
And Jackson just wants him to shut the f*ck up sometimes.
Now, Rogan has taken the time to respond on his podcast and he's eager to clear up the confusion:
"Rampage Jackson's mad at me. I was watching and he was calling me fake ass. He was saying that all I want him to do his throw low kicks and the reason he doesn't throw low kicks is because he was fighting a wrestler 'you dumbass.' Look, man, I love Rampage. I don't mean to be rude when I assess things. I'm just trying to objectively figure out how this guy could be doing better than he's doing. ... When I'm doing commentary on a fight, all I'm trying to do is sort of objectively assess what I think someone could be doing differently to try to get themselves out of spot if they're not winning or... I'm just trying to commentate. I'm not like critiquing the guy's soul. I'm not like breaking down who he is as a person. I like the guy a lot. ... The last thing I want to do is add more pressure or add more stress. All I'm doing is trying to just... I'm analyzing the fight, that's all it is. I have to be objective. I can't protect someone's feelings at the expense of doing what I'm supposed to be doing, which is sort of analyzing what's going on."
It's a tightrope Rogan walks when calling shows. He has to objectively call the action while putting personal feelings aside and avoid letting outside factors influence how he analyzes fights.
Such as "Rampage" calling him out.
We'll get to see what affect, if any, this has on Rogan when he commentates Jackson's upcoming bout against Ryan Bader at UFC 144 this upcoming Sat., Feb. 25, 2012, in Japan. And the post-fight interview, should Jackson win, will be interesting to say the least.
Catch video of Rogan talking about the incident -- including what he thinks would happen if they ran into each other on the street -- after the jump.

Joe Rogan would kick the fuck out of Rampage's legs.
And then Rampage would kill him once Rogan gassed.

He said they would be cool
Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209
rogan needs to stop being biased with wrestlers, fuck that boring style.
Top 5 most boring fighters to watch p4p:
1. Jake "Mr. Snuggie" Shields
2. G "what's the Rush?" SP
3. Jon Fitch
4. Tyron "wanna cuddle?" Woodley
5. any wrestler w/ the same fight strategy as #1-4
wait Rogan said he's biased towards aggressive strikers like Garcia
Rampage thinks he’s towards BJJ guys.
you think he’s biased towards wrestlers.
are we seeing how f’n pointless this argument is?

gus johnson ftw!
I’m almost complete with my transformation…once they attach that donkey schlong on me, I will be able to satisfy myself like danago does all day long and change my name to Buck Angel II
I lost to Cruz Jackson. He’s the best. I padded his record and just a can. I talk shit to try and get replies when In reality I still play the original Halo on original XBOX like a religiously. I’m so totally awesome and straight and I act gay on a blog only because I’m the second loneliest mother fucker on Mania. First goes to Stallion. I want Shivan to lose to Cruz and Diaz to show how overrated he is. My favorite fighter is Josh Burkman. Thank You.

I played 8=Danago in words with friends and he quit just like shogun.
fuck gus johnson .. stupid fuck and his .. well this is mma and sometimes these things happen ? after that shit went down in nashville … no gus it doesnt happen .. you stupid shit .
So every morning this guy comes to my apartment complex to collect cans out of the dumpster he then crushes them .. turns out the guys name is fedor ..
Gus Johnson is far and away one of the better announcers and it's a shame he hasn't been on more shows

The cool thing is it’s very obvious that Rogan has a lot of respect for Rampage as he didn’t attack Rampage at all, just stated facts.
Joe is a TKD bb, he was a tkd fighter LONG before and LONGER than he’s been a jits guy so I give him slack. The announcers job is to educate and point out, not pick sides.
Cheers,

He's the best in the biz, period
He calls it like he sees it.
I am a huge Rogan fan and even still sometimes I think he says shit that’s wrong, or he misses something….. That’s called being human.
I’m sure if he followed me around when I ‘m on the job he could point several times I missed something or just didn’t quite get it “right”.
Rampage get’s but hurt anytime anyone criticizes him……even if it’s over the top in it’s padding and trying to be coolness and someone says “don’t get mad Rampage..but” then he STILL gets mad.
Rampage just feels no one should
dare to disagree. It’s actually pretty childish but there you, that’s his character. It’s why his interviews with Helwani are so hilarious.

It's just crazy that
he thinks working in a sport like this, promoting himself as a personality as he does that he should come in for criticism. Imagine how he’d throw the toys out of his pram if he was GSP and still taking the heat.
by DrainBamaged on Feb 21, 2012 3:35 PM EST up reply actions
The fact of the matter is...
Rampage isn’t a kickboxer…
And his style has gotten him this far….he lost against Bones but other than that fight, I haven’t seen anyone dominate him to the point where a drastic change in his style is needed
You dont have to be a kickboxer to throw some kick. Are you saying that him adding another dimension to him game, like kicks could be a bad thing? Throwing a kick isn’t what I would consider to a “drastic change” in his style, it would just make him more well rounded.
if Joe and page went at it, it might b kinda close imo. Joe and everyone else in the world knows rampage only has two weapons, if Joe could avoid being literally killed by rampage this actually could b a sick fight lol and theyre close in weight too

if Rampage wins than this will be squashed during the post fight interview
if he loses Rampage will get more bitter than normal and Joe should live in his basement for a few months.
Rampage is a bit sensitive these days. it’s kind of funny watching a grown ass killer whine like a 4 year old.

joe would win the debate if it focuses on commentary about Rampage
Rogan is sometimes biased…it if it’s purely about jackson commentary rogan won’t be wrong, however rogan has been biased towards many a fighter and there’s proof for that… just look at a nate diaz vs Maynard… I think maynard won that fight, but look at the commentary of rogan… completely biased
"Did you know that if you mix equal parts
of gasoline and equal parts frozen orange juice
concentrate, you can make napalm?"
I completely agree with you..
but think about what you are saying.
He’s only biased when you don’t agree with him? Like your example?
So when you think he’s right then he’s not biased?
Why does it have to be bias? Maybe he’s just wrong, or maybe he’s right and you are wrong.
Don’t get me twisted, I feel the exact way you do but I am open to the fact that it could be me. Maybe he just sees it different then me
jtc... you're making me dizzy
you got a point it may not be ‘bias’… it could just be ‘wrong’… but whatever the case when the opponent is outworking the fighter(joe is talking most about) or doing things that are working for him in the cage, Joe needs to say something and acknowledge it at the moment… I use the word bias’ because it sometimes seem so one sided…
However ur right… I don’t really know what it is… but I do know I would like to see Rogan discuss this more

bias is fine
my only quarrell is in some fights he focuses on the offense of only one fighter while ignoring the other. i don’t remember too make examples other than Machida Shogun I but i know that it happens. being biased or having an opinion is fine, but it shouldn’t effect the play-by-play portion of the commentating.

Here's what I see outta Joe Rogan's biased commentary
… rogan states what fighters are good at then he tries to back it up by what’s going on in the fight… for instant if he touts someone as a good strikerhe won’t give much credit to the opponent that is currently beating him by a small margin in striking for the 1st round. If they’re still getting beat by late in the 2nd round then Rogan will begin to change his tune and comment on the speed of the other striker or what they are doing right. Rogan needs to diversify a bit and not be so stuck on his intial perception and commentary.
"Did you know that if you mix equal parts
of gasoline and equal parts frozen orange juice

So you think he shouldn't take into account his previous knowledge?

No,
What he’s saying is Rogan is sometimes too slow to adjust his commentary to what’s actually happening in the fight. At least that’s what I’ve seen.

Does anybody honestly think Rampage leg kicking Jones would have ended well for Page?
With Page’s slow ass kicks and Jones’ long ass arms, I don’t see them being that effective. I actually see Jones catching them and planting Page on his back and winning the fight even quicker.

What fight he’s had recently tells you he’s washed up? Lasting the longest with Jones, beating Machida in a fight everyone thought he’d lose, taking Hamill’s will to fight, or taking Rashad to decision? He’s not quite done yet. Belt holder, probably not, but he’s got some fights left.

Those are some charitable descriptions. Another way to put it is that he is 4-3 in his last 7 fights, with two of the victories being decisions over Jardine and Hamill.
Fan of: Cole Miller, Amir Sadollah, Alan Belcher, Frank Mir, Matt Brown
And those 3 losses are to former champs.
2 of them are to the number 1 and 2 in the division. So that makes him washed up?

if he used them sparingly but smartly they could have helped
Hendo is amazing at using a quick inside leg kick to set up his bombs. Rampage could have gotten inside a little easier if he used the short inside leg kick. it wouldn’t have changed the outcome…….fuck it, it doesn’t matter.

Same here.
Machida obviously did the best at closing the distance, but we all saw how long that lasted. Jones is fantastic at adjusting and he would have let Page come in and tied him up and drug him to the ground. Jackson’s best bet would have been to clip Jones hard on the way in and Ty to finish it right there.
You mind your own damn business.

there is nothing 'objective' about rogan's commentary
Rogan’s job is colour commentator folks, Goldie does the play by play. Rogan’s main goal is to engage and entertain the audience (and new fans) with what he says.
Rogan is bias towards BJJ and kicking martial arts because, oh wait, that’s right he’s a brown belt in BJJ and a black belt in taekwondo!!!
I got no problem with Rogan… most of the time he is right. And Rampage shouldn’t take it personal, dude’s just doing his job… but when you get paid to talk… there’s only so much you can say about a fight. Think about all the wrestling fans that came over when Brock started, or the boxing fans watching their first UFC… somebody has to explain what’s going on when the fight hits the ground. Yeah, we all know what’s up, doesn’t mean the casual fan does.
You borrow my brain for five seconds and just be like "dude can't handle it unplug this bastard"
"We went & got CHICKEN together...we went to Popeye's"
If this statement is true, then this is entirely Rampage’s fault!! How the FUCK could Page deny a bond like that? This shit must stop!

I used to be such a big Rampage fan.
Now he seems so bitter and irritable, and all his comments about not being a martial artist are just childish. He seems to still be trying for that thug attitude that kids in high school have, but it’s embarrassing when you see a grown man doing it.
If he weren’t so obsessed with being stubborn and cool, he wouldn’t head-hunt, and mixing up his skills would lead to the knockouts his fans really want to see.
How is Joe biased?
All Joe is saying is that Rampage should mix up his style to confuse the opponent and have an advantage in the fight. What is the problem with that? Joe says this about both fighters while they are fighting each other with no clear favourite while he is doing this. If Rampage was smart enough he would take the free advise and use it to improve his game instead of bitching about nothing.
