Joe Rogan responds to criticism of biased UFC commentary: “I try to be very fair, always, with my commentary”

Joe Rogan has responded to accusations suggesting he sometimes engages in bias commentary in the UFC.

While he may not be in the commentary booth every single weekend anymore, Joe Rogan is still the most familiar face on the call whenever he’s in the mix. He’s known for being the enthusiastic member of the group, whether it be a two-man team or the more common three-man team.

Alas, even though many love his work, others aren’t big fans of his style.

After being asked about the potential of bias in his commentary during a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the host had the following to say.

“I try to be very fair, always, with my commentary. And I’m also very respectful. Like, even if you think that my commentary was biased, or one way or another, you’ll never think I’m disrespectful, ‘cause I try to; unless someone’s doing something dirty.”
