Jumping on a good opportunity and Free Agent; preparing for life after Joe Rogan; or both?

Rogan been close to leaving the past few years. He's taking less and less shows and he doesn't see eye to eye with fox execs about his style

He's spoke numerous times how he wanted smith to replace him

 

[LinusCaldwell]

So what happened with him?

So what happened with him?

No idea, guessing he just left, Joe Rogan vouched for him and then the UFC hired him.

Bellator's card on the 20th starts at 9 pm EST btw. This probably means Rory vs Lima will be on around 10-10:30 pm EST.

Lmao @ putting the battle of the flabby and sick as the main event, Lima/Rory is arguably the best MMA fight of the night (on paper) between both cards. I guess as a fan it allows me to check out early on Bellator and devote the rest of the night to Spence/Peterson and 220.

So what happened with him?

Basically his 2018 year of his contract was an "option year" so they(bellator) pretty much said that he would have to take a paycut to activate the option so he just chose to leave

That's what I'm doing breh. I'll check out Pico, Chandler/Goiti and Rory/Lima then I'm gonna be dual screening Peterson/Spence and 220.

deep interview

 

[Roman Brady]

really wanted to see him in the ufc during the M-1 global days and he was great with sean wheelock in bellator. But since grande and the ever rotating color commentators hes just phoned it in. In saying that if he can take spots away from DC, florian or cruz great. But UFC still have a problem with play by play. Anik and grisham are horrible. They need to give the guy from DWTNC a try on ppvs

Having smith and anik voices on the same broadcast would be grating and someone has to have realized 3 man booths are a clusterfukk and dont mask anything

Lol at his first gig being ufc tonight tho

 

[FaTaL]

Too much good sh!t on the 20th

How am I suppose to choose and sh!t

 

[aceboon]

Smh

 

[So UnThotful]

Smh

221 now the worst ppv card this year

 

[jackswstd]

Romero gon smash Rockhold

 

[Roman Brady]

Lets hope, but i doubt it. Hes tasted a loss after going undefeated for a while at a high level. You add the fact that hes 40+ and it makes it worse
