Let us know in the comments section. "That’s smashed up pal," wrote the 34-year-old. In another address to Rogan, McGregor tweeted a picture of Cerrone's battered face following their bout. The Irishman returned to the Octagon in a dominant 40-second TKO win over Donald Cerrone in January 2020, then went on to lose back-to-back bouts against Dustin Poirier the following year. The tirade was oddly timed considering the fight occurred a little more than four years ago, with McGregor having fought three more times in the UFC. What are you talking about, 'smash this and smash that?' What was smashed was my knee into his f*****g eye socket, yeah? S**t. “'That was an illegal knee on the head of a grounded opponent,'" mocked McGregor in a Twitter voice upload.

Posting a clip from his submission loss to Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, McGregor christened one of his moves 'the springbok knee' after catching his foe in the head while he was being mounted.

When do you think Joe will make his return? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.UFC commentator Joe Rogan is the latest target to enter Conor McGregor's sights for remarks he made during the Irishman's 2018 defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov. What did you make of Rogan’s prediction and thoughts for the fight? Will Jon Anik and Co. Even though he won’t be present for this fight card, there is no doubt that Rogan will be back in the commentator’s chair once the other cards this year come around. Thus, it appears that Rogan is clearly favoring Islam in the matchup and will definitely be tuning in for the fight. The only area of concern for Islam was supposedly his striking, which he has since improved as well. In addition to that, his wrestling, grappling, and raw strength is a big challenge for any lightweight, let alone featherweight like Volkanovski. For one, Rogan feels that Islam is a really big lightweight. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, with Sean O’Malley, Rogan was very keen to share his thoughts on the headline fight.Īccording to Joe, he believes that Volkanovski will have a lot of trouble trying to contend with Islam. Coming back to Rogan, who, despite not being a part of UFC 284, is still very excited for the showdown that’s about to happen. As such, it is safe to assume that the veteran UFC commentator is likely missing the event due to his busy schedule involving podcasting, standup commentary, and other obligations.Ĭurrently, the reason for former champ-champ Daniel ‘DC’ Cormier’s absence is unknown and surprising considering his friendship with Islam Makhachev. Why is Joe Rogan missing from UFC 284?Īs mentioned previously, Joe Rogan, who has missed a number of events outside North America, along with Daniel Cormier, will not be part of the commentary team for UFC 284. Lastly, longtime UFC correspondent John Gooden will be in charge of the pre and post-fight interviews with the fighters backstage and provide additional updates throughout the event. Joining the roster, we will see # 5 ranked light heavyweight Anthony Smith, and #5 ranked lightweight Michael Chandler along with Laura Sanko joining the show as analysts. Other than that we also have Brendan Fitzgerald, who will serve as the host for the post-fight show. Notably, this is the first time Jon Anik, Dominick Cruz, and Michael Bisping will be calling a PPV event together. A post shared by UFC for the commentary desk, we will see Jon Anik make his return alongside former two-time UFC champion Dominick Cruz and UFC Hall of Famer and former middleweight champ, Michael Bisping. ![]()
