“How THE F**K do you not RECOGNIZE him,” Joe Rogan extremely FURIOUS over the UFC for underpromoting Demetrious Johnson

Joe Rogan- Demetrious Johnson

Joe Rogan can tolerate anything but not slander or ignorance to the name and legacy of Demetrious Johnson, even if it’s the UFC. Rogan is a longtime UFC commentator who is also a celebrated comedian in the USA, but his mostly known for his broadcast work on the desk of the world’s biggest MMA organization since 1997. Today, Rogan is also the host of the most popular podcast in the world by the name of The Joe Rogan Experience.

Johnson is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time. Johnson, who as of now fights in the ONE Championship organization, was at one point the pound-for-pound king in the UFC. Johnson is a rare type of perfectionist who is as good as a Muay Thai fighter in striking, as good as an NCAA wrestler in wrestling and as good as a Jiu-Jitsu guru in groundwork. Johnson’s wins include the likes of John Dodson, Joseph Benavidez, Henry Cejudo and many more. Johnson is coming off a huge win over Adriano Moraes from ONE Championship after which the former has reclaimed his world flyweight title.

In the latest episode of his podcast featuring former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, Rogan talks about Israel Adesanya, Colby Covington, Islam Makhachev, Charles Oliveira, John Dodson, Derek from More Plates More Dates and many more people. In the midst of all, Rogan happily reacts to Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson’s latest win at ONE Championship against Moraes and also took a subtle hit at the UFC for not giving Johnson the due public credit for his contribution to the company and the sport.

“They don’t talk about him, they don’t bring him up man, it’s just really weird,” says Rogan. “Like the UFC doesn’t promote him anymore. Like now he’s gone, he goes to another organization. But it’s still the fights that he had in the UFC like when they showed that whole [promo], they have that music and the other compilation, how the f**k do you not have Mighty Mouse in that… is he not in the Hall of Fame? Whatever, I don’t get any of that… You gotta recognize, the guy’s one of the greatest champions ever…” continued Rogan.

What do you make of Rogan’s comments subtly criticizing the UFC for not tributing Demetrious Johnson enough? Where do you put Johnson among the greatest fighters of all time? Who do you think Johnson should defend his ONE Flyweight title against in his next fight? The UFC for sure needs to put Johnson into the UFC Hall of Fame, this fighter was not just a world champion, he is the one with the record for the most consecutive title defences in a single run in UFC history.
