Joe Rogan has been a part of the UFC since almost the beginning. He joined when the UFC was hardly talked about. He was been around for the highs and the lows. But as of lately, Joe Rogan has been questioned on whether he will return to the UFC to commentate fights or do Octagon interviews. On September 28th, UFC 266: Volkanovski Vs. Ortega took place and Joe Rogan was not a part of the team broadcasting the event. Joe Rogan has been known for not traveling internationally to do fights, but this flight took place in Las Vegas. The event went fine and is in the running for the card of the year. There were many great fights and performances, and Rogan’s appearance was not all that missed.

Rogan has openly said that he is getting bored of the UFC, which is apparent as he only shows up to do the big PPV events which happen around 12-15 times a year. He does not work on the free fight night cards, even though Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik (his broadcasting partners) work some of those. Joe Rogan has been openly criticized for his over reaction to fights and jumping to conclusions way to quick in fights, not to mention, he is in the news for something non-UFC related quite a bit. The UFC team does have replacements for them and fans are starting to take a liking to the replacements. Those range from Paul Felder to Dominick Cruz, or Michael Bisping. All of them are former UFC fighters who might have more of a background in MMA than Rogan does. This article is for anyone who watches the UFC or follows Joe Rogan. This is an editorial as well.

Whether or not Joe Rogan decides to step away from the UFC is not yet determined, but people have been talking about his absence and has caught the attention of fans and the media.
