In the latest issue, we talk about fans giving Joe Rogan a hard time for his choice of words on air, Julianna Pena talks about her forehead injury, and more. #3 Extremely strange and unprofessional - Fan opinion on Joe Rogan s commentary Joe Rogan at UFC 273 Joe Rogan is known for his fair share of wild takes on a wide array of subjects, and he is not one to shy away from giving similar opinions during his UFC commentary. During UFC 277 this past weekend, Rogan stated that the co-main event interim title bout between Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France was, in fact, the "real world title fight" for the flyweight belt, and that he was doubtful that Deiveson Figueiredo would ever defend his 125lb belt. Shaheen Al-Shatti@shaunalshatti“[UFC 277 is] the real world title fight. I don’t think we’re ever going to see DF down at 125 again, and I think those two gentlemen, there’s a real good argument that Moreno won that last fight as well. So that is, in my opinion, that’s the world title fight right there.”38214“[UFC 277 is] the real world title fight. I don’t think we’re ever going to see DF down at 125 again, and I think those two gentlemen, there’s a real good argument that Moreno won that last fight as well. So that is, in my opinion, that’s the world title fight right there.” Fans thought that Rogan's comments came off as disrespectful towards the undisputed flyweight champion, who was present at the venue with his belt to watch the fight unfold. They sounded off on Twitter, calling the color commentator out for his 'unprofessionalism' during a live broadcast. Shaheen Al-Shatti@shaunalshattiJoe Rogan just completely shit over Deiveson Figueiredo on the #UFC277 broadcast. Basically implied he's not the real UFC flyweight champion. That was very odd.155063Joe Rogan just completely shit over Deiveson Figueiredo on the #UFC277 broadcast. Basically implied he's not the real UFC flyweight champion. That was very odd.

The Brazilian claimed she could have finished 'The Venezuelan Vixen' in the first round, but chose not to — a strategy that was "ridiculously bad" in the words of Chael Sonnen. In a video recapping UFC 277, Belal Muhammad dismissed Nunes' claims and said that 'The Lioness' was getting too "cocky" and "arrogant" about her win. 'Remember the Name' pointed out that Nunes left the octagon on crutches and a swollen eye, which speaks the opposite of her bold statement. "There were moments in the fight where Julianna [Pena] could have won that fight. Amanda [Nunes], I felt like, is getting too cocky, getting too arrogant saying, 'I could have finished her in the first round if I wanted to, but I wanted to go five rounds so I could show her who's better,' blah, blah, blah. Get out of here with that. You couldn't finish her. She knows that Julianna punches hard, her eye was very swollen, she left on crutches while leaving. So, she was definitely in a fight."

At the UFC 277 post-event press conference, Dana White informed the media that Pena had a "big chunk" missing from her forehead and that she would need to visit a plastic surgeon. Marc Raimondi@marcraimondiWhite: Julianna has a big chunk missing from her forehead. She’s going to see a plastic surgeon right now. … She got pretty banged up tonight. #UFC27717219White: Julianna has a big chunk missing from her forehead.

Brett Okamoto@bokamotoESPNThis is the end of the fight. You can literally see strings of Julianna’s blood hanging between the cage links, while she’s in there still trying to pull out a miracle. What a badass.2364140This is the end of the fight. You can literally see strings of Julianna’s blood hanging between the cage links, while she’s in there still trying to pull out a miracle. What a badass. https://t.co/6Q27iAJxqM However, Pena cleared the air on the matter after some initial recovery, confirming that she won't be needing any surgery after all. "Tougher than a two dollar steak. Thanks for the love everyone! Just a cat scratch that required a few stitches, no chunks missing, no surgery necessary. Love you all! We're 1-1 now." In the hashtags for the post, Pena pitched a trilogy fight with Nunes since they're now squared up in their series.
