A dejected Joe Rogan reacts after missing Sharabutdin Magomedov's insane KO of Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308 [VIDEO]
Joe Rogan was immensely disappointed after missing out on Sharabutdin Magomedov's double-spinning backfist KO at UFC 308. The 57-year-old blamed his habit of "talking too much" for his agonizing miss.
Rogan also shares the commentary table for UFC PPVs alongside Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik. However, Paul Felder replaced Rogan as the color commentator for UFC 308. This is why the Boston native caught up with Brendan Schaub, Eddie Bravo, and Bryan Callen for a 'Fight Companion' episode of his podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience.
Rogan was busy sharing his experience taking several hits while Magomedov shut the lights on Arman Petrosyan with a superb double-spinning backfist. It was Bravo who narrated the entire incident to Rogan seconds later.
A post on X from @HappyPunch showcased the entire moment along with Rogan's reaction after knowing what he missed. The JRE host said:
"Oh man, I missed the whole thing. Goddamn, I talk too much."

Why was Joe Rogan absent from the commentary table at UFC 308?
MMA fans have appreciated Joe Rogan's value-added commentary at UFC PPVs. However, the former Fear Factor host has stayed absent from the commentary table for several UFC PPVs, including the UFC 308.
This is largely due to Rogan's busy schedule. The lifelong martial artist is a jack of several trades apart from his commentary career. Rogan is a seasoned comedian, an actor, and one of today's most famous podcasters.
Rogan's multiple gigs don't leave him with enough time to travel outside the US to call on the other UFC PPVs hosted around the world. The UFC 308 is being held in Abu Dhabi, which is enough to realize why Rogan isn't sharing the table with Daniel Cormier and Jon Anik. However, with UFC 309 stated to be hosted at the Madison Square Garden on Nov. 17, fans won't have to wait for long to witness Rogan's comeback to the commentary table.
