Joe Rogan is a phenomenon that goes beyond just MMA. And that stands true when fans edit his commentary over a very out-of-control Basketball scene. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction, especially when the internet is involved. Recently, at a San Francisco match between the Warriors and Timberwolves, things slipped away from order to chaos.

The two teams were just fresh into the match that tensions burned up high. This was just a brawl waiting to happen and eventually, it did. In fact, even before a point was scored players on both the teams started going at it with each other. This is when Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors made a questionable decision.

What happened and how does Joe Rogan come up?

Joe Rogan is known for his explosive commentary and loud expressions. The podcaster and color commentator is certainly one of the most expressive speakers in the UFC. However, even he could not have predicted that an audio clip of his commentary would be used in an NBA game.

And who could have? Rivalries are common in any sport. Nonetheless, for something like an all-out brawl to break out between basketball teams during a big game is rather unsettling. More unsettling is the fact that Green tried to submit one of his opponents. In a game where you can only score using a basketball. Yes, you read that right.

Once the fight broke out and the officials ran to break it up things settled down. However, until then Green had kept his opposite team’s Rudy Gobert in a chokehold. All hell broke loose, the player had Gobert in a choke for several seconds before officials and teammates could separate the two.

As a result, Green will be banned for five games to come. This also takes a chunk out of his season’s salary. It all boils down to him losing over $7,00,000 in forfeited salary. Clearly, a move the player might regret as he may sit outside watching his team play. Either way, fans might still be happy that we got a brilliant clip of Rogan’s commentary of a chokehold on the clip of Green choking Gobert.

Fans react to Rogan’s commentary over viral moment

Fans of the UFC and the NBA are equally talented groups. So perhaps it was all for the better that they teamed up to create this hilarious mashup of both. As Green put Gobert in a chokehold, someone edited Rogan and his fellow commentators announcing a submission over the video. Here are fans reactions.

While some declared the tap out with Rogan. Others praised the edit.

Others could just not hold back their laughter.

This one fan was just too stunned to say anything.

Clearly, fans may have had a little too much fun with this one. However, will the consequences be too much for Green? If there are police charges pressed by Gobert, the player could put Green in a desperate condition. What do you think the organization and the players should have done? Is there a way to salvage the situation for the Warriors? Perhaps Rogan could give us some insight.
