Joe Rogan shared a piece of advice with an MMA referee

UFC referee Mark Smith was nominated for the ‘Referee of the Year’ honor, which was won by Herb Dean, for this year’s Annual World MMA Awards. On the red carpet, he spoke to the media and revealed that UFC color commentator Joe Rogan once offered an important piece of advice when it comes to dealing with people making remarks online about some of the errors referees make when they are officiating fights. Smith said, “I had a talk with Joe Rogan a couple of years and he said, ‘Keep it simple.'”

Joe Rogan has been the king of the online space for a while. His experience dealing with such comments online is considerably different. As such, the 56-year-old advised Mark Smith to stay away from people who charge him with illogical criticism. “Some people are gonna give constructive criticism but some people that are going to give silly criticism or idiotic criticism, just gotta stay away from that,” said the UFC referee.
