However, the way Rogan handled inside the octagon, post-fight, upset Blachowicz.
Why is Jan Blachowicz upset with Joe Rogan?
There are not many chances left for people to be mad at Rogan. After all, his job is to just interview the fighters after their matches. However, a lot of times, Rogan can be seen making comments about the fight. This may upset the fighter after they have got their head wrapped around the real world again. The same disappointment Blachowicz had with Joe Rogan.
In an interview with MMA fighting, the 39-year-old Polish fighter said he was not thinking straight after the fifth round of the fight. He also mentioned that since Ankalaev dominated the last round, he also thought that the opponent won it fair and square. Jan Blachowicz also confidently said that anybody who thinks his opponent won the match only watched the last round.
Talking about Joe Rogan, Blachowicz said, “Joe Rogan, when he stepped into the octagon, he said for him I lost the fight… He did a mistake that he say something like this to me after the fight,”
Blachowicz further complained, “Joe Rogan, he shouldn’t say something like this to me after the fight.” He also went ahead to quote Rogan, “‘that was a good fight but for me, you lost the fight.”
