He seems more like a Joey here than the Joe we all know today
For real!
⛷ ❄️
Haha yup
@@justin-jq9jz he's never done coke
@@justin-jq9jz you've never even tried it either lol
That other guy knew he was losing his spot 😂
Hahaha yes! No charisma at all compared to Joe.
I was expecting them to brawl out of nowhere haha
the pan 😂😂
@@garymct6860 im dying lol. His face says it all
seriously 😂
Joe knew that a growth of the UFC was entirely possible.
It really just boils down to high level problem-solving with dire physical consequences
He was paying attention to the literature
🤣
"One.....huuuundred percent!"
Possible? Inevitable
This guy should have a podcast
Id love to EXPERIENCE that.
@@darkallyrecordings4931 ok bud, barg off
@@BillBagBargensonsBarger there’s an “English” translation for your comment and it reads “ok bud, leaf off” 😂😂
@@maxquintana3902 Lol
@sizeXLbargby it's been 8 months and you still suck😂😂😂
Joe was the host of Fear Factor, one of the highest rated shows on tv at the time and did his first ufc commentary for free.
literally everyone knows this
he did the first 12 shows free actually
@@a1d5 I didn’t as I’m from UK
Oh wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing
all he asked for in return was tickets for his friends
Joe Rogan’s love for MMA is unmatched
@@Overeasyeggsoee Coaches? Pshh, who cares what those experts think /s
@@Overeasyeggsoee I wouldn't say except. He is a former state/national taekwondo champion and ex-instructor, bjj blackbelt, kicks so hard the GOATs admire it, watched more fights/talker to more fighters than fighters themselves and continues training hard well into his 50s
This just isn’t true at all , it’s actually matched by hundreds to thousands of fighters . And a couple million fans . A lot of die hard fans of this sport out there , he just got the opportunity of a lifetime to be a part of it lol
Only matched by his fear of grizzlies
Dana white ring a bell?
Young Brendan Schaub somewhere agreeing for no reason
🤣
100% 😉
@@ashleybryant305 ohhhh 100% - Brendan Schaub
LOL
😂
*The passion in his voice*
In his high pitched voice
The other guy was like is this my replacement?
And the camera never panned back left again…😂
Bro when the camera turned, his fate was sealed.
Let’s be honest the “here we go” from Goldy will always be legendary!! Him and Joe called the craziest moments in UFC
"And it's all over "
Dude amount of Idiots that commented "That guy knows joe is his replacement." know nothing about Mike and What he did for the sport, his Voice is more iconic than Joes. and the way Zuffa Screwed his exit. he deserved so much more, thank you for showin him love.
@@justineseman3741 absolutely, his voice from the start of the bell to a crazy KO hyped up everything much more. Real fans know his importance
@ic2014 Tonight's fights are brought to you by Corn Nuts! Corn to the core!
@@ZombieRommel STG, just the guy there for the sponsor throw ins.
If anyone is curious like I was, the fight he’s so excited for is Chuck Liddell versus Vitor Belfort
Adda boy.
@@teo5836Shut up
you're a hero, bro, thanks
Oh man. Can't blame him
2022: Joe Rogan 2002: Joey Tribbiani
😂😂😂😂
"literally I don't care about any other sport. The Lakers just won their third championship the other day and I couldn't care less. They could make basketball illegal and it wouldn't even bother me." LMAO
LeBron James : hold my beer
leGBTQ
Facts
yup thats what he said, good job.
@@abcbizarre yup and I repeated it bc I thought it was funny :)
His voice and accent are so much different now wow
The juice works wonders
@@ethanmahon4118 I was just 🤔 that
TRT will do that to ya
@@kushgaming3853 yea and also the fact he prolly has more test in his body today than he did back in 2002
@@kushgaming3853 voices get higher in age normally not deeper and for sure not gorillalike
I started watching UFC full time 4 years AGO and I have not cared about any other sports either. UFC IS LIFE
MMA is definitely the best sport, football is a close second but it’s getting worse because of corruption
I'm hoping a promotion comes along and crushes the Ultimate Fighting Circus.
UFC isn't a sport my man.
ufc is not the sport...
You're a UFC fan, you're not a MMA fan
Vintage Joe is gold
That poor guy in the middle had no idea he was about to get dumped forever.
seems like an absolute tool tbh... he should've known
@@MREDZ Tools are dumb. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't see it coming.
Other dude looking at Joe like he bout to get his final pay check
It always amazes me how people had this chill phase of just being there. Now with phones it's like you can't just look around and feel normal
You can clearly see the other guy is very concern LMAO his eyes don’t lie 😂🤣😂
I can confirm that Joe is a big fan of MMA. I’ve heard him talk about it once on his podcast show.
Anyone remember the cool music and the Roman gladiators on the intro?
ah yes the tale of the tape glory days
😢
I miss Joe and Mike together a lot man. So many amazing moments with those two.
Guy in the middle was trying to knock joe down, joe just kept being himself 😂😂
nice catch
Joe is freaking awesome
Yeah he had the passion to become the GOAT he's now.
Time truly flys. It’s insane. As a kid you don’t care because you have all the time in the world, it’s all in front of you and the things your parents or whoever say go in one ear and out the other-you are invincible in youth. Then one day you wake up and realize you are saying exactly what your parent said about time and age and it felt like only yesterday you were 15 as you look at your 45 year old face in the mirror. Seeing videos like this always reminds me of that reality that we all face. AND IT SUCKS!!!
Joe literally did the job for free because he wanted to have one side tickets. Dude super passionate and it hurts me to see how many people don't like this commentary anymore the Joe is a legend sport
Who doesn’t like his commentary
his commentary isn't that great. he has great sounds during big moments but the commentary feels kind of bleh like the ESPN basketball analysts
I feel like I need to see this fight and I don’t even know who’s fighting…
Chuck Lidell vs Vitor Belfort
@@Pooreditz Chuck won that night. It's interesting actually. Vitor is boxing now and doing pretty good thanks to his TRT and steroids. Chuck on the other hand looks like he's completely punch drunk and can barely walk straight.
Young Jamie made a deal written in blood that he will pull up everything at lightning speed in exchange for Joe's hair and his firstborn son.
Young Jamie is bald 👨🦲
@@Roberto-de8xv is he actually
@@Roberto-de8xv he looks exactly how I thought he would 😂😭
So genuinely passionate… it paid off
I miss these days.
"If they made basketball illegal, it wouldn't even bother me." Agreed
He seems like a cool guy, he should do a podcast some time and maybe it’ll get a Spotify deal.
Congratz Joe to a 20 year career in UFC commentary. Would not be the same without you.
2002 how i wish i can go back
Love what you do and you have a much better chance of finding success! Ask Joe.
Joe : Tyson vs Lewis is tonight and I couldn't care less Also Joe when he sees tyson : Wow you're my idol man, I watched your every fight since I was a kid
Im sure he TiVo’d the Tyson fight
Lying for promo lol
He didn’t say that….he said that this fight felt bigger than that fight. He said he didn’t care about basketball…which I agree.
Thats not what he said. Youre making claims as if we didnt watch the video
prove it@@sherpaderpdingo3405
The two best commentary guys in the world
UFC isn’t what it is today without Joe his enthusiasm definitely helped grow it !! The commentary he does gets people so excited for the fights !
Lol his voice before he started to use TRT 😂😂
Literally the same voice, when you get old your voice just gets raspier. Jesus Christ drop your tinfoil hat.
Exactly
...that's why he got the job...he's us...all he needs is the "Just Bleed" paint...
It’s awesome how he truly just loves MMA this much
“JUST LIKE THAT!” Man I miss goldy sometimes
Roe Jogan before Steroids and DMT filled his body
He's not on steroids
@@philo2189 he's talking about the TRT.
@@philo2189 Yes he is
@@viniciusbaeta7997 no he's not
@@learnedeldersofteemo8917 that's not steroids that athletes use to cheat that's a completely different kind of steroid that's fda approved and it's used for treatment.
He has become so much more Californian.
Texan now
@@TehUltimateSnake Texafornian
I wish we all could be half this happy in our jobs
I would love to see more clips like this
Fear was not a factor for Joe.
He still does that crazy scream with that face
And a legend was born!
The man's energy is unmatched 🏆
Strange seeing Joe with “normal”‘sized arms and not covered in green tattoos 😂
yeah also normal sized head and even kinda gracile looking body and facial features
"If they made bball illegal it wouldn't even bother me" lmao I felt that.
Only thing worse is baseball
@@mr.anderson9938 nah, assball is def worse
I wish Joe was still this passionate about the UFC
Ah back when Joe was young and none of us could stand him ❤ simpler times
“If they made basketball illegal it wouldn’t even bother me”
but still no love for goldy
My fav Goldie moment was after he flubberred his first and only NFL game and then went berserk on his haters over twitter. Class act
Anik is significantly better
Jesus CHRIST he looks sooooooo young. And I grew up watching him on fear factor, stand up, ufc here and there, u name it…years down the line he became JOE one day and he’s just such a big brand now it’s insane
Bro is so happy
It's so sad what happened to this man... For those who don'r know, he got stung by a bee in the stomach and now have to live the rest of his days with palumboism and baldness. _Like_ _if_ _you_ _cry_ _every_ _time._
Lmfao nice
Don’t get old
Pretty sure he’s laughing all the way to the bank bud
Honestly Joe still has the same love when commentating 20 years later about the sport.
20 years later and still passionate as ever
Damm his voice changed so much now
This event was UFC 37.5 "As Real As It Gets" with Chuck Liddell vs Vitor Belfort main event idk why i remember it but ya weve come long way😂
Young joe was AWESOME
Charisma and passion are a deadly combo
Now this is passion and it's beautiful.
Joe is a national treasure .. of Malarke
Joe's evolution is crazy
Having passion for something gives you a lot of potential for growth
That voice!!!!
Quite possibly the only person who puts April Fool’s up there with Christmas and Birthdays
I remember this as well, love it when joe calling the fights
The look on the other guys face as the camera pans away 😂
an absolute legend was born.
confident young man. knows he could knock just about anyone out.
Joe looks so much better now than when he was younger 👏👏💪💪
Classic! Good times man! I remember this sheeeit man!
Joe rogans enthusiasm sounds so similar even with age and his love for the sport
Don’t you love it when as a football fan the commentary can make you feel as if your there 🤩🤩
You cannot be good at something that you don't love, this man loves doing this and he is a smart man who puts time in. The rest is history
Old Joey is so nostalgic
Passion. When he leaves ufc it will never be the same
Joe with the hair! Reminds me of News Radio
How exciting! I’m with ya Joe! LFG my man!
He ia A certified Legend, Love Joe Man...
“our old sideline guy“ dude knew joe was a threat and still didn’t stand a chance 😂
He was a stud then.. and he’s a stud now
Whoa! 2002!? These were the golden years. I was in high school and the UFC had a really bad rep due to the violence that was never before seen on mainstream television. I can’t believe this was over 20 years ago!
this was also the first time "as real as it gets" was used in UFC context
Him & Goldberg kept me on my toes listening to them react to crazy fights & finishes. Their energy for the sport will never be matched.
Joe was wilding for the UFC
And he has the same amount of love for the sport today that’s awesome
His bone structures change Joe's super juiced
super? he's not that big
man the promotion really grew
His voice is so high. Crazy
Robbie Lawler was on that card and is still actively fighting in the UFC today. Wild yo!
Idk why but this instantly put a smile on my face
He’s more jacked now than back then.
