***Joe Rogans blatantly obvious, and incredibly biased nature toward his preferred clientele may have once again placed him firmly on the controversial hot seat.
"They were leading fans to believe I lost the fight," was the statement made in a recent video posted by Ultimate Fighting Championships Lightweight contender Nate Diaz.
Diaz, who came out on the losing end of a close split decision this past Monday night at UFC Ultimate Fight Night 20—which was aired live on Spike TV—to fellow UFC top contender Gray Maynard, has posted a video on the website you-tube in which he strikes back, and calls " foul " on the two well known UFC commentators.
Diaz doesn't stop there either, he also "calls out" his opponent from Monday nights controversial match, and challenges him to come out and show his battle scars.
“If anybody sees Gray Maynard, tell him to show his face today and see how it looks,” an upset Diaz stated. “I got more landed strikes in that fight, and I threw more [strikes].”
“ He (Rogan) must’ve been judging it on the person who he liked better because obviously, as far as the commentary was concerned, everybody liked Gray,”
“If the fans want to go back and judge the fight for themselves, put the TV on mute, if you can.”
Diaz is now the second fighter to complain regarding Rogans obvious biased nature toward fighters he likes.
At UFC 104—when UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida successfully defended his title against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua—Rogan continuously credited Shogun for his offense, without once mentioning that Ruas kicks were being countered by Machidas straight left counter punching.
And as a result, the UFC 205 pound champion Machida urged his fans to also re-watch the unanimous decision, only this time on mute as well.
“The American commentators were pretty much biased."
"If you see the fight without audio, you will probably see a different fight,” Machida said. “Shogun was a great opponent and had a nice strategy. He deserves all my respect as a fighter, but I was superior.” ***
