BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA: The UFC commentary crew of Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier, and Jon Anik will always have a special place in the hearts of MMA fans. Recently, the famed trio appeared in a viral meme providing another unforgettable moment while sitting cage-side at UFC events. The trio is regarded as one of the best in the business.
The three commentators have a special relationship with one another, which sometimes results in legendary and humorous reactions from them during fights. There is no shortage of such occasions with the UFC putting on compelling fights almost every weekend.
Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier, and Jon Anik's viral meme
While there are several examples of Rogan and his coworkers expressing surprise and awe at unexpected finishes or knockouts, one of the funniest moments, which also went viral online as a meme, occurred during the Beneil Dariush vs Drakkar Klose lightweight fight at UFC 248.
A Twitter user shared a video with the caption, "The reaction to @RoseNamajunas' KO needs an extended cut."
While Dariush desperately tried to secure a submission in the first round, the action really picked up in the second round. Both boxers rose up and circled the cage, throwing haymakers at each other. The Iranian-born American then landed a devastating left hand, effectively ending the fight.
When Drakkar Klose was knocked out, Cormier, Anik, and Rogan gave an all-time reaction, gasping for air and fighting to contain their emotions after seeing the dramatic knockout.
Another user shared the reaction of the trio, making it a meme. He wrote, "Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier's reaction to a knockout at UFC 248 last weekend was absolutely perfect."
'HE SAW A GHOST'
As the meme became viral, internet users took to Twitter to share their reactions. A user mocked Rogan's reaction. He wrote, "JOE LITERALLY LOOKED LIKE HE SAW A GHOST. A second user said, "The only thing Joe Rogan is good for at commentary are his facial expressions." A third wrote, "Do they practice those faces in the mirror? At first it was cool now it just seems contrived." One praised the trio saying, "The best combination on the panel."
