The hyperbole king of MMA was delivering his usual face-flushing, neck-vain-bulging, white-knuckle spiels cageside at the stacked event.
He spouted the usual palaver about 12-6 elbows, how Bellator gloves are superior and pretty much checked off all the key phrases in his Joe Rogan, UFC colour commentator handy phrase book.
However, Rogan seemed to embrace the vitriol he constantly receives for regurgitating hackneyed points during his commentary, as is evident with this gif.
To liven his spiel on what we can only assume was a speech hyping up either a fighter, an event or both, Rogan appeared to enter "hype mode" to the point where he looked like he was on the verge of self combustion. His changeable facial expressions left president Dana White befuddled.
I bet he slept like a big, shiny-headed baby that night.
