On Thursday morning, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan took to Instagram to praise Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Yancy Medeiros for their thrilling scrap at UFC Austin – a card he was off-duty for. Rogan, like many, was blown away by the respect the two welterweights showed each other during this brief but exciting battle.
While Rogan seemed to adore this fight and the respect between Cerrone and Medeiros, however, welterweight star Nick Diaz wasn’t so sure about what he saw in the cage in Austin. Buried in the hundreds of comments on Rogan’s post, Diaz chimed in with an emoji that made his thoughts on the matter abundantly clear.
