i don't do polls, i think they're a waste and ridiculous. just want to see what everyones opinion of these two are? do you like one better than the other? who's your favorite?
i was just watching an episode of ufc unleashed that got me thinking and while i think they're great together, mike goldberg is just awesome. his excitement for the sport and enthusiasm calling every match just pulls me right in. rogan's knowledge of the sport is incredible and his calm and collective announcing style is very smooth. they call each match with such insight and i can't get enough. of the two, i gotta go with goldberg's style over rogan. so what do you guys think?

I honestly think that both add to each other in a JR/King way.
It'd just feel wrong for Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan to commentate without each other. It's strange, but they've got their own unique chemistry going that always gets you into the match.
So, for me, it's neither, but that's only because I consider them to be two heads of the same beast so to say. I can't really judge them separately because I can't picture them commentating separately and still having that unique charm of theirs.
Also, I forget who Rogan was talking about, but to add to the Rogan quotes:
"Yeah, he's got some seriously thick legs. If he was a girl, they would say he has a badunkadunk"

I honestly wouldfeel strange if Joe or Mike ever left the UFC commentator spot. When Ken Flo replaced Rogan at UFC 82, it was a bit strange.

I think they need each other. During that stretch without Rogan, things just seemed a little off. They compliment each other so well, I can't choose.

I think Mike is a bit too excited and tends to just repeat exactly what Joe says at times..but I do think they both have a certain chemistry that makes you excited about the fight. I would still go with Rogan though

"He's saying something in Japanese to him Joe"
"Yeah uhh, they're from the Philippines Mike..."
"Oh"
"...isn't your wife Japanese?"
"Yes, that she is Joe...ROUND NUMBER 2!"
I also love Mike Goldberg calling Jens Pulver - "Little Eagle" and Joe just laughing.

They each bring something specific and needed. Goldberg is good for analysis, and has a good commentating voice. Rogan adds a lot to the mix because he understands mixed martial arts, and his enthusiasm goes a long way toward getting listeners emotionally invested.

Both. Just read these:
Joe Rogan: "Think of leg kicks as like in a video game. The more they take, their power goes right down." Goldberg: "I know what you're thinking, mighty ball mighty ball DEEP DEEP DEEP!" Joe Rogan: *Does best to ignore that and continue talking about the fight*
Mike Goldberg: "He's got him in some kind of strange choke I've never seen before!" Joe Rogan: "That's a rear naked choke."
Joe Rogan: "Karo is wide open!" Mike Goldberg: "Diaz smells the opening."
Mike Goldberg: "You can hear the corner speaking portuguese!" Joe Rogan: "Uh, that's Japanese, brother" Mike Goldberg: "I should have known that." Joe Rogan: "You're the one married to a Japanese chick." Mike Goldberg: "That is correct."
Frank Shamrock: "Ohhhh huge knee!" Mike Goldberg: "Big knee!" Frank Shamrock: "That was a huge knee!" Mike Goldberg: "That knee was big!"
UFC 68 Goldberg: "Welcome back, Randy Couture. This fight brought to you by..." Sylvia gets knocked down in the first 8 seconds* Rogan: "Big right hand! Sylvia is down!" Goldberg: "...Shooter. Starring Mark Wahlberg in theatres next Friday."
UFC 76 Machida vs. Nakamura Mike Goldberg: "And here is Nakamura...entering the octagon for the 1st time...touching the fence for the first time." Joe Roganlaughs)"You running out things to say?" Mike Goldberg: "Yeah. Kinda(laughs). You? You know, you could help out and chime in once in a while..."
UFC 79 Sokoudjou Vs. Machida Mike Goldberg: "Because SOAKoudjou is so highly touted, you almost want to sit back and watch and SOAK it in."

I like both men really. Mike can be a bit of a dork, but I want him there more than I do Joe really; I have become attached to him. I'll be thinking things and then I'll hear Joe say what I'm thinking. They both really love MMA and it can be exciting to feel their excitement - they really add to things.

Best MMA commentating group out there for me. I do like Kenny when he commentates once in awhile, Randy "Baby Voice" Couture should stay away though.
