Video After The Jump
UFC commentator Joe Rogan usually does not interview fighters in the ring immediately after they have been knocked out, because they are usually concussed and are not able to intelligently form an opinion on what just happened to them.
On Saturday, July 29, Rogan broke his own policy by interviewing a visibly shaken up Daniel Cormier, following his brutal knockout loss at the hands of Jon Jones at UFC 214.

After taking a night to reflect, Rogan issued an apology via his Twitter account.
"My apologies to @dc_mma and to all of you upset by my interviewing him after the fight. In all honestly I was kind of in shock," Rogan wrote. "I don't think I realized what I was doing until I actually had a mic in front of him. I've said I don't want to interview KO'ed fighters. And then I wound up doing it to someone I care a great deal about. D.C. Is a great man and the whole thing was surreal. I was beating myself up about it all last night. It'll never happen again. My apologies to D.C. And to all of you. Again, no one asked me to do it. It was 100% my fuck up. Like I said, I was kind of in shock."
