Joe Rogan's blatantly obvious and incredibly biased nature toward his preferred clientele may have once again placed the UFC commentator firmly on the hot seat.

"They were leading fans to believe I lost the fight," was the statement made in a recent video posted by UFC lightweight rising contender Nate Diaz, who came out on the losing end of a close split decision this past Monday night at UFC Ultimate Fight Night 20.

The cagefighting event—a sport which is growing rapidly in popularity—was aired live on ****e TV, with Diaz losing a rematch to fellow Ultimate Fighter reality show alumni and UFC top contender Gray Maynard.

Diaz has posted a video today on the popular Web site YouTube.com in which he lays the partial blame for his misfortune on well-known UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg.

Diaz doesn't stop there, either; he also "calls out" his opponent from Monday night's controversial match, challenging him to come out and show his battle scars.

“If anybody sees Gray Maynard, tell him to show his face today and see how it looks,” an upset Diaz stated. “I got more landed strikes in that fight, and I threw more [strikes].”

“He (Rogan) must’ve been judging it on the person who he liked better, because obviously, as far as the commentary was concerned, everybody liked Gray.

“If the fans want to go back and judge the fight for themselves, put the TV on mute, if you can.”

Diaz is now the second fighter to complain regarding Rogan's obvious biased nature toward fighters he likes.

At UFC 104—when UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida successfully defended his title against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua—Rogan continuously credited Shogun for his offense, without once mentioning that Rua's kicks were being countered by Machida's straight left counter-punching.

And as a result, the UFC 205-pound champion Machida urged his fans to also re-watch the unanimous decision, only this time on mute as well.

"The American commentators were pretty much biased," Machida told Sherdog.com.

"If you see the fight without audio, you will probably see a different fight. Shogun was a great opponent and had a nice strategy. He deserves all my respect as a fighter, but I was superior.”

Authors note: I see that Nate has taken his video down—my apologies. I hope from the above text you can get the "crux of the matter."

Nate is right. Rogan was sucking Grays dick hard. Machida is an idiot. The american commentaters where biased towards Shogun because of what? They're both from Brazil....

Shogun beat Machida, i watched it in Korean and i still gave it to Shogun.
Nate shouldn't complain, he didn't do **** for three rounds. He just caressed Maynard's gloves( just like Gray did to him). the whole fight.

Yeah, the guy who landed more punches and did more damage has no right to complain about losing a decision...

Nate did won the last round clearly but didn't secure the two horribly boring first rounds. He had a bad performance; he should be ashamed of it.
I agree that the UFC commentators were on Maynard's dick but both looked like **** in this fight. Their tuf fight showed more talent than that.

Rogan was biased but he didn't influence the judges. Nate needs to learn how to punch with more authority.

The problem with that theory is the fans in attendance at the Shogun vs Machida fight booed the decision. Presumably they couldn't hear Rogan during the fight ergo the theory dies.

Exactly. **** Diaz, he's a loser just like his brother.

Rogan is real biased, but still it's not like Joe cost him the decision it's the judges he should be mad at

Nate doesn't even mention the judges, he said Rogan swayed the fans, who where at home, watching that snoozefest on TV. He doesn't even say Joe caused him to lose the fight, Where OP got that statement from is beyond me...

Agreed. What Rogan says has nothing to do with how the fight is judged

Nate needs to learn how to punch with more authority.

Impossible. Nate has no power whatsoever.

Plus Nate ain't a striker, he and his bro have the same style in striking and that isn't gonna change. BTW, Nate took this one, from round 2 forward, his reach was pestering Maynard and his combos beat Grey's over hand right and the occasional right hook to the punch.

Hey Nate. You fought in VA.

That's why you lost.

You might be right but with the way he was punching he's not really giving himself much of a chance of generating any power either. Most of his punches seemed to be little more than taps. But it has worked well enough for him and is evidently rather awkward for the opponent to figure out.

Nate beat Gaytard but it was a close fight

Machida on the other hand lost his fight considerably.

its because hes tryng to fight like nick way too much instead of doing his own thing....both of their striking is rediculous expecially when they do the freeze thing when they miss...but nick has been able to work it better...nate needs to stop leaning back because its taking all of the power away from his strikes and he needs to plant his feet and he could have hurt maynard
