"Joe Rogan is a good announcer in my opinion, but he is only exlplaining because too many UFC fans still don't know what the hell is going on."
My point exactly. Previous fans may know whats going on, but any succesful biz needs its new customers to understand whats happening. Most non fans think these guys are just rolling around on the ground holding each other, failing to understand the skill and technique involved with the ground game. Plus Rogan is a funny fucker and makes some funny faces when he does commentary in front of the camera between fights or when he interviews the fighters after the fight. I swear he's high most of the time and his shirts kill me.

Trigg is pretty good at explaining what 's happening. But you are right, if the consumer doesn't know hat is happening, it is good for someone who does.
Case in point, I went to the AFC 19 before catching PRIDE on the TV. During one of the fights at the AFC, one of the fighters had the other in a triangle, and everyone thought it was over. But what most of them didn't notice was the trapped arm was not in front of him, and was off to the side holding their shorts. Without their arm in front of them while being traingled, the choke is useless, as that arm is used to choke the blood from reaching the brain from that side.
When I told that to my Chirpractor friends, they made the comment, "It's those little things that you wouldn't know unless you trained". Which is true, and while Joe is a great announcer, I don't think technically he is beter than Trigg, or even Mauro for that matter.
