The UFC middleweight champion will not tolerate any aggressions towards a UFC commentator.
Joe Rogan is currently one of the most well-known personalities in the United States. The UFC commentator, well-known comedian, and host of one of the most famous podcasts in the world (The Joe Rogan Experience), has divided the American people.
It all started after several people attended Joe Rogan’s coronavirus discussion. Neil Young, for example, thought it was a question of spreading misinformation about vaccines and COVID. If Spotify doesn’t remove Rogan’s podcast from its platform, Neil Young vows to take all of his music off the service. Around 270 scientists and medical professionals backed Young’s statement, which claimed that Rogan was “misrepresenting facts.” However, while Neil Young is less well-known than before, he is presently much more popular and watched/listened to than Rogan.
Joe Rogan’s opponents, as is often the case, began to employ unethical tactics, so a compilation of shows in which he used the term “ni***r” and other terms that may be linked with racism was published. While many people view him as a racist, the fact is that these programs have been freely available on the Internet for years, and no one has ever accused Rogan of racism until now, at least until he spoke out against quackery concerning epidemiological measures. Joe quickly apologized, calling his career’s most shameful moment thus far.
Of course, not everyone turned against him. At the absolute least, it is comparable to those who support him and openly express their support for him and his podcast. Dana White, the president of the UFC, was asked about the overall situation surrounding Joe Rogan at a pre-UFC 271 press conference. Nonetheless, Israel Adesanya, the UFC middleweight champion, stepped in before White could get on stage. He’s been on Joe Rogan’s podcast before and they’re buds. As a result, Adesanya didn’t miss out on an opportunity to demonstrate public support.
” First of all, let me say something about this. I am black and have the right to look back. There are a lot of assholes and snakes in this game. I have been in the world of martial arts since 2008, and Joe Rogan is one of the best, coolest, and most modest fuckers I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing. Understand that and catch all the noise. We all know what they want to do. You can’t control a man, he has the biggest platform in the world. That’s my ‘nigger’ Joe Rogan. It’s a noise! ”, Was the presentation of “Stylebender”, to the general delight of almost everyone present in the hall.

By the way, Joe Rogan will be in front of the commentator’s baton this weekend at UFC 271, and it will be the first time he has done so since public assaults on him began.
