Joe Rogan is currently one of the most popular personalities in the world of MMA and UFC, largely thanks to his commentary skills and also his podcast. He recovered from the virus last year and since then spread a lot of misinformation about the virus, at least according to numerous doctors and various other people. A UFC girl also wanted Joe Rogan to pick her up previously.
Rogan previously opened up on the episodes of his podcast that featured Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCullough. They were the most controversial ones. Eventually, Joe Rogan became a controversial figure due to him using the n-word and other racial slurs in the past. It led to him getting cancelled for a while and losing deals as well. Except for Spotify, who stood by him for the most part except for deleting several of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast episodes.
During a recent interview with Adam22 on the ‘No Jumper’ podcast, Rampage Jackson explained that he had a tense exchange with Rogan during his days fighting in the UFC and has therefore never been invited on ‘JRE’.
He said: “We had one thing. Joe and I, we’ve always been cool, right? But then, after a couple of fights in the UFC, he noticed that I wasn’t checking leg kicks and that I wasn’t throwing a lot of leg kicks.
“He got real forceful about it and with social media, I had a lot of MMA fans talking about ‘Man, you don’t know how to kick, you don’t know how to check leg kicks.’ And it just got annoying, right?
“So, I stepped to Joe. Like, ‘Joe, man, why are you saying all this s*** about me not knowing how to kick and not checking leg kicks?’
“We had like a few words and stuff and I did say something kind of bad. I got tired of people constantly talking s*** about me.
Rampage added: “I tell them, ‘Watch the UFC turning the volume down’.”
“It’ll be a different fight because of color commentators. You know how that started off? With radio. They would paint the picture of the fight for you.
“Joe can be kind of biased sometimes, you know, against like jiu-jitsu, guys. He loves jiu-jitsu guys and sometimes I watched the fight and I turn it down a little bit then I get a different view of the fight.”
