UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently took to Instagram and revealed that he had contracted COVID-19. He wanted to let his fans know that he is well on the road to recovery. Recently, Chael Sonnen released a video jokingly requesting Rogan give him his iconic black shirt if the podcaster succumbs to COVID-19.
Sonnen stated:
“Joe Rogan, thoughts go out to you. And, guys, Joe Rogan got COVID. He made this very public. Joe has a bit of an iconic black shirt; solid black. He’s called shows in it. It’s fitted, larger in the chest, made for big arms, kind of tight around the waist. I don’t want anything to happen to Joe. (But) if…If something happens, that shirt, Joe, can I have it?”
