Joe Rogan, who has been the face of the broadcast team ever since the inception of the UFC has been in a soup ever since a compilation of controversial clips surfaced on the internet.
Israel Adesanya resented the hate Joe Rogan has been receiving and condemned the wrath of cancel culture. When a reporter asked Dana White about the situation surrounding the world-famous podcaster, Izzy took over the mic and went on an epic rant standing by Joe Rogan and destroying the haters.
He went on to respond by saying, “Let me take this one, I’m black, I can take this one,” Adesanya said. “Look, there’s a lot of c—ts in this game, there’s a lot of snakes in this game. I’ve been in this fight game since 2008 and Joe Rogan is one of the nicest, coolest, most humble motherf—rs I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Understand that. And you know, f—k the noise, man. You know what they’re trying to do. You can’t control the man and he’s got the biggest platform in the world right now so that’s my n—a Joe Rogan. F—k the noise. Keep doing you, Joe. Have some mushrooms.”
Joe Rogan’s contribution has been instrumental in the success of the UFC and educating the fans about MMA as an art. It is not surprising to see the loyalty the fighters have showed towards Joe Rogan, who has given a huge number of fighters an opportunity to speak on his platform.
Brendan Schaub encourages comics to unite in their support for Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan has been part of the UFC ever since its inception and his voice is synonymous with UFC card perhaps. He grabbed the news for his vaccine-skeptical views on his podcast that enraged many. Famous singer Neil Young expressed his desire to quit Spotify if the platform does not take down the ‘The Joe Rogan Podcast’.
Freshly a compilation of his old videos have emerged of him using racial slurs on multiple occasions. This has added fuel to the fire and Spotify has taken down 70 episodes of the JRE without any statement.
Longtime friend and fellow podcaster Brendan Schaub has come out in Rogan’s defense urging the comedy community to stick together. He put out a tweet saying –
“I’ll do ya one better @Shanemgillis. If they cancel @joerogan every comic Rogan has ever helped should pull their podcast off Spotify. I’m down.”
