Ex-UFC star Nate Marquardt is going after Joe Rogan for some of the claims he made regarding the Bible. The 44-year-old took offense to some of the statements Rogan made during an appearance on ‘Hot Boxin with Mike Tyson.’ The millionaire podcaster appeared on the former boxing heavyweight champion’s show almost a year ago.

Further, Rogan made similar claims on a JRE episode with Duncan Trussell, claimed Marquardt. He was analyzing and debunking Rogan’s claims on his own podcast titled ‘Fighting for Truth with Nate Marquardt.’

The 44-year-old ex-UFC star played a clip from an old JRE episode where Rogan was talking about the several translations that the Bible had gone through. To prove his point, Rogan took the example of the ‘translate’ button available on Instagram. He said it did not convey the exact meaning despite being a helpful feature.

Later, while talking to Mike Tyson, Rogan discussed the Bible again. He asked. “What were they trying to say? When it was written in ancient Hebrew and then they translated it into Latin, they translated it to Greek. When it was in ancient Hebrew what were they trying to say?”

Marquardt argued that Rogan’s idea was fundamentally flawed. He gave examples to prove his point and disprove Rogan’s claims.

‘The Great’ said, “I looked to find where this idea came from and I couldn’t really find anything. I found a lot of influencers like Joe Rogan have perpetuated this idea and it’s even been compared to a telephone game where you whisper something into somebody’s ear and they whisper that same thing into somebody else’s ear and it goes around the circle and when it gets back to you, it’s a completely different message.”

He continued, “I want to say first of all this is completely false. This is not how the Bible is translated. This is not how the Bible is transmitted. We translate directly from the original languages.”
