During a conversation on the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) podcast with guest, Cameron Hanes, Rogan showcased his support for McGregor’s lavish lifestyle! While Hanes was doubtful of the impact it might have on McGregor’s performance inside the Octagon, the podcast host highlighted the fact that the Irishman had “earned every f*king penny.”
