Joe Rogan is undoubtedly one of the most noted faces of the UFC. Rogan also has a keen interest in other combat sports happening all around the world. He often talks about his favorites of other combat sports apart from the UFC. On a two-month-old episode of his podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Rogan was all praises for the noted American submission grappler Gordon Ryan. In September 2022, Ryan went on to dethrone André Galvão to become the first wrestler in ADCC history to win titles in all three of his weight divisions.

Rogan even compared him to the BJJ Legend, Rickson Gracie at his peak. However, Conor McGregor’s former teammate and current Bellator star Dillon Danis wasn’t too appreciative of Joe Rogan praising Gordon Ryan.

Dillon Danis targeted Joe Rogan’s Instagram post

Joe Rogan took to Instagram to post about the recent trend of gluing hands to precious paintings. This was done in order to raise climate change awareness. Evidently, the former Fear Factor host was not impressed by this trend. He captioned his post, “This trend is so stupid that it makes me want to burn tires and boil the ocean”.

This post from Rogan garnered a lot of reactions, including from Conor McGregor’s ex-teammate Dillon Danis. He wrote, “something gordon would do”. 

It was evident that Danis wasn’t over his old scuffle with Gordon Ryan, which started back in their matchup in the ADCC World Grappling Championships.

Ryan was awarded a victory over Danis via decision in the bout. But Danis was unaccepting of this decision. This has been the reason for the feud build up between the two over years. In these situations, a noted figure like Joe Rogan providing such heavy compliments to Ryan was too much for Danis to accept.

Dillon Danis and Gordon Ryan have fired at each other over the years

Since their bout in 2017, both the noted names in grappling have gone on to deride each other. Danis faced the press in a 2019 interview, where he stated, “I’m an all-natural athlete, I’m not like these guys taking their special orange juice. I 100% think this is a problem. Gordon wouldn’t be able to compete if there was steroid test or any drug test“.

Ryan replied to his adversary, narrating a story on his Instagram about how Danis had begged for $20 from him.

He also wrote, “I just laughed and pulled out my camera, told him to smile so I could post about him on social media. This is the pose he gave me. Strange times in NYC“.
