The Ultimate Fighting Championship just got done with its second pay-per-view of 2022, UFC 271. It was a massive event with some huge fights on the card. The PPV in ‘The Lone Star State’ saw some spectacular upsets and knockouts. It was a sold-out event and did a $4.3 million gate as well. Everything worked for the UFC, but still, there was someone missing from the event.
Long time UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, was the notable absentee. He was supposed to be on the commentary team, but dropped out because of a scheduling conflict. Michael Bisping came in as his replacement. However, in the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White refuted the claim and revealed Rogan could’ve worked the night.
He said, “There’s no conflict of schedule. Joe Rogan didn’t work tonight. Joe Rogan coulda worked tonight… I don’t know what Joe Rogan had to do. You guys will have to ask Joe Rogan. But, there was no Joe couldn’t work or anything like that. I know that came out. It’s total b*lls**t.”
