Several people debate about the earth being flat rather than a sphere. It is a never-ending debate consisting of people who believe in one of the most curious conspiracies available on the internet. UFC color commentator Joe Rogan revealed his thoughts on the reason why people believe that theory in a recent episode of the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’. 

Joe Rogan is known for his topics of conversation with various guests. He has discussed the flat earth theory several times on his million-dollar podcast. Howie Mandel joined the 55-year-old podcast in the #1971 episode of JRE as Rogan explained why people think that the earth is flat.

Joe Rogan’s views on flat-earthers

The famous UFC commentator believes that people believe the flat earth theory for the fun of it. He said, “Cos’ it’s fun. It’s fun to think you know things that other people don’t know.” He added, “It’s fun to think that everybody else is a sheep and that you understand the firmament that there is this glass cover. The stars are just light in the sky [and] earth is the center of everything, God’s in control of the whole ride.”

Rogan adds that the mystery of the universe is a vast one. He believes that people are yet to understand the magnitude of the size of the universe. And He states that it is strange to believe in the flat earth theory after all the research that scientists have carried out for years. “The idea that they’re all [flat-earthers] in on this like we’re in a fishbowl.” 

Rogan received a call out from a UFC fighter for a flat earth theory debate

Joe Rogan’s opinions on flat-earthers drew a negative response from UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell. ‘Thug Nasty’ believes that the earth is flat and claims to be able to prove it. He called out the 55-year-old for a debate on this topic. Mitchell responded to Rogan in a video on social media claiming that he and his mother are tired of the 55-year-old podcast host.

Mitchell also slammed Rogan for driving people away from “the holy spirit” due to his opinions. He refuses to believe in the big bang theory no matter what the scientists or experts have to say. However, Joe Rogan has not responded to ‘Thug Nasty’s callout. Mitchell is also set to feature in an upcoming documentary which will be based on the flat earth theory. He posted about it on his Instagram page.
