Joe Rogan, the UFC commentator, is one of the nicest people in the industry. However, even he had a fair share of beef with the former three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen in the past.

Sonnen and Rogan have been in the sport for a long-time. They have watched the sport closely and are one of the best MMA analysts today. However, they crossed paths in 2018 because of their different thoughts on the self-proclaimed supervillain of the UFC Colby Covington.

‘Chaos’ is a heavy trash talker in the game. However, Covington has many times stated he keeps such a persona just to sell the fight. That said, Rogan lauded his ability to sell the fight via trash talk, which didn’t sit well with Chael Sonnen. Hence, it became a major reason for their beef.

In his podcast, Rogan said, “You know what’s really hilarious? Chael Sonnen is mad that I talked about what he (Colby Covington) does I go, he is having fun. I go, he is playing up the role of the villain and he is selling pay-per-views.”

“It’s so ridiculous. Meanwhile, he is giving up the secret of the business by talking about me giving up the secret of the business. It’s the dumbest sh*t of all time.” He added.

“My job is to call what I see. Even when I am promoting things, I am calling what I see. If I say Francis Ngannou is the most terrifying heavyweight contender ever. I say that because that’s what I see… I have to talk about the fact that someone’s talking sh*t to build up, but it doesn’t stop someone from talking sh*t.” Rogan concluded.

As aforementioned, Rogan has been with the sport for over a decade now. He has witnessed some of the greatest fighters in the promotion. One of them is the former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Rogan, in one of the episodes of his podcast, while discussing the Russian fighters in the UFC, lauded Khabib Nurmagomedov. He said, “There’s obviously Khabib, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who’s the G.O.A.T. He’s from Dagestan.”
