The 54-year-old is one of the most influential personalities in combat sports. This is because of his widely heard podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Life Experience’ on Spotify. Rogan is an outspoken personality. He without any hesitation discusses various topics, including science, medicine, and entertainment, on his podcast with famous people.

On the most recent episode of his podcast, Rogan, along with the former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett, talked about the Oscar incident. At a point in the conversation, Barnett explained how a person can get into financial and legal troubles for such an act.

However, Rogan interrupted him and stated that such things won’t happen with the famous Hollywood actor. He said, “That’s not gonna happen here. It’s never gonna happen. He just smacked him. He didn’t beat the sh*t out of him, he didn’t harm him.”
