The latter posed his opinion on the illegal knee strikes landed by McGregor in a fight. This take rubbed McGregor the wrong way, who took shots against the popular podcast host on Twitter.

Abdelaziz agreed with Rogan and wrote, “Joe didn’t lie you was cheating the whole fight grabbing the shirt, grabbing the gloves knee from the bottom and you still get your a*s whooped stop doing dr*gs.”

The popular manager pointed out several of Mystic Mac’s tricks against the undefeated Russian fighter. But, he also offered some words of advice to The Irishman about his ongoing USADA controversies.

Even Joe Rogan recently addressed McGregor’s controversy with USADA. And he couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that Conor McGregor could get out and back in the USADA pool effortlessly.

The Irishman had blasted Joe Rogan on Twitter

The JRE host and MMA analyst recently commented on McGregor’s illegal knee strike to the head. The Dubliner insulted Rogan over his opinion via a sarcastic voice note on Twitter.

Conor McGregor abused and mocked Joe Rogan for his observations. The confident Irish fighter backed himself against all accusations.

The Dubliner mocked, “‘That was an illegal knee on the head of a grounded opponent.”

“Shut up, Joe, you little fool, ye. What are you talking about, smash this and smash that?”

The former dual champion felt insulted to be accused of his moves in The Octagon. “What was smashed was my knee into his fkin’ eye socket, yeah? Sh*t… ‘That’s a knee to a grounded opponent!’ Call the cops! Fckin tick, ya.”

Thus, it would also be interesting to see what happens to Rogan and McGregor’s professional relationship.
