Rogan is one of the most prominent names in the MMA industry today. However, apart from working as a UFC commentator, Rogan also worked as a standup comedian. The 54-year-old is very vocal when it comes to sharing his thoughts. However, this has backfired on him several times.

During his Netflix special in 2016, Rogan took a jibe at Caitlyn Jenner, her daughters, and the Keeping Up With the Kardashian show. While talking about Caitlyn Jenner, Rogan said, Here’s my take on this Bruce Jenner thing and you know everybody has their own, not really.”

“This is what everybody’s take is. This is the take you supposed to have. He’s always been a woman trapped in a man’s body. Maybe, definitely maybe. Definitely, people are like that. Definitely, there are people who are born in the wrong gender, and am I saying they should stay in their gender,” he added.

“No, who gives a f**k. You should do whatever you want to do. You should be happy, you should be free. I don’t care what you do. But it’s also possible that maybe if you live with crazy bit*hes long enough, you become one. That’s all I am saying.” Rogan concluded.
