The headliner event of UFC 305 between Israel Adesanya and Dricus Du Plessis is just hours away, and Joe Rogan has swooped in with an announcement. The multi-million dollar podcaster has announced another special episode on his ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ and what’s that? Well, it’s a fight companion episode for the UFC 305. The night’s main event would feature the middleweight title defense and the return of the division’s former king. Regardless, the announcement faced mixed reactions from the MMA community.

Well, this fight companion episode of ‘JRE’ would feature former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub, Tony Hinchcillfe, and hilarious stand-up comic artist Brian Simpson. Joe Rogan recently revealed this lineup on his X handle, “We will be doing a fight companion tomorrow night for the @UFC. @Brendanschuab, @Tonyhinchcillfe and @bscomedian will be joining me live on @youtube”

For those who are confused, JRE Fight Companion is nothing but a tradition for Joe Rogan to have a special episode with his beloved friends where they sit down together and watch the live UFC events. It would not be wrong to state that the fans eagerly wait for the broadcast as it is filled with critical analysis as well as some funny moments from the guests. However, it might not be the same this time.

As soon as the announcement was made for UFC Perth, the MMA community took to the comment section to express their enthusiasm. Although some of the fans were pretty excited about witnessing their favorite stars break down the fights, others were a bit skeptical about Brendan Schaub. Regardless, let us have a look at what the fans are thinking about the show.

A fa͏͏n͏͏ ev͏e͏n c͏ommen͏͏ted on t͏͏his saying, “Tony and Schuab on the same podcast is crazy.“ However, this time things are a bit different as the MMA community, especially those who have been witnessing the Fight Companion for years, appear to be fed up with Sc͏haub, “Host it at the mothership so Schaub won’t come.”

Rogan’s Netflix special, ‘Burn The Boats’, witnessed some of the most controversial jokes from the stand-up in recent times. The multi-million-dollar podcaster joked about anything and everything. The fans had quite diverging opinions on the show. Regardless, a fan emphasized that Rogan stole some of Schuab’s jokes for his controversial Netflix montage, “Will Schuab bring up Joe stealing his joke from his career ending special?”

One of the most loved personalities that comes up on Joe Rogan’s podcast is stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, and according to the fans, he would be the star of the show “Tony is gonna carry this episode.” Furthermore, the fans appear to want to witness more of Eddie Bravo than Schuab, “Less schuab more of Eddie B”

Last but not least, more fans want to witness Eddie Bravo on the show, “Bring back Eddie Bravo f Brendan.”
