Joe Rogan has been in the UFC since 1997 and has created a place for himself in the hearts of mixed martial arts fans. However, the podcast host has also received flak for some of his comments while at the desk. In a similar instance, Rogan’s comments about Max Holloway at UFC 276 received backlash.
One user shared his view on Twitter. He wrote, “When Joe Rogan said “one thing Max doesnt get enough credit for: his chin” I immediately went to a mirror to check whether the left side of my face had dropped, convinced the only way I could have actually heard that was if I was having some kind of stroke or aneurysm”
