Music sharing platform Spotify removed many editions of UFC commentator Joe Rogan’s podcast, i.e. The Joe Rogan Experience. However, members of the MMA community didn’t find it particularly fair and initially criticized fighters, especially from the UFC, for not taking a stand against the accusations.
That being said, several fighters showcased their support for Joe Rogan on Twitter.
Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar tweeted, “I’ll take Joe Rogan over all these bozos!”
