Rogan also included the topic of IVs in the discussion as he stated, “I think it’s good that the UFC did something[about testing], but I think, ultimately, what they did is a little bit of overkill. And it just like, particularly the IV’s for rehydration. I just don’t- I know that they’re saying that it can mask performance-enhancing drugs”.

He continued, “Test them before they get an IV. This way is to test. Like, it’s healthier for the fighter that has an IV.” A lot of fans might actually agree with Rogan’s views in this regard.
