56-year-old Joe Rogan was not present at the UFC 294 pay-per-view event. He was replaced by Paul Felder in the commentary team. However, Rogan has been making it big with the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’. His multimillion-dollar podcast, which is known to fans for having some of the most interesting discussions with people from various walks of life, has reclaimed the top spot in the US charts.
Moreover, a few days ago, Joe Rogan’s podcast was dethroned from the top spot by ‘Hot Mess with Alex Earle’. But the 56-year-old’s show bounced back to get back to the top once again. He has continued to keep his viewers and listeners engaged even after completing more than 2,000 episodes. We will have to wait and see if any other podcast can come close to Rogan’s in the near future.

Jon Jones shares P4P top spots with Islam Makhachev
When ‘Bones’ made his comeback at UFC 295 after a three-year hiatus, he dominated Ciryl Gane, to win the heavyweight title in dominating fashion. Moreover, the promotion even placed him at the top of the pound-for-pound rankings. However, now he is closely followed by lightweight champion Islam Makhachev after the latter’s recent win in Abu Dhabi.
Islam Makhachev put to bed all doubts surrounding his UFC 284 fight against Alexander Volkanovski. The Australian took the Dagestan native to his limit, which led people to think that Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s protégé may not be as good as they first thought.
However, Makhachev’s knockout victory over Volkanovski at UFC 294 last weekend removed all the doubts. It even earned him the #2 spot in the UFC’s P4P rankings. Moreover, this development took place just days after he took a shot at Jon Jones’s P4P status.
