50 million dollars more than the previous contract which stood at 200 million dollars. Interestingly, ‘JRE’ will now be available on Spotify as well as YouTube, Amazon, and Apple. The new contract has a clause that states that Rogan has the immunity to venture into different realms. Previously, Rogan’s podcast was only exclusive to Spotify.

The Podcaster announced the news on his Instagram handle and thanked everyone who watched his podcast. “I would also like to sincerely thank all the people who enjoy the show. I feel insanely fortunate to have such a platform, and I absolutely love doing it. I also feel insanely fortunate to be able to have so many long, in-depth conversations with so many cool and interesting people, and it makes me happy as fuck to know so many people enjoy watching and listening.” said Rogan.

Will Conor McGregor fight in the ‘165’ lbs division?

Jon Anik suggests that if the UFC adds ͏a 165-pound division (super lightweight), Con͏or McGregor should vie for the title.͏ Despite Dana ͏White’s pas͏t denials, recent rumors hint ͏at͏ pote͏ntial chang͏es in the or͏ganizati͏on’s weight classes. Anik’s viewpoint adds in͏trigue to the ongoing discussions.

I do believe that after he gets through that next fight, ideally happening sooner rather than later against Michael Chandler, we’re looking at more super fights at 170 pounds. Not some sort of path to the championship. There has been some discourse recently, Malik, about maybe Leon Edwards’s next title defense happening at 175 pounds and the UFC opening up a 165-pound division. said Anik.

He further added “I haven’t heard that internally; I think that’s just rumor mill stuff. But if ever there were a time to do that and try to create a championship for Conor McGregor, granted he hasn’t won a fight in four years, maybe this would be the time to strike.”
