Julianna Pena also talked about Rogan’s loyalty to the UFC, as he is still working with the promotion despite his other ventures. She said, “The fact that he still wants to do it, and that he’s still passionate about it, shows the kind of person he is, where his heart is and how loyal he is.”
“I admire that. There’s not anything bad that I can say about Joe. I think he’s a genuine, what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of person, and that’s a rarity in this day and age to see people who are no bulls**t.”
