Episode number #1554 saw the duo talk about a wide range of things and even broke down the public hate West faces. The UFC commentator’s interaction with the rapper caused him to change his perspective. However, the UFC middleweight contender, Sean Strickland, doesn’t believe anything West says.

‘Tarzan’ Strickland shared a clip from the podcast where Rogan praised the rapper for being different from the world. He also claimed that the West is misunderstood and often the ideas that spring out of his mouth confuse the world.

Strickland attacked the UFC icon and claimed that the rapper was quite detached from reality. He could not understand how Rogan believed the words West said and even dubbed him as ‘Absolutely Insane.’ 

The aforementioned clip made it quite clear that West has earned a fan in Joe Rogan, as he backed the rapper. Unlike ‘Tarzan’, MMA fans had a different reaction to the matter.

Fans quickly hopped on the thread to share their thoughts about the verbal rant. The micro-blogging website has hosted many rants of the middleweight fighter, and this one was no different.

While some users backed the UFC fighter, others wished to see him make an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience.

Another user pondered whether he was actively preparing for his fight against the rising mixed martial artist and world champion kickboxer, Alex Pereira. The kickboxer holds not one but two victories over current middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.

Other fans argued that MMA’s ground game will prove to be too much for ‘Paotan’.

Fans of Kanye West backed the rapper and corrected the MMA fighter for misunderstanding him. This user stated that the West is regarded as the biggest icon for good reason.

Another fan suggested that both Rogan and West earned their keep and didn’t accept any handouts.
