Not everything that Joe Rogan does is met with adulation and unanimous support. Sometimes fans and fighters can end up criticizing the UFC Icon. Back in late 2020, the veteran comedian found himself at odds with former UFC champion, Tito Ortiz. The Huntington Beach’s bad boy disliked Rogan’s migration to Texas.

Ortiz, being an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump, took aim at Rogan for leaving. In the latter stages of 2020, Ortiz dabbled into world politics and was even seen campaigning for a position. During one such excursion, he name-dropped Rogan and called him a ‘quitter’ for leaving California.

Ortiz said,” It’s important that we protect this city. This city is powerful to me and I am not leaving. You know, Joe Rogan and a bunch of other Hollywood guys, they left. You know what? I can’t say the word ’cause my children are here, but they are… they’re quitters, I refuse to be a quitter.”

The year 2020 marked a massive shift in Rogan’s life as the famous podcast host invited massive changes. He not only moved all the way to the center of the country but also signed an exclusive contract with Spotify. This deal saw him raking in over $200 million and turned him into one of the wealthiest podcast hosts on earth.

Joe Rogan outlined why he is leaving California

His reasons for leaving YouTube were quite obvious, but why did he leave California? The UFC commentator offered a rundown of all the reasons behind making this move and why he no longer wished to stay in Los Angeles.

He said,” I just want to go somewhere in the center of the country, somewhere it is easier to travel to both places, and somewhere where we have a little bit more freedom. Also, I think that where we live right here in Los Angeles is overcrowded and I think most of the time it’s not a problem.”
