The reason behind the ‘No’ of Joe Rogan
The MMA community loves Rogan as the UFC commentator. Although, the 56-year-old has made it clear that he is not someone who prefers to stick just to the role of a commentator. Rogan has broadened his horizons by taking on the roles of a stand-up comedian and a podcaster. However, it is not his other responsibilities that make it difficult for Rogan to take up the international events hosted by the promotion. Rogan does not take up international events mainly because he does not want to stay away from his family for more than three days.
