Joe Rogan has divided fans with his opinions and views. While some have criticized him, there are people who support him as well. The UFC commentator and host of the Joe Rogan Experience (one of the most popular podcasts in the world) recently got involved in another issue.

Rogan, in many of his previous episodes, has talked about COVID-19 and divided listeners. Multiple doctors and scientists recently signed a petition, asking Spotify to establish a clear and public policy to “moderate misinformation on its platform.”

However, according to UFC President Dana White, it’s crazy that people are trying to cancel Rogan. In an appearance on Full Send Podcast, he said, “It’s crazy, right? I know they had come out and said there were like 200-250 doctors and whatever. I guess when they started researching these people, they weren’t really doctors. Apparently not.”

“You’re not canceling Rogan. And the thing is with Rogan, he’s a brilliant guy, he does his homework and he knows what he’s talking about. And guess what, this is f**king America and you can have your opinion about these things and you can voice them. That’s what this f**king country was built on. And all these little whiny, f**king p**sies that don’t like it, too f**king bad man, too bad,” he added.

Joe Rogan will return to commentary at UFC 270

While Rogan continues to be in the news for his podcast, he also has another thing to look forward to. The veteran commentator, who only appears in numbered PPVs in America, will return to desk duty on January 22 at UFC 270.

The event, marking the UFC’s return to California, will see two huge title fights (Francis Ngannou vs Ciryl Gane & Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno).
