Though the news is exciting by itself, the poster of Rogan’s post – a classic Michael Jordan ’23’ Jersey with Rogan carrying a ball that appears to be a globe and flying/jumping in the night sky – caught people’s attention.

Jordan’s Jersey ’23’ remains one of the most significant jerseys in NBA history. Chicago Bulls & Miami Heat retired the number 23 jersey to honor ‘His Airness’.

While the poster had people in awe, the August 5 show is special as it will have two separate shows in the same venue, The Chicago Theatre, at 7 pm and 10 pm.

Apart from preparing for his comedy tour, Joe Rogan is always up with his JRE podcast. And since MMA judging is a topic that floats around after every UFC card, the JRE host put light on it again.

Joe Rogan and MMA judging

A few weeks back, the longtime UFC announcer received backlash for his solution to fixing the judging criteria. Fans mocked him for ‘zero research‘ before his comments about fixing the ever-growing issue.

However, the JRE host didn’t let it slide and came back with a response to the haters while discussing the topic with MMA pioneer Gina Carano on the JRE podcast episode #1837.

The 54-year-old proposed a way to change the current judging system and mocked people who criticized him for his earlier comments. Rogan said, “I have been preaching this [fixing judging criteria] for years. But everyone is like, [in a creepy voice] ‘hey, we’ve already fixed the system… you don’t understand the system’.”

The UFC color commentator claimed, “I understand the system as it stands. What I’m saying is – the system, as it stands, f***ing sucks.”
