Joe Rogan made fun of an iconic Rafael Nadal quote. The longtime voice of the UFC doesn’t shy away from taking a jibe at people on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. However, usually, there’s a method to his madness. And though, even in this case, people can make an argument for Rogan being reasonable, it wouldn’t be Rafael Nadal or any of his fans.

The former world number 1 has suffered various injuries throughout his career. Nadal has undergone various knee surgeries. Besides, his foot injuries, hamstring, shoulder, back, wrist, and hip all have caused him to stay off the court often in his legendary career. Despite that, he still holds the record for the most men’s singles Grand Slam titles, 21, in tennis history.

Thus, Rogan perhaps unknowingly made an error in judgment. However, the veteran UFC commentator knows a thing or two about injuries with his prior interactions with UFC athletes.
