Joe Rogan is the host of the world’s #1 podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. On his podcast, Rogan invites educated guests to discuss various topics ranging from politics to sports and entertainment. Rogan is honest with his fans and even apologizes when required. Let us look back at when he backtracked his comments about the former UFC champion, Ronda Rousey.

JRE #915 featured Rogan alongside comedian, Nick DiPaolo, in which the two discussed a bunch of topics. In one segment, Rogan spoke about how he made a mistake in his earlier comments about Rousey beating “50 percent” of male UFC bantamweights. After Rousey’s two consecutive losses, he seemed to have changed his mind and clarified his earlier statements in this episode.

Rogan said, “I’m not happy that Ronda Rousey lost, but in a way, it makes things easier because there was a bunch of f**king people going, ‘Oh yeah, what about Ronda Rousey?” And I made the mistake saying – hyperbole. I’m the master of hyperbole. I exaggerate all the time – I was like, ‘She could probably beat half the men bantamweights in the UFC.'”

Why is Joe Rogan So Important to the UFC?

He continued, “That’s definitely not true. I shouldn’t have said it at the time. Now it’s definitely not true. She could beat a few that aren’t good outside the sport.” Rogan also gave props to Rousey and believed in her ability. He said, “Look. If she gets guys on the ground, she could f**k a lot of people up. Her Judo is 100 percent legit. Her armbars are amongst the best in the business.”
