Joe Rogan often praises movies, documentaries, or other forms of art he likes on his social media handles. The two-decade-plus veteran UFC commentator did precisely that in a recent Instagram post. However, the platform he promoted has been going through a dispute with one of his friends and boxing legend Mike Tyson. The former boxing heavyweight champion has criticized Hulu for a show (‘Mike’) based on him.

The Baddest Man on the Planet posted a series of tweets to express his opinions about Hulu’s series ‘Mike’ being created without his consent.

Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother @danawhite millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life.

Kid Dynamite received support from various MMA and combat sports personalities. UFC President Dana White even refused to work with Hulu after he talked to Tyson and came to know the entire situation.
Also, one of the biggest names on the UFC roster, Nate Diaz sent a message to the streaming platform in his unique style.
Even though Joe Rogan didn’t promote the series ‘Mike’, he mentioned the platform where it was available in his caption while praising the movie ‘Prey’.
