Rogan doesn’t refrain from bringing up even the most controversial topics to discuss. Avid viewers of his podcast already know about the distaste that Rogan possesses for ‘weight cuts’ in MMA. He was joined by the noted sports documentarian, Will Harris, on one of the episodes of JRE. Rogan went ‘no holds barred’ yet again.

He broke down the reasons he didn’t like the weight cuts before a fight. Furthermore, he discussed how weight cutting was equally threatening to MMA as steroids.

Rogan replied to Harris’ words stating, “I would like to do a piece on weight cutting that the UFC wouldn’t like.” It probably came from the fact that Rogan loathed the ritual of weight cutting before fighting.

He continued, “I don’t like weight cutting.” Taking things one step further, Rogan also said, “I think it’s the worst problem in the sport”. He also pertinently added, “I think it’s right up there with steroids.”

Rogan went on, “I think steroids are barely a problem now, because USADA’s so vigilant.” UFC fighters have always been prone to steroidal problems. But, Rogan appreciated the role of USADA in keeping the sport free from steroids.

Talking about the strict checks of the USADA, he also mentioned, “They woke up Paulo Costa at fu***n’ 6 in the morning.”
