Joe Rogan warns UFC star Conor McGregor after he called out Kamaru Usman
Joe Rogan is never shy about sharing his opinions on a particular topic. Just like his honest opinion on Musk vs. Putin, Rogan also chimed in his thoughts on UFC superstar Conor McGregor’s recent call out.
‘The Notorious’ is currently out of action due to a gruesome injury suffered in his last lightweight bout in July 2021. However, the Irishman has fully recovered and is eyeing to return this year.
However, he doesn’t want to compete in the lightweight division and has hinted at a fight against the welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Although McGregor is one of the best fighters in UFC, he has only won one fight since 2018.
Hence, his demand of fighting the welterweight champion didn’t sit well with many, including UFC commentator Rogan. In one episode of his podcast, Rogan said, “You know, he’s talking about fighting Kamaru Usman. Like, phew, be careful what you ask for.”
