MMA Community Steps Forward to Defend Joe Rogan After Backlash for Not Standing Behind Him Earlier

Music sharing platform Spotify removed many editions of UFC commentator Joe Rogan’s podcast, i.e. The Joe Rogan Experience. However, members of the MMA community didn’t find it particularly fair and initially criticized fighters, especially from the UFC, for not taking a stand against the accusations.

That being said, several fighters showcased their support for Joe Rogan on Twitter.

Former UFC lightweight champion Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar tweeted, “I’ll take Joe Rogan over all these bozos!”

“I support @joerogan,” UFC bantamweight Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera wrote on Twitter

“If they can cancel Joe they can cancel anyone. Time to stand up people,” Ben Askren rallied for Joe Rogan’s support.

“This world and nation are in a strange place right now and the people who bring dialogue in seek of the truth are not our enemies.@joerogan is a friend with a huge heart for everyone. 👊🏽🙏🏽,” former UFC and Bellator fighter Josh Thomson wrote on Twitter.

“@joerogan is my boy,” said former UFC fighter Din Thomas.

“I’m sorry but I’m not cancelling @joerogan better try somebody else,” wrote UFC middleweight Deron Winn.

“I’ll do ya one better @Shanemgillis. If they cancel @joerogan every comic Rogan has ever helped should pull their podcast off Spotify. I’m down,” wrote Brendan Schaub.

During the whole drama, the UFC commentator was interpreted as someone who spreads misinformation via his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. But Rogan, in a video, clarified that he had no intentions to spread lies and only wanted to showcase an opposing viewpoint through his platform.

The nine-minute-long Instagram video addressed some other core issues as well. UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya commented, “Do you BooBoo.”

Meanwhile, Belal ‘Remember The Name’ Muhammad also supported the UFC commentator.
