At Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, Elon Musk caught everyone’s attention—for the worst possible reason. Months later, Musk addressed the controversy on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, defending his actions. What did he say? Stay tuned as we bring you another episode of MMA Roundup!

From the Joe Rogan and Elon Musk episode, we will move forward to Khabib Nurmagomedov, Belal Muhammad, and more who have exchanged Ramadan wishes and finally, we will end our montage with a piece of information relating to Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier. So, without any further ado, let us get started.

Elon Musk defended his Nazi Salute at Donald Trump’s swearing-in at ‘Joe Rogan Podcast’

Elon Musk’s presence at Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony was filled with drama. The multi-billionaire business tycoon played a key role in helping Trump secure a second term in the Oval Office. In return for his assistance, Trump appointed him to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Regardless, what caught everyone’s attention is the fact that Elon Musk did the Nazi salute in his speech at the swearing-in ceremony.

Months later,  the tech mogul has come forward to publicly defend himself on ‘Joe Rogan Podcast’ about his salute antics from the swearing in ceremony. While having a conversation with Joe Rogan, Elon Musk highlighted that it was a positive attitude for the spur of the moment, “Meant in the most positive spirit possible.” Joe Rogan stated that Musk did that with little to no enthusiasm  thus defending the tech entrepreneur, “You did it with a little enthusiasm that probably wouldn’t be recommended with hindsight.”

Whether Elon Musk performed the Nazi salute in good spirit or not may remain unclear, but for now, let us move on to Khabib Nurmagomedov and others who have come forward during Ramadan.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, Belal Muhammad, and more share Ramadan greetings

The holy month of Ramadan has begun, marking a one-month period of spiritual reflection for Muslim fighters before they return to the Octagon. Several prominent fighters have extended warm greetings in honor of Ramadan. Former lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov took to his Instagram handle to wish his followers, “Alhamdulillah. #Ramadan2025.“

Furthermore, welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad took to his X handle to wish his fans, “Ramadan Kareem to all my brothers and sisters around the world.” Interestingly, even Jake Paul came forward to extend warm wishes to his Muslim fans across the world, “A month of blessings, generosity, and hopefully peace for all of the people of the Middle East. Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims worldwide.”

Interestingly, out of all the Muslim fighters, only Magomed Ankalaev will be fighting considering the fact that Alex Pereria wants to defend his belt. Given that, let us move on forward to the last segment about Michael Chandler and Dustin Poirier.

Michael Chandler hits back at Dustin Poirier after cheating allegations

While speaking on ‘Outta Pocket With RGIII,’ Dustin Poirier took aim at his former foe, Michael Chandler, accusing him of being a dirty fighter inside the Octagon. The former interim lightweight champion claimed that Chandler cheats and is fake, offering no positive remarks about his former opponent. Well, Poirier’s words didn’t go unnoticed by ‘Iron’ as he highlighted that he doesn’t care what his opponents think of him.

“I don’t [respond]. I don’t and you know, I don’t lose a wink of sleep thinking about Dustin Poirier and how he thinks about me. Unfortunately, obviously I live rent free in his head and he does lose sleep over me. So, I don’t think about him. When you ask, ‘What do you think about it?’ I don’t. So, yeah, man, it’s no big deal. We’ll keep on moving on. Not everybody’s going to like you and that’s just fine by me,” said Michael Chandler.

Dustin Poirier submitted Michael Chandler in a high-octane fight back at UFC 281, despite the victory, Poirier’s relationship with Chandler has been drowning. It must be noted that Chandler is open to a rematch against the former interim lightweight champ but will the Louisiana native agree to it? Well, maybe not. Given that, what are your thoughts on the hubbub? State your opinion in the comments below.
