Joe Rogan has always shown concern for the fighters competing in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. However, he has also shown interest in knowing about the details of the altercations the fighters involve themselves with. One such altercation that caught the UFC commentator’s attention was the one involving Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. In a now-deleted episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience: The MMA Show’, the 55-year-old podcaster believed that Covington was in fact hurt as ‘Gamebred’ sucker punched him in the face.

However, Rogan’s guest, Belal Muhammad, seemed to have a unique set of opinions. While the fan-favorite commentator claimed that one of his friends who actually knew the fighter well, told him that the punch genuinely injured Covington. Surprisingly, Muhammad’s views didn’t seem to coincide with Rogan’s.
