Further continuing on the subject, Rogan mentioned, “And I don’t know if it’s true. I don’t know what the evidence is for the allegations. But I know it’s serious enough for investigating it. And it’s serious enough for his fighters to not allow them to compete in the UFC anymore. So it’s a really big deal…” While a good deal might accuse Rogan to be taking sides, that certainly was not the case.

The 55-year-old also talked about the gym that was under investigation and how the whole scandal caused a lot of trouble for the people who weren’t involved in anything but just training there. “I am friends with people that just train at the UFC that train at his gym that work at the UFC have to find a new gym… I’m like Woah! You just train here. It’s a gym filled with fighters. You aren’t even allowed to train there anymore. Or they feel that they aren’t allowed to train there anymore.” Said the UFC commentator. Brandon Moreno is probably the biggest name associated with James Krause.
