Speaking on the ‘Joe Rogan Experience #2158, the UFC commentator claimed,” It’s a weird thing that thing the people do. Where they try to pawn off other people’s bits as their own. It’s a vampire thing because you are around all these creative people and you’re just stealing a little bit of this guy and a little bit from that guy are scared of you.”

Rogan further solidified his claims and pointed out how most of those comedians failed to make it big. However, the UFC color commentator made it clear that he has yet to confront anyone who has copied his content. The 56-year-old added, “You see a couple early, like big specials or something, and then you see massive drop off and terrible performances. After that, it’s because they’re not real. Yeah, I think I can. Think of they’re parasites, that’s what they are. They’re vampires. And they are they’re stealing from artists and they’re tolerated a lot of times because they’re very successful.”
