Joe Rogan: Throwback to two of Rogan’s unusual interview moments

As aforementioned, the JRE podcast host is infamous for interviewing fighters under weird circumstances. One such example of this is when Rogan interviewed the former dual champion of UFC Conor McGregor

‘The Notorious’ suffered a gruesome leg break during his third fight with rival Dustin Poirier in 2021. McGregor was on the mat with his broken leg.

However, the veteran commentator didn’t hesitate and interviewed the Irish star. Interestingly, this moment gave birth to the famous ‘Your wife is in me DM’s’ line from the pay-per-view.
