VIDEO: Houston MMA Fans Loudly Chant ‘Free Joe Rogan’ at UFC 271 in Houston

The Toyota Center at Houston, Texas witnessed one of the craziest spectacles in UFC history as the arena audience came together to cheer for Joe Rogan.

The second UFC pay-per-view of the year, UFC 271, was initially scheduled to be called by UFC’s staple trio Jon Anik, former UFC double champion Daniel Cormier, and longtime UFC color commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan. However, hours before the event, UFC announced Rogan would not be a part of the broadcast because of schedule conflicts.

Nevertheless, MMA fans in the ‘Space City’ were having none of it. The audience started sloganeering for Rogan in a chorus as they chanted “Free Joe Rogan” at the top of their voices. As the shouts filled the whole arena, the only thing that could be heard was Joe Rogan.

On Saturday, news came out that former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping would replace Rogan to make his PPV cage-side commentary debut. Consequently, MMA fans reacted negatively and slandered UFC’s broadcasting partner ESPN and their parent company Disney.

Israel Adesanya shows support for Joe Rogan 

Amongst all the allegations leveled at Joe Rogan, many MMA entities came in to show support for the longtime UFC associate. Even UFC supremo Dana White came in to say that Rogan couldn’t be canceled.

Probably the most impactful and shocking message Rogan received was that of Nigerian-born Israel Adesanya, who pounced at Rogan’s question on the UFC 271 media day scrum.

“First off, let me take this one, hold up. I’m Black, I can take this one. Look… there’s a lot of c**ts in this game. There’s a lot of snakes in this game. I’ve been in this fight game since 2008. And Joe Rogan is one of the nicest, coolest, humble motherfu**ers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Understand that,” stated Adesanya.

“You know it’s, f**k the noise man. You know what they’re trying to do. You can’t control the man and he’s got the biggest platform in the world right now,” he continued.
