Welcome to another edition of the daily roundup prepared for those combat sports lovers who are looking for the biggest headlines from the world of MMA in the last 24 hours. To start today’s list, our first matter of focus will be longtime UFC commentator, Joe Rogan. The 56-year-old’s comments regarding the failed assassination attempt on ex-president Donald Trump have gone viral.

We’ll shift our attention, thereafter, to Dana White, who joined WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Donald Trump. Finally, this compilation will mark its end after we take a look at Daniel Cormier, who backed Jon Jones regarding the UFC champion’s misdemeanor charges.

What did Joe Rogan say about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump?

Recently, fans felt a little disappointed with the biggest podcasting voice in the world after he invited comedian Chad Daniels to a recent JRE episode. Given how influential he is and the magnitude of the assassination attempt, fans expected Joe Rogan to have Donald Trump on his show, something that even the ex-president has been wanting for a long time. Although he did not invite the 45th US President on his show, the JRE host did talk about the events that transpired at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and guess what?

Some found it to be bizarre after mentioning a few theories of his own. “Either they [the Secret Service] knew this guy was on the roof to hear that that guy had pointed his rifle before that at a cop so the cop engaged him, he pointed the rifle and the cop ran away. The guy climbed the roof with a ladder you can see the ladder, the whole thing is bananas,” Joe Rogan stated in episode #2176 of ‘Joe Rogan Experience’.

Furthermore, he also mentioned how taken aback he was when the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was later revealed to have appeared in a commercial for BlackRock Inc. “He’s 20 years old and then you find out he was in a Black Rock commercial? You’re like, ‘Am I? Is this the Black Mirror? Like, tell me what’s going on is this real?'” Rogan added.

Despite Joe Rogan devising theories about the incident, Dana White hasn’t stopped showing his unending support for the ex-president.

Dana White and  WWE Hall of Famer attend the Republican National Convention

As Dana White promised in his Instagram post where he reacted to Donald Trump’s shooting incident in Pennsylvania, he kept his word and attended the RNC, which wasn’t his first time either. As usual, the UFC CEO spoke very highly about the former president and claimed that “he’s fighting for the future of this country.” 

He also mentioned that since 2015, White has been telling people about the fighting spirit of Trump. “I’m in the tough-guy business and this man is the toughest, most resilient human being I’ve ever met in my life,” said Dana White.

Meanwhile, he wasn’t the only sporting figure who stuck his neck out for Donald Trump because WWE Hall of Famer and the superstar of the Golden Era of WWE, Hulk Hogan, was also in attendance. He offered his support to Trump while pumping up the crowd in attendance in his usual ‘Hulkamania’ way. Now, let’s move over to our final piece of news, which is related to a UFC champion.

Jon Jones gets unexpected support from Daniel Cormier

The turn from a champion fighter to an on-screen analyst may have changed Daniel Cormier’s approach to how he views Jon Jones, given how hot their rivalry was back in the day. He offered his support to the heavyweight champion regarding the misdemeanor charges slapped at him, believing the real problem may have arisen from the approach of those drug testers who visited his Albuquerque residence in March.

“If I’m being completely honest though, the whole time, I kind of thought the deal was BS… I feel like he was approached very early, or if I recall correctly it was either early in the morning or late in the evening, where he could have been home having some drinks… I kind of always thought it was BS I don’t think much is going to come of it,” Daniel Cormier stated on his YouTube channel.

It remains to be seen what lies in the future for Jon Jones in terms of these charges as fans wait for his return to Octagon against Stipe Miocic. What are your thoughts about Jones’ legal troubles? Let us know in the comments below.
