After being in the media’s crosshairs for some time, a few of Joe Rogan’s views on the COVID-19 pandemic were mocked in an opening skit on Saturday Night Live.

While some feel SNL skits have lost comedic vibrancy, it appears Joe Rogan is reaching new levels of fame and notoriety nonetheless. The UFC color analyst has been widely criticized for his controversial takes on the pandemic in the U.S.

The sketch shows actor, Pete Davidson, wearing a bald cap and a black button-down shirt denoting Rogan in his typical UFC fight night attire. As the fake Rogan enters the scene with a bag of unidentified pills, he shows up on a ‘Newsmax Kids’ rendition of Seasame Street, hosted by U.S. Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, played by Aidy Bryant.

“I used to host Fear Factor and now doctors fear me,” he says. “I took Carlos Mencia down, I can take COVID.” Fake Rogan replies to Big Bird’s request for help.

“Here’s some zinc, and ayahuasca, and horse medicine,” Fake Rogan continues. “I’m a human and I took horse medicine. And speaking of things that are horse-like, today’s two sponsors are the letters S and D, as in ‘I can S my own D.’”

Following his diagnosis of COVID-19 ten weeks ago, the real Joe Rogan went to social media and revealed a cocktail of drugs he took to eradicate the virus from his body in a remarkable amount of time.

The second stanza, of course, is a reference to Joe Rogan’s intrepid claim on The Joe Rogan Experience. The former Fear Factor host shared that he is able to perform oral sex on himself. The autoerotic declaration was made during a bizarre conversation with podcast guests Ari Shaffir, Mark Normand, and Shane Gillis.

The UFC may not be requiring fighters to get their COVID-19 vaccines, but the United States is, at least for some.

Dana White has been vocal about his support for the rights of his fighters to not need a COVID-19 vaccination to compete. Some have suggested that this could be because he does not want to blur the lines between independent contractors and employees, but even if that is not the case, he has made it clear how he feels on the matter.

However, a report that was obtained by MMAJunkie has revealed that while the UFC is not requiring vaccines, regulations for the United States will force international athletes to be vaccinated to compete. Beginning November 8th, nobody will be allowed to enter the country without proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test, meaning that any fighter coming from overseas after that point will have to take measures accordingly.

“Foreign national air travelers to the United States will be required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of their vaccination status to fly to the United States,” the memo reads. “Fully vaccinated travelers will also be required to show a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of travel prior to boarding their flight. This policy also applies to foreign nationals crossing the land borders with Canada and Mexico or arriving in the United States by passenger ferry.”

That being said, the UFC wanted to make it clear that this was not a rule they created themselves. Instead, they are just informing the fighters about what the United States government has decided but did suggest that a workaround for some, would be to travel into the country before that deadline approaches.

“To be clear, this is NOT a UFC policy,” the memo reads. “UFC is not requiring you to get vaccinated. We are simply communicating the new guidelines recently announced by the U.S. government.”

“You should consider your options, such as traveling to the United States before this new U.S. government policy takes effect, or if you choose, make arrangements to take the appropriate vaccination.”

This is obviously a complicated issue that has many sides, with no one solution being satisfying to every party. The one thing that is clear, though, is that this has the potential for massive repercussions for international UFC fighters moving forward.
