UFC commentator Joe Rogan calls for promotion to ditch USADA testing, allow TRT use: ‘There’s a real problem’

Veteran UFC color-commentator, Joe Rogan has called for the organization to ditch their association with USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) – in favor of their own in-house testing program for fighters.

Rogan, a veteran former combat sports practitioner himself turned actor, podcast host, comedian and heralded color-commentator, has limited his time in the booth in recent years to North American exclusive pay-per-view events, and is set to make his return to the microphone in November at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden.

Headlining that card is a monstrous heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and former two-time champion, Stipe Miocic – with a vacant light heavyweight title fight between former champions, Jiri Prochazka, and Alex Pereira set for co-headlining status.

Joe Rogan campaigns for UFC to disband relationship with USADA

Sharing his thoughts on the establishment of a USADA programe in the UFC – which has been in effect since late-2015, Rogan has called for the organization to part ways with the agency, and administer their own tests instead.

“Then there’s a six-month period USADA has to test them [fighters] randomly, which I think the USADA thing’s a mistake,” Joe Rogan said on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. “I really thingk they should do all that in-house ‘cause USADA does stuff like, well they don’t do it anymore, but they were doing stuff like waking guys up at 6:40 in the morning like the day of the weigh-ins, and testing them. It was f*cking insane, for world title fights, f*cking insane.”

“There’s a real problem where they’re stopping guys from taking things like BPC-157, all that stuff does is let you heal,” Joe Rogan explained. It’s called body protection peptide 157, body protection compound. It’s a really good peptide for healing injuries. I think athletes should be able to use everything they can, especially in a sport like MMA.”

Joe Rogan has faith in Conor McGregor’s ability to return from devastating leg break: ‘If anybody can do it…’

Joe Rogan believes if anyone can come back from a devastating leg injury, it’s Conor McGregor. In July 2021, the Irishman suffered a horrific leg break in the opening round of his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. More than two years removed, McGregor is fully recovered by all accounts but is yet […]

Joe Rogan believes if anyone can come back from a devastating leg injury, it’s Conor McGregor.

In July 2021, the Irishman suffered a horrific leg break in the opening round of his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. More than two years removed, McGregor is fully recovered by all accounts but is yet to make his return to the Octagon despite being heavily rumored for a clash with lightweight fan favorite ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler in December.

Unfortunately, that bout has seemingly been pushed into 2024, but many are still questioning whether or not McGregor will even make his long-awaited return. Speaking about the Irishman’s anticipated comeback, Joe Rogan discussed how incredibly difficult it is for a fighter to step back into the Octagon after sustaining such a horrendous injury. But the popular podcaster does believe that if anyone can do it, it’s Conor McGregor.

“If it wasn’t for his leg snap, he’s still in the prime of his career. But that leg snap is a real problem,” Rogan said on an episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. “I mean, if he does (come back from that), he’ll be the first. And if anybody does, maybe he can do it. If anybody can do it, maybe it’s him. Because he snapped his leg in the prime of his career. Anderson was a little older, I believe he was 36 or 37… Chris Weidman was a little older.

“It’s a hard one to come back from. Nobody really comes back from that one,” Rogan continued. “You have to have plates in there. Also, you’ve gotta think the differences to your kicking, taking kicks… nerve damage, all the above… I don’t know the extent of how much damage was done, but it’s been two years… I just think that if anybody can do it, it’s gonna be Conor” (h/t MMA News).

Can Conor McGregor Do What Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman Could Not?

Former middleweight world champion Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva suffered an absolutely brutal leg break during his rematch with Chris Weidman at UFC 168 more than a decade ago. Silva returned just over a year later, but was never quite the same, dropping five of his last six before exiting the promotion.

In an ironic twist of fate, Chris Weidman would go on to endure a very similar injury just seconds into his UFC 261 scrap with Uriah Hall. More than two years later, ‘All-American’ would make his own comeback, but unfortunately dropped a lopsided loss to Brad Tavares in his return this August.

Being a few years younger than both Silva and Weidman at the time of their individual injuries, Conor McGregor could potentially come back and compete at the highest level, but with a net worth estimated at over $200 million, many have questioned whether or not the Irishman even has the motivation to make a comeback. But that’s a different conversation altogether.

Listening to The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast is a turn off to girls according to new study

If you want to be more appealing to women, listening to Joe Rogan will not help you a new study finds.

While Rogan has been a prominent figure within the MMA community for some time, also gaining fame through his time doing stand-up and appearing on TV shows such as Fear Factor – the 56-year-old has risen to enormous fame thanks to his podcast.

The Joe Rogan experience attracts millions of listeners and has been a part of major pop culture moments. It is particularly popular with males and has become synonymous with ‘bro’ culture.

However, being an avid fan and listener might not be the first thing you mention when trying to get a date according to Change. 55% of women who were questioned said that listening to Joe Rogan was a ‘red flag’ in a man.

While Rogan has produced interesting and hilarious content throughout the years, his product has come under heavy scrutiny. Rogan has come under fire for what made on the podcast, including the use of racial slurs, pandemic-related claims and ‘platforming’ people who some deem as not worthy of it.

How long will Joe Rogan be around the UFC?

While Rogan seems that he will remain a massive fan of the sport, his time on the broadcast desk will come to an end at some point. Rogan has never given an exact timetable of when he will call it a day but has stated that if UFC CEO Dana White leaves, he will also go.

“If Dana leaves, I’m gone,” Rogan said via his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience. “It’s in my contract.”

Rogan is selective on the pay-per-views that he now does and will not travel outside of the U.S. to commentate.

Joe Rogan rise to fame

Nowadays, Rogan is one of the most famous people in the world and has a huge army of loving fans. However, the comedian has been around a long time and has many feathers in his cap.

Appearing on the Oil and Whiskey podcast, Rogan spoke about his unique rise to fame.

“Fame happened to me nice and slow. It was like a slow drip, you know,” Rogan began. “I was on a sitcom with seven other people, most people I never got recognized anywhere. Very rarely did people know who I was and then I was on Fear Factor and that was a lot more like popular and a lot more notoriety but it was okay it was like it was doable and then the podcast happened in the UFC in the podcast kind of happened around the same time. It’s like the UFC happened first, you know.

“I was working for the UFC,” he continued. “I actually started working for the UFC back in 97 and I did that back when it was like banned from cable and you know you could only get it if you had a satellite dish and to me, it was just I was a lifelong martial artist and I was excited about the concept of getting all these different styles together and so I got recognized a little bit from the UFC and then after my podcast took off, my podcast took off a few years after the UFC took off and it was just like all these things kind of compounded.” (H/T Essentially Sports)

Video – Joe Rogan reacts to Sean Strickland’s upset win over Israel Adesanya at UFC 293: ‘I wish I was there’

Joe Rogan was highly impressed with Sean Strickland’s performance at UFC 293. The brash middleweight did the unthinkable and upset the now former champion Israel Adesanya, and even made it look easy. The performance was a clear display that styles make fights and we saw Adesanya struggle to connect when faced with Strickland’s almost immaculate […]

The performance was a clear display that styles make fights and we saw Adesanya struggle to connect when faced with Strickland’s almost immaculate defense and constant pressure. Forced to fight on the backfoot the entire fight, and almost finished in round one, ‘The Last Stylebender’ lost every round of the fight in Joe Rogan’s eyes.

“I think it’s five (to) zero,” Joe Rogan began, discussing the fight between Strickland and Adesanya. “Sean Strickland is the new middleweight champion of the world, that is f****** crazy.”

Joe Rogan speaks on the Strickland vs. Adesanya fight and a potential rematch between the two

“There’s one round where Izzy might’ve won. Might’ve, but I don’t think he did. All those significant strikes, that’s all nonsense. You’re looking at leg kicks that get checked, you can’t count that.”

While watching a replay of the fight, Joe Rogan and his buddies continued to comment on what a spectacular moment they were witnessing. Rogan even expressed some regret that he wasn’t there to work that event as an announcer.

“The rematch is 100% big money, and that’s what would be smart to do… Unbelievable, he f****** did it. That wild motherf***** is the middleweight champion of the world. God, I wish I was there. I wish I was there for that.”

Rogan did say that Adesanya had class in defeat, but there was no doubt that Rogan and his compatriots were completely astounded and blown away by the incredible performance of Sean Strickland.

“He f****** did it,” Joe Rogan continued, obviously extremely happy for the newly crowned champion. “He’s got the UFC middleweight championship title around his waist, and he beat the best ever, in his prime. Unbelievable.”
