Former athlete Brendan Schaub had some interesting comments on Vice President Kamala Harris and how she would potentially do in an interview with Joe Rogan, on his talk show.
Brendan Schaub on Kamala Harris and Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan is the host of the world’s most popular talk show, The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Brendan Schaub was a frequently featured guest on the show and was able to leverage his friendship with Rogan into his own career of podcasting and stand-up comedy. While Schaub is best known for his stint as a UFC fighter, he has hosted multiple podcasts and stand-up comedy specials.
Due to their popularity in the young male demographic, podcasts have become a cornerstone for presidential candidates in the 2024 election. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been doing the rounds on popular podcasts, which is why Joe Rogan’s mainstream show has become a recent talking point.
New York billionaire, the luxury hotel owner, Donald Trump sat down with Joe Rogan for a recent interview, looking to connect with male voters. Vice President Kamala Harris has been in talks with the Joe Rogan Experience but is rumored to have declined. Brendan Schaub took to X to Tweet out his defense of his friend. He said:
“She would get absolutely dog walked on JRE. No script, no talking points, ain’t her thing folks.”
The internet had quite a day with this Tweet. Ryan Wagner said:
“The hardest hitting question Rogan’s capable of asking is “Wow that’s wild. Jamie is that true?””
“Joe would probably end up voting for her if she spoke to him the dude is that impressionable.”
Quick overview of policies; Donald Trump aims to cut taxes, especially for corporations and wealthy individuals. He wants to build a wall on the Mexican border and deport undocumented immigrants. Kamala Harris focuses on reducing costs for working families, particularly in housing and food. She supports expanding child tax credits and increasing taxes on high earners and large corporations.

Aline Pereira’s upcoming fight at Karate Combat 50 has hit a snag due to weight issues with her opponent, Dee Begley. Initially contracted to fight at 125 pounds, Begley requested a catchweight of 130 pounds earlier this week.
Dee Begley Misses Weight for Aline Pereira Fight
However, she failed to make even this higher weight limit, coming in at 134 pounds – a full 3.6 pounds over the newly agreed catchweight. This significant miss has put the fight in jeopardy, with negotiations now underway to salvage the bout. As of now, it’s unclear whether the fight will proceed as planned or if further adjustments will be necessary to ensure it takes place. It has been revealed by Karate Combat president Asim Zaidi in a conversation with Low Kick MMA.
Aline Pereira and Dee Begley were set to face off in a matchup at Karate Combat 50 this Friday live from Salt Lake City, which broadcasts on UFC Fight Pass.
Aline Pereira vs. Dee Begley
Brazil’s Aline Pereira, the younger sister of UFC champion Alex Pereira, brings an impressive kickboxing background to the fight in Karate Combat.

According to a recent study, Power Slap Fighting is even more dangerous than initially thought. A whopping 78% of athletes suffered from likely brain injury.
Power Slap Fighting and Brain Damage
Power Slap is produced and promoted by UFC president Dana White who has been taking constant criticism of the sport since its inception. The University of Pittsburgh and the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System reviewed footage from the first season of Power Slap and found that 78% of participants displayed at least one sign of a concussion. These signs could include vacant stares, slow movements, coordination issues, and even vomiting or seizures.
The study revealed that of the 333 slaps reviewed, nearly 30% led to visible concussive signs, and 20 participants showed signs of multiple concussions. But this might be part of the appeal, as UFC fighter Donald Cerrone explained in an interview:
“I love it. This is, like, if you just want to watch knockout, knockout, knockout, and hear CTE brain damage, this is the event”
When it first debuted in 2022, Neurologist Dr. Nitin Sethi explained:
“Open-handed slaps delivered with such force to the opponent’s face frequently cause the person’s legs to buckle, at times suffer momentary – sometimes longer – loss of consciousness, and collapse to the floor. These are all concussive injuries of varying duration … In my professional opinion, those who partake in this ‘sport’ will also suffer the stigmata of chronic neurological injuries.”
On the study itself, neurologist Raj Swaroop Lavadi of the University of Pittsburgh said:
“Slap fighting may be entertaining to watch as a lay viewer, but as medical professionals, we found some aspects of the competitions to be quite concerning. Our end goal is to make all professional sports safer for the neurologic health of the athletes. It is really difficult to ban any sport, but it is possible to raise awareness about the associated harms.“
