Former UFC star Ronda Rousey takes a shot at Joe Rogan

Harry Kettle - October 31, 2025

Former UFC champion and superstar Ronda Rousey has taken a shot at the promotion’s most famous commentator Joe Rogan. As we know, Ronda Rousey is easily one of the biggest stars in mixed martial arts history. She helped put women’s MMA on the map and for a while, she was one of the biggest names in combat sports – and perhaps all of sports. Unfortunately, following losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, she fell off the map, and she also fell out of favor with a lot of fans because of how she responded to those defeats.

Joe Rogan calls for huge Alex Pereira vs Jon Jones fight to happen at UFC White House

Harry Kettle - October 20, 2025

Joe Rogan is interested in seeing Alex Pereira and Jon Jones square off at next summer’s UFC White House event. Following his win over Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, Alex Pereira has made it crystal clear that he wants to fight Jon Jones at the White House next summer. He’s insisted that he wants to move up to heavyweight, and while he now once again holds the belt at 205 pounds, it doesn’t appear as if that’s going to put him off chasing this Jones bout.

Joe Rogan shares grim outlook for Dricus du Plessis' chances of avenging loss to Khamzat Chimaev

Fernando Quiles Jr. - September 26, 2025

Joe Rogan isn’t sold on things being much different if Dricus du Plessis ever gets a rematch with Khamzat Chimaev. Du Plessis entered UFC 319 as the UFC Middleweight Champion. He defeated Sean Strickland twice, submitted Israel Adesanya, and stopped Robert Whittaker. It’s an impressive resume for “Stillknocks,” but Chimaev didn’t care about any of it. “Borz” handled business, ragdolling and controlling du Plessis throughout their title fight back in August. Chimaev ultimately scored the unanimous decision victory to capture UFC gold for the first time in his career.

Khabib Nurmagomedov has an 'asterisk' on legendary UFC career, says Joe Rogan

Fernando Quiles Jr. - September 10, 2025

Joe Rogan believes that Khabib Nurmagomedov should’ve had one loss on his pro MMA record. There is no doubting the accomplishments Nurmagomedov made throughout his prizefighting career. He dominated the likes of Conor McGregor, Justin Gaethje, and Dustin Poirier. He also captured UFC gold along the way, and retired with an undefeated record of 29-0.

Joe Rogan questions if 'biggest UFC middleweight star' can cut the line to fight Khamzat Chimaev

Fernando Quiles Jr. - September 8, 2025

Joe Rogan is curious to see if the UFC middleweight division’s “biggest star” can leapfrog his way to another title fight. Khamzat Chimaev is the reigning 185-pound titleholder following a dominant grappling performance against Dricus du Plessis back in August. Nassourdine Imavov made a case for the next middleweight title shot after defeating Caio Borralho at UFC Paris. The winner of the Oct. 18 bout between Reinier de Ridder and Anthony Hernandez also has a chance to secure the next 185-pound title shot.

It isn’t often that someone from PFL gets a mention on a UFC show, but that’s exactly what happened during the ESPN portion of the UFC 319 prelims. During a strawweight clash between Loopy Godinez and Jessica Andrade, Rogan mentioned Liz Carmouche’s 2025 PFL Women’s Flyweight Tournament win.

He has been on the call for the majority of the UFC’s major moments and even now, he is still a regular commentator for them.

UFC commentator Joe Rogan falls for AI-created Khabib Nurmagomedov edit

Harry Kettle - July 30, 2025

UFC commentator Joe Rogan didn’t do himself any favors with a recent video of him falling for an AI-created clip on his podcast. Over the course of the last few decades, it’s safe to say that Joe Rogan has been one of the voices of mixed martial arts. He was an early advocate of the sport from a young age and from there, he played a big role in helping to bring the sport – and mainly the UFC – into the mainstream. He’s continued to work with the company in a commentary capacity for a long time and as we look ahead to the future, it certainly doesn’t seem as if he’s going to slow down anytime soon.

'Liver King' arrested after flying to Austin to fight UFC commentator Joe Rogan

BJ Penn Staff - June 25, 2025

Brian Johnson, better known as the Liver King, is in custody after flying to Austin, Texas, to fight UFC commentator Joe Rogan. Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Johnson rose to fame a few years ago, when he began promoting a bizarre raw-meat diet, which he claimed was a driving force behind is undeniably hulk-ish physique. However, it was later discovered that he had been abusing a smorgasbord of performance-enhancing drugs—all while promoting an all-natural lifestyle. The ordeal was so scandalous that Netflix actually made a documentary about it.
