However, when it comes to UFC Freedom 250, Rogan has been vocal in the fact that he isn’t the biggest fan of the event. This has been a popular theme throughout many within the UFC family, especially fighters, who haven’t been too inspired by the idea.

In a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan had the following to say on the matter.

“Yeah, I’m not thrilled about that (event),” he said.

“Yeah, I’ll be there but I’m not thrilled about it, it doesn’t seem like a wise idea… It’s kind of a gimmick, you know, there’s that.

“And people are criticizing the card but if it was any other card it’s a great card it’s just they’re criticizing it because they said it was gonna be the greatest card of all time and it’s also just gonna be a security nightmare.”

“Also they’re fighting outside, what if it rains, what if it’s hot? You’re in the middle of June, June in D.C. can get pretty warm, that affects fighters.

“We only did one outside fight that I was part of and that was in Abu Dhabi and it was a nightmare. It was really hot and there were bugs flying around the size of f—— birds, it was crazy,” Rogan continued.
