UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley did not take well to the recent comments from Joe Rogan regarding his friend and teammate CM Punk. The UFC commentator recently spoke about the former professional wrestler turned mixed martial arts competitor during his Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Tyson Fury was a guest on the most recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) and produced one of the most astonishing interviews given by any athlete in quite some time. Back in February of 2015, Tyson Fury was literally on top of the world. He had just won the unified WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO, Ring magazine and lineal heavyweight titles, this after defeating long-reigning world champion Wladimir Klitschko.

Joe Rogan was cageside for UFC 229’s highly anticipated lightweight title fight between bitter rivals Khaib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor. The UFC commentator was only a few feet away from the action when “The Eagle” locked in a neck crank in round four which forced the Irish superstar to tapout.

There is already significant buzz about a rematch between UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and the man he just beat, former two-division champion Conor McGregor. While this rematch would generate massive amounts of money, however, its hardly the most sensible fight to make next from a rankings standpoint. That’s why UFC color commentator Joe Rogan is hoping it isn’t next.

Saturday night the world will be watching as former two division UFC champion Conor McGregor returns to battle undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. The brash Irish superstar, McGregor (21-3 MMA), has not stepped foot inside the octagon since defeating Eddie Alvarez via second round knockout at UFC 205 in November of 2016.

Yesterday afternoon, news surfaced that Valentina Shevchenko and Sijara Eubanks are likely to battle for the vacant UFC women’s flyweight title in the main event of UFC 230 on November 3. To say the fan reaction was mostly negative would be an understand. On social media, all but a few fans trashed this UFC 230 main event, many of whom felt that Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz should have been allowed to fight for the 165-pound title instead.

Joe Rogan, a long-time color commentator for the UFC, is not just a UFC fan. He’s also very interested in the products offered by other MMA promotions, particularly Bellator MMA — the UFC’s chief rival. Speaking on the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience MMA Show, Rogan shared his thoughts on Bellator MMA. Apparently, he’s hoping the promotion will continue to provide increasing competition for the UFC.

The next shot at Daniel Cormier’s UFC heavyweight title will go to former champion Brock Lesnar. In the eyes of many fans, however, this is the wrong choice. Instead, these fans feel that the next shot at Cormier should go to the very many he won the title from: Stipe Miocic. Miocic, after all, owns the record for most consecutive title defenses by a UFC heavyweight champion, and until his loss to Cormier — a first-round knockout — looked more or less unstoppable. Furthermore, many dominant champions are given immediate rematches when they lose their belts — such as Ronda Rousey and Joanna Jedrzejczyk, to name a few.

Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz’s trilogy fight is now allegedly official — though certain key details like the date and venue of the fight are still unknown. No matter the setting of this fight, which will be promoted by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, it’s likely to be the subject of much controversy. Ortiz, after all, is 43, while Liddell is 48 years old. Liddell also hasn’t fought since 2010, when he retired on the heels of three-straight knockout losses.

CM Punk’s second MMA bout, which occurred on the main card of UFC 225 last weekend, was more or less a disaster for him. Though he managed to survive the full fifteen minutes with his foe Mike Jackson, he was out-classed from bell-to-bell, and left the cage looking like bruised plum. Over the course of his fifteen-minute fight with Jackson, Punk showed plenty of heart — enough heart to “fill the arena,” according to his foe. Yet the unfortunate side-effect of the fight going the full fifteen minutes is that it provided ample proof that Punk is not cut out for cage fighting.

If you are an avid watcher of MMA and the UFC more specifically, when watching UFC fight nights on FOX(aka UFC on FOX), you will have noticed about a year or so ago that longtime UFC commentator, Joe Rogan no longer works those events. With the news of the UFC recently reaching a new deal with ESPN that will begin in 2019, FOX will no longer be home to the UFC. Obviously, this doesn’t mean much for Rogan who wasn’t working the events anyway, but he took the time yesterday during his Fight Companion for UFC Liverpool to go a bit in depth about everything wrong with his relationship with the network.

VIDEO | Joe Rogan responds to Colby Covington’s “slap” threat Earlier this week top ranked welterweight contender Colby Covington issued a warning to long time UFC commentator Joe Rogan suggesting that he “might just have to slap him” the next time he sees him.

Colby Covington, who battles Rafael dos Anjos for interim welterweight gold at UFC 225 in Chicago this June 9, is perhaps the most polarizing fighter in the game. The American Top Team staple’s actions and comments generate near constant backlash — even from UFC color commentator Joe Rogan.

Last weekend, in the main event of Bellator 198, heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko picked up one if his best wins in ages, putting former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir down with first-round punches. In this win, Emelianenko showed flashes of the brilliance he was famous for at the height of his reign as the world’s best heavyweight. In the opinion of UFC color commentator Joe Rogan, however, Emelianenko’s heyday might have been marred by performance-enhancing drug use. In Rogan’s eyes, it’s “suspicious” how Emelianenko’s success seemed to dwindle when he began fighting outside of Japan, where drug-testing is more stringent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wAMPOmZ22Y We will probably never all agree on who the greatest fighter in MMA is. On the latest episode of The JRE MMA Show, however, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan and top light contender Kevin Lee did their best to figure it out.

Joe Rogan has added a new piece of art to his studio, and it’s one Conor McGregor supporters will probably like. See this piece, which is essentially a grid composed of Conor McGregor’s mugshot, below.

Earlier this month, former UFC lightweight champ Conor McGregor travelled to Brooklyn, New York for UFC 223, and promptly went ballistic. The Irishman ran amok inside the UFC 223 host venue, throwing a dolly through the window of a shuttle bus carrying a number of fighters, and injuring two of them. In the wake of this ridiculous incident, we’ve all been waiting keenly to see what kind of repercussions the Irishman will face from the UFC, the Barclay’s Center, the New York State Athletic Commission, and the fighters he injured.
