The Unapologetic Fight Fan: Joe Rogan’s Priorities
When it comes to choosing between politics and pugilism, Joe Rogan’s loyalties are clear. The comedian and mixed martial arts commentator has no qualms about putting his passion for fighting above all else – even if it means turning down a meeting with the Vice President of the United States.
A Presidential Snub
Rogan’s commitment to the sport was put to the test when he was approached by then-Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris for an interview. However, he made it clear that he wouldn’t be available to chat during the highly anticipated Max Holloway vs Ilia Topuria fight. Why? Because he had already planned a boys’ night out with friends Eddie Bravo, Brendan Schaub, and Bryan Callen to watch the event and record a live podcast.
Fight Night Takes Center Stage
It’s not hard to imagine Rogan giving the same response to any other politician who dared to schedule a meeting during a major UFC event. Even Donald Trump, a known fan of the sport, might have received the same brush-off. In fact, Rogan might have even invited Trump to join him for a fight companion podcast, alongside conspiracy theorist Eddie Bravo. Who knows, it might have been a ratings goldmine!
A Lifelong Passion
For Rogan, fights come first. He’s the kind of guy who gets emotional about underdog stories and comeback victories. His love for the sport is genuine and unwavering, and he’ll continue to prioritize it until his dying day.
A Shared Obsession
It’s not just Rogan who puts fights above politics. Rumor has it that JackMac’s interview with Kamala Harris also fell through due to a scheduling conflict – with UFC, of course. It seems that for some, the thrill of the fight is too great to be swayed by the allure of political power.
