Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Prefer it or not, Joe Rogan has turn out to be a pressure in US politics.
The previous Worry Issue host and present UFC colour commentator (a few of the time) will get paid handsomely to host some of the seen podcasts on the planet, he Joe Rogan Expertise (JRE). Everybody from Mike Tyson to Neil deGrasse Tyson has appeared on the present, which has featured increasingly political figures lately. President Donald Trump made historical past by showing on JRE in October whereas nonetheless working for election in a whopping three-hour interview.
Regardless of some prior dangerous blood.
Kamala Harris’ marketing campaign needed the previous Vice President to seem on JRE as properly in an effort to attach with Rogan’s viewers. Rogan and Harris have been in talks, however it by no means truly occurred, and folks have been speculating why within the months because the 2024 election concluded.
We lastly have a solution: Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway! Per Rogan himself, a scheduling battle between Harris’ availability and Rogan’s want to see the UFC 308 foremost occasion ended up ruining the deliberate look.
“They needed to do it that Saturday, the day after Trump,” Rogan defined. “I’ll do it, however it must be at 8:30 AM. The rationale why was I had a podcast already scheduled that was a dwell UFC podcast.”
He continued, “We had dedicated to doing this, I can’t simply say no guys, we will’t do that superior factor as a result of I’ve to interview Kamala Harris. I’m an MMA commentator, that is a part of my job. I stated I’ll do it, it simply must be 8:30 within the morning as a result of I’ve to be completed when the fights begin. That’s cheap.
“In order that was Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway. For UFC followers, that was an enormous combat, a big combat. Max Holloway had simply beat Justin Gaethje within the knockout of all time, and Ilia Topuria is without doubt one of the very best fighters on planet Earth. If not primary pound-for-pound, actually quantity two. He’s within the Prime 5 of the very best athletes in any weight class, so this was a conflict of the titans … I’m not gonna miss that!”
Sadly, it by no means got here collectively regardless of Rogan’s willingness to work round that dwell scheduling. On the intense aspect, Rogan and firm tuned into to a legendary knockout that actually lived as much as the hype!
