Joe Rogan fires back at critics of UFC’s White House event.
Over the weekend, the UFC held an event on the South Lawn of the White House.
During his latest podcast, Rogan called the UFC event at the White House the biggest fight night of all time.
“It was insane. Just the scale of it was insane,” Rogan said. “It was the wildest experience I’ve ever had in my 20 years of calling martial arts. There’s nothing close. Nothing even close. It was the greatest night of fighting ever. And it was the only night in the history of the sport where every single fight ended in a knockout.”
“I talked a bunch of people into going who didn’t want to. Like Shane Gillis was thinking about not going. I’m like, ‘Brother, you gotta go. It’s going to be epic. It’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Not a once-in-a-lifetime. Once-in-a-lifetime. It’s never happened before. It’s probably never going to happen again.’
Rogan went on to tell critics of the event to “shut up.”
‘Oh, you support Trump.’ Like it’s a battle in the White House. It does not mean that you support foreign policy. Like, shut up. Just please. Just please stop.”
“And again, it’s this thing, the ego thing, where people are just — they just want to — and definitely on both sides,” Rogan continued. “You know, the right is celebrating this as a victory for masculinity and patriotism and all these different things. Like, okay, settle down. Everybody calm down. You should all be together.”
