JOE ROGAN Could Be In Hot Water, For His Comments On Fedor/Couture Match

Yeah this doesn't say anything about the reactions of anyone from Zuffa to Joes comments, he says stuff like this all the time outside the UFC too.

Later.

They have someone. His name is Joe Rogan.

Agreed.

And, FYI.. these comments are OLD.


Rogan said this in a video interview probably a month or so ago

It could easily have taken place in the UFC.... still could. Dana is really the man with his finger on the button.

its nothing different from rogan comments in the past. rogan never flies a company flag. he is always interested in good fights no matter where they take place. he talked about pride on the air many times. i doubt the ufc does anything to him. he didn't say anything bad about dana or the ufc and only made possative comments about bettering the sport.

If Rogan hasn't gotten into trouble yet, this interview certainly won't. Look at some of his previous moments that should have gotten him in trouble.....

.....condoned steroid and hormone therapy

.....is interviewed at an event and admits he's high as a kite, then shows the camera his stash.

......called out the UFC for their handling of Tito Ortiz

This time Joe never said anything negative about the UFC, just that he wanted to see the fight and would watch it when it happens. Shit Dana White himself would watch it. Hell he's even be front row for it.

I doubt much will come of this, but you never know with D Whitey...

[BigBanda]

Just because a fighter is not under contract to the UFC does not mean employees of the UFC no longer want to see a fight they saw as a dream fight just previously. That is just silly. Only reason Dana is watering down Fedor now is for business purposes to make it seem like not signing Fedor was not a big deal. Only thing legit about Fedor is the "fact" that he has not fought any legit or worthy opponents in a while.

Anyways like was said.. this is all an assumption that Dana "might" be mad or something. Someone wrote this column to stir some shit up.

If Dana White is mad at Joe Rogan for THAT????? SO THE FUCK WHAT?!?!?! Dana can't do JACK SHIT to Joe Rogan for making those statements. In the US there's a little something called the Bill of Rights, and first on that list is Freedom of Speech.

Now I know theres a few knuckle heads who are wanting to flame me by saying something to the nature of "well we arent talking about the laws of the land. We are talking about the laws of ZUFFA and Rogan broke those laws."

BULLSHIT. Rogan didnt promote another company, he didnt say anything that would hurt ZUFFA/UFC in a business sense, he simply stated that the more MMA there is to watch, the better. Who ever wrote that article is a damn retard.
