Joe Rogan actively participates in political commentary through his podcasts. With only a few weeks till the election, the political situation in the United States is quite unpredictable. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris recently had a debate that captured the interest of millions. The entire argument was riddled with contentious issues, and Rogan had a field day discussing them with Tom Segura.

Joe Rogan has often found himself in the middle of controversies and has been targeted by the cancel culture. From the COVID-19 vaccine saga to the N-Word controversy, Rogan has been through all and never yielded. This time, Rogan discussed Donald Trump’s assertions that immigrants are eating cats and other pets. While talking about it, Rogan suggested an explanation for this to occur. 

I think some people are eating cats. You get a bunch of people that are from an Island where they occasionally eat cats and you throw them in the city.

Rogan has met Donald Trump quite a few times during his visit to UFC pay-per-view events. Trump is a huge fan of the UFC and is close to many top fighters in the promotion, such as Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal, Bo Nickal, and others. Recently, he invited former double champion Henry Cejudo, a second-generation immigrant, to give a speech during the Republican rally.

Rogan also discussed the ongoing immigration problem in the United States. He believes legal immigration is ‘awesome’ but advocates for a better system to address illegal immigration. The UFC itself is full of stories about immigrant fighters making it big in America. Merab Dvalishvili recently accomplished something similar at Noche UFC, and Rogan was there to witness it. 

Joe Rogan shared his unreal experience of Noche UFC at the iconic Las Vegas Sphere 

Last weekend, the UFC held their biggest pay-per-view event of 2024 at the Las Vegas Sphere. Noche UFC was a dream project for Dana White, who wanted to give a ‘Love letter to Mexico’ on Mexican Independence Day. UFC left no stone unturned and collaborated with some incredible talents to give an unmatched visual experience to the fans.

On top of that, UFC played a movie that continued throughout the fight card with hidden Easter eggs. It was never seen before with fans repeatedly admiring the work the promotion did for the event.

Joe Rogan was on the commentary team and shared his first experience of going into the Sphere. Rogan was awestruck and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. 

The event was a monumental success, becoming the highest-ever gate in the promotion’s history. Though White was not a fan of the championship fights, the out-of-the-world experience of the Sphere compensated for it. With this, the UFC has raised the bar, and fans are excited about more such thematic pay-per-view events in the future.
