“That’s my n**ga”- Israel Adesanya offers his support to Joe Rogan amid numerous controversies

The UFC 271 pre-fight press conference took off and UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya seems to be the leading man of the show, especially with his address of whatever is happening revolving around the past, allegedly racist remarks from decade-old videos of UFC colour commentator Joe Rogan.

Rogan, alongside having a desk job at the UFC, is also a comedian and a podcast kingpin known for his world-famous podcast titled the Joe Rogan Experience. Rogan was recently first caught off guard by the public of a particular political stance and accused of spreading misinformation on Covid vaccination, which is quite debatable and not an undisputed claim yet since many people came out to defend him. Because of this, Rogan has been allegedly blamed for being a racist as well due to a video in which he said the word “Ni**a.” In what context the word was used, that is also getting quite debated now.

Israel Adesanya calls for Joe Rogan to “F**K the noise”

In UFC 271 pre-fight press conference starring Adesanya himself, his opponent Robert Whittaker and co-main event fighters Tai Tuivasa and Derreck Lewis, A question was obviously raised on Rogan since he’s associated with the company for being the face of the commentary team for the past 2 plus decades.

“First off let me take this one. Hold on I’m black I can take this one” says Adesanya after a question on Rogan’s controversy was originally directed for UFC Presiden Dana White to answer “…There is a lot of cu**s in this game there are a lot of snakes in this game and I’ve been in this fight game since 2008. And Joe Rogan is one of the nicest, coolest, humble motherfu**ers I’ve had the pleasure of working with,“ says Adesanya as the crowd goes roaring in support of him and Rogan.

“Understand that you know what this is. F**k the noise man you know what they’re trying to do. You can’t control the man and he’s got the biggest platform in the world right now. So that’s my Ni**a Joe Rogan, f**k the noise,” concluded Adesanya.

What do you make of Adesanya’s support for Rogan? Do you think he did the right thing addressing the question himself instead of letting White do it? Who do you think wins the rematch at UFC 271 between Adesanya and Whittaker? And, who do you think wins the co-main between heavyweights, seasoned knockout artists Tai Tuivasa and Derreck Lewis? It’s rather surprising to see how far the Rogan controversy will stretch on as it’s still not over.
