Joe Rogan Skips Kamala Harris Interview to Watch Ilia Topuria Fight
Joe Rogan shocked many when he skips an interview with U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris to watch the highly anticipated fight between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway. The popular commentator prioritized the epic UFC showdown over the political discussion, leaving fans and critics buzzing.
“They wanted to do the interview that Saturday, the day after I spoke with Donald Trump, but I told them it had to be at 8:30 in the morning. I had a live UFC podcast scheduled for the title fight between Topuria and Holloway,” Rogan shared on his show.
A Professional Decision
Rogan explained that the choice was straightforward: covering the UFC event was part of his job and a priority for his audience. “I couldn’t just tell my team to cancel the podcast because I had to interview Kamala Harris. That would be absurd. I’m an MMA commentator—this is what I do,” he pointed out.
The Topuria vs. Holloway fight was simply unmissable. Max Holloway was coming off a spectacular knockout against Justin Gaethje, hailed as one of the greatest ever. Meanwhile, Ilia Topuria stands as one of the top fighters on the planet right now.
A Clash of Titans
“This was a showdown between the greatest featherweight champion of all time and the current one. I wasn’t going to miss it!” Rogan declared.
Rogan’s decision sparked debate on social media, but his passion for mixed martial arts remains undeniable. At the end of the day, the commentator chose what fuels his passion, and for UFC fans, this fight was a historic event.
Joe Rogan proved that when it comes to MMA, there’s no compromise.
