Joe Rogan will be skipping an upcoming UFC fight because he has zero interest in Canada's "terrible" government, declaring he'd rather go to Russia.

    How much exactly do you think Joe Rogan knows about the government of Canada? Pretty sure it’s around fuck all. He’s just a propagandist for the fascist regime at this point.

      Joe Rogan became convinced Trudeau was a dictator because of COVID restrictions.

      Like they say aboht him, knowledge a mile wide, and only an inch deep. He has been defending women beaters, rapists and anti intellectualism before he became an actual tool of the new regime.

      Whatever Fox News tells him about Canada is what he “knows” about Canada.

      Most of it will come from Jordan Peterson with his twisted, drug addled take. I think it goes back to his News Radio days from Dave Foley’s horror stories about his divorce however many decades ago that was. You just know Rogan’s wife is locked into an iron clad contract. Don’t nobody mess with Joe’s roll.

        Definitely got it from Peterson. Rogan has called Canada “communist” and claimed that people are being imprisoned here for posting criticism of “wokeness” on the Internet. Both of those claims echo Peterson’s idiocy, but the second one in particular is pretty much guaranteed to be straight from his mouth as it’s the exact “compelled speech” bullshit that earned him much of his early notoriety and, as far as I know, hasn’t really picked up traction with other alt-reich talking heads.

    Guest: continues batshit insane shit that contradicts that expressed opinion

    Rogan is such a little cuck. I bet he dreams about getting tag teamed by Donald and Elon. He wants those orange fat rolls and Donald’s diaper / shit / talcum-powder smelling flaccid cock ramming him in the face while Elon grinds into him from behind with his cybertruck body and broken, malfunctioning penis.

    Americans in general are such cowardly little bootlickers. They show off their big trucks and guns and pretend to be baddy “alpha males” then they get on the knees for Israel and Russia or any kind of genocidal regime that shows themselves to be in same league of sadism, decadence, and buffoonery.

        Joe Rogan is a fucking idiot who has done irreparable harm to millions of young men in this country, but… his MMA and BJJ credentials are legit. He would destroy Segall.

        I used to be a big MMA fan back in the day (way before Rogan’s shift right), and it was incredibly impressive how good he was at calling the fights. Specifically on the ground, he would often correctly predict the submission a fighter was going for like sometimes 30s before they did it. He could just tell by the positioning.

        Sucks that he’s a fucking fascist now.

          Pretty sure he stopped competing in any kind of martial arts long ago, and that was only ever Tae Kwon do. I’m sure he trains hard but seagull was a legitimate practitioner too and over a foot taller. Neither one would do much competing in the wild against anybody who wasn’t paid to lose to them now. Joe does love sharing that video of him kicking a bag hard though.

            Watch some of the stuff Segall has done in the past decade. He gets winded standing up. Or rather don’t -he’s basically Rogan in 10-20 years, physically and mentally.

              I don’t want to defend seagull in anyway. But Rogan stopped competing decades ago, as soon as he realized he wasn’t very good at anything but commenting on other people. He’s a paper tiger with a fragile ego. Any situation he’s in has to be totally in his control, including something as dumb as an arm wrestle with a subordinate or a “free speech” comedy club that has more security than the Pentagon. Epitome of a paper tiger.

              Yes he has trained lots. And lots. And lots. And long ago discovered he doesn’t like to get hit. And that his biggest fear is losing so he does everything in his power to avoid any situation where he’s not in a safe space.
