Is this how far our reputation has fallen?
America needs to save the good ones out of this lot and do NOT believe the b.s coming from our Security Industrial Complex. Unless they manufacture threats and need to lie in order to justify their existence and lack of accountability.
It seems Joe Rogan has heard about what we represent and doesn't want to be a part of it, doesn't want to support us. A shame I suppose but not a surprise, especially as someone who has been persecuted and shared these details with so many agencies in the U.S among other nations.
Joe Rogan has said he will not be working at UFC 315 in May, as he would “rather go to Russia” than Canada, where the event will play out.
UFC 315 is scheduled for 10 May at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, and given the fight card’s status as a pay-per-view event, many fans expected Rogan to be on commentary duties for the UFC.
However, the American has played down the idea. Speaking on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience on Saturday, the 57-year-old said: “I won’t be there. I don’t go to Canada anymore, I don’t. I’d rather go to Russia.”
Rogan was also absent from UFC 297, which took place in Toronto in January 2024, so his decision to skip UFC 315 is not necessarily a major surprise. In general, Rogan tends not to work at international UFC events anymore, having cited the amount of travel as an offputting factor.
However, the feeling is that Rogan’s decision could be linked to his support of US President Donald Trump, who recently implemented costly tariffs on goods from abroad, including Canada, causing a ‘trade war’.
Furthermore, Trump has joked that he could try to make Canada the 51st US state – something that Rogan addressed on the same episode of his podcast.
“I had a conversation with Trump about it,” Rogan said. “He goes: ‘I started calling him Governor [Justin] Trudeau just for fun, but a lot of people are saying good idea. Maybe it is a good idea!’”
Rogan and Trump were referring to former Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, who recently resigned from his position.
