Joe Rogan has reacted after receiving support from UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya during Thursday’s presser.<\/p>\n

The longtime UFC commentator, Rogan, has been under fire in recent weeks surrounding comments made on his popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience”.<\/p>\n

Rogan was first scrutinized for spreading “dangerous misinformation<\/a>” about Covid-19, which was swiftly followed by accusations of racism<\/a> for his previous use of the N-Word.<\/p>\n

Many current and former UFC fighters immediately came to bat<\/a> for Joe Rogan in light of the recent controversy, including middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m black, I can take this one. There\u2019s a lot of c***s in this game. There\u2019s a lot of snakes in this game, I\u2019ve been in this fight game since 2008. Joe Rogan is one of the nicest, coolest, humble motherf***ers I\u2019ve had the pleasure of working with. F**k the noise, you know what they\u2019re trying to do. You can\u2019t control the man, and he has the largest platform in the world right now.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 said Adesanya at the UFC 271 press conference.<\/p>\n

Those comments were well received by Rogan who responded by sharing the video on Instagram<\/a> with the caption: “<\/em>Much love and respect to the great and powerful Stylebender”<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n
