Bryce Mitchell is set to headline UFC Vegas 64 on November 5th, but after his opponent pulled out with an injury he’s not exactly sure who he’ll end up fighting. He’s not letting that uncertainty bother him. Instead of fretting about a replacement opponent, he’s decided to call out Joe Rogan over the comedian’s claims that the earth isn’t flat.<\/p>\n
Rogan has held some unusual beliefs over the years. He once argued with Neil deGrasse Tyson for over an hour about the moon landing being a hoax. He’s also spent several months searching for Bigfoot in the backwoods of America. But he’s never been a believer in the flat earth conspiracy theory. It’s one of the few topics that he’ll shut down outright on The Joe Rogan Experience rather than debate it.<\/p>\n
Bryce Mitchell wants to change Joe’s mind. The UFC featherweight took to social media with a video calling out Rogan for his ignorant stance on flat earth.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m here to call out Joe Rogan for talking crap about me and talking crap about my mama,” Mitchell declared. “He\u2019s been doing it too long. Me and my mama will tell you right now: this earth is flat. It ain\u2019t moving around at no 6000 miles per hour, spinning at 1000 miles per hour and floating through the universe constantly. This earth is flat, it\u2019s fixed, and the stars rotate around us. The sun rotates around us. I can prove that!”<\/p>\n
“I would love to debate you, Joe Rogan, because I\u2019m tired of you making fun of flat earthers,” Mitchell continued. “If you\u2019re so confident, come and debate me buddy. Because I\u2019m tired of this stuff that you\u2019re posting. I\u2019m just so sick and tired of hearing your crap, Joe, ’bout flat earthers being stupid. Boy, I\u2019ll smoke you in a debate. I\u2019ll smoke you and there ain\u2019t nothing you can do to beat me in a debate, brother, because you ain\u2019t got no proof.”<\/p>\n
While we wouldn’t describe Joe Rogan as a crusader against flat earth theory as Mitchell seems to imply, he certainly mocks it when it comes up. For a while his producer Young Jamie was selling ‘Round Earth Shill’ shirts<\/a> on his website, and around the same time Rogan shared a link to a video debunking all the standard flat earth arguments.<\/p>\n
\nPlease send this to anyone that thinks the earth is flat. Thanks! https:\/\/t.co\/uEXLGf2K8V<\/a><\/p>\n
