    He created/revived the long form interview format that everyone said would go over like a lead balloon in the short attention span Tik-Tok zeitgeist but instead is the biggest podcast in the world. And because of this, he gets the best and hottest guests. He actually has a talent at interviewing. It;'s not about him. it's about his guests.

    Rogan is an easy target because he's the biggest target. But most of those aiming their snark haven't listened to more than 20 minutes of him.

    those 11 million people have already broken their brains by listening to Rogan.

    No further damage is needed.

    This is weird, never seen that many Joe Rogan haters in such a small group of people, he is actually really popular as a interviewer, sorry, rarely people dislike him, hope this ain't some old fashion boxing vs mma "rivalry" that doesn't really exist anymore outside of countries where MMa is not popular like europe.

    Popular doesn't necessarily mean good quality.

    Nothing against MMA btw. I don't follow it but I have nothing against it.

    I actually don't think Bruce Lee cracking Ali with a head kick in a no rules/mma situation is that out of the question, Ali would have no idea how to block it properly and could easily end up with broken forearms, Ali didn't have some sort of magical adapt to different martial arts styles ability, he got his legs damaged badly from a Japanese wrestler sitting on the floor throwing kicks that didn't have half the speed or power of Lee

    I think what's more outlandish is hugging Ali's nuts so hard that he is perceived as invincible, in a no rules/mma type fight Ali loses more than he wins, Bas Rutten would kill him, imagine Ali getting slammed for the first time by someone like Kevin Randleman

    Ali would definitely lose to Bas Rutten, no doubt about it. Nothing controversial about what you said.

    MMA has some exceptional athletes competing in it. However, just because a lot of people listen to Joe Rogan does n't mean he's accurate, reliable or worth listening to though.

    there is a video (I've only seen one but there are probably more) with someone calling out a Rogan episode where the guest is telling a story that is a lie and Rogan either doesn't know better or he's going along with it

    Peak Muhammad Ali had a weak chin because he got knocked down by Sonny Banks in 1962 and Henry Cooper in June 1963. Haven't any of you ever failed or had a hard time on a exam? Those fights for Ali were a learning experience, he was overconfident against Cooper. But what happened on May 21 1966 as champion, Ali cut up Cooper worse, there were no knockdowns this time, Ali learned his lesson from the 1963 bout and carved up Henry, TKO 6.

    Good one,Richard. I've come across quite a few fools who accuse Muhammad of being chinny because of those knockdowns,totally forgetting that Cooper's left hook was a peach of a punch. Just as some idiots accuse Joe Frazier of being chinny simply because he was battered by arguably the hardest punching heavyweight ever.

    The notion that Arturo Gatti couldn’t have killed himself because he showed so much heart in the ring and wouldn’t quit.

    He may have been murdered, but that “logic” is stupid and ridiculous.
