Joe Rogan makes joke about Russians at UFC 282 weigh-ins

Joe Rogan recently experienced a technical glitch with his microphone at the UFC 282 face-offs, and the 55-year-old cleverly swerved around the situation with some humor.

While interviewing Jan Blachowicz on stage, Rogan was in the middle of asking the Pole for his thoughts on his next opponent, Magomed Ankalaev, when the mic suddenly cut out. Rogan quickly took the opportunity to make a witty remark, humorously implying that Russia had something to do with the glitch. He said:

"The Russians. They're on us."

The host of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is no stranger to discussing topics like conspiracy theories and espionage on his show. His guests have ranged from scientists to spies and everyone in between, and hence, it should come as no surprise that Rogan's sense of humor is heavily influenced by topics such as alleged Russian clandestine activities.

Rogan will be seen reprising his role as the play-by-play commentator for the UFC 282 event on December 10 at the UFC 282 event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jan Blachowicz will face Magomed Ankalaev in the main event for the light heavyweight title.

In the co-main event, Paddy Pimblett will face Jared Gordon. Ilia Topuria vs. Bryce Mitchell and Darren Till vs. Dricus Du Plessis are also on the fight card.

Joe Rogan does not believe Dwayne Johnson sports a natural physique

Joe Rogan recently called out Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for not being honest about how he achieved his incredibly muscular physique. While Rogan has never been against the use of steroids per se, he does seem to draw the line at being honest about its usage.

On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast with Derek of More Plate More Dates, the popular podcaster stated that Johnson should join 'The Liver King' and make an apology on record to all his fans for not disclosing his real fitness methods. He stated:

"'The Rock' should come clean right now. Should make a video in response to the 'Liver King' video - 'I need to talk to you because 'The Rock's been lying'. There's not a fucking chance in hell that he's clean. Not a chance in hell. As big as 'The Rock' is, at 50...He's so massive and he's so different than when he was 30."

Rogan further talked about the importance of public figures like 'The Rock' acknowledging the responsibility they have towards their followers and fans. He iterated the importance of being honest about using steroids, lest someone is led astray.
