Joe Rogan recently took to Instagram and revealed that he’d contracted COVID-19. The beloved UFC personality reassured his fans, however, that he’s well on the road to recovery. On that note, Chael Sonnen has released a video jokingly requesting Rogan give him his iconic black shirt if the podcaster succumbs to COVID-19. Sonnen stated:
“Joe Rogan, thoughts go out to you. And, guys, Joe Rogan got COVID. He made this very public. Joe has a bit of an iconic black shirt; solid black. He’s called shows in it. It’s fitted, larger in the chest, made for big arms, kind of tight around the waist. I don’t want anything to happen to Joe. (But) if…If something happens, that shirt, Joe, can I have it?”
Rogan, a longtime UFC commentator and MMA analyst, has often sported a black shirt while working as part of the commentary team at UFC events.
In fact, one of the most recent events Joe Rogan worked at – the blockbuster UFC 264 fight card headlined by MMA megastar Conor McGregor – saw him sport the shirt. Rogan donned the shirt during the infamous post-fight octagon interview with an injured McGregor.
