Joe Rogan has dropped a bomb by deciding to skip UFC 315 in Montreal, stirring controversy as he cites travel and political concerns about Canada.
See the tweet below!
The MMA community is abuzz, given Rogan’s longstanding presence and intense commentary that fans have grown to love.
His absence raises questions about how the event will unfold without his familiar insight.
Joe Rogan, a fixture in the UFC for nearly three decades, will not be attending UFC 315 because he refuses to travel to Canada.
Rogan, expressing dissatisfaction, stated, “I won’t be there. I don’t go to Canada anymore,” cited by KBGO.
This decision doesn’t come as a total shock since Rogan has been reducing his involvement in international events.
His criticism stems from the Canadian government’s handling of issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the vaccine mandate trucker protests.
“I don’t go to Canada anymore,” Rogan said.
He humorously mentioned he would rather attend events in Russia over Canada, sparking mixed reactions online.
His comments come at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Canada, prompted by past trade policies and Trump’s suggestion that Canada joins the U.S. as a 51st state.
This isn’t the first time Rogan has missed a major event. He also skipped UFC 312 in London.
For UFC 315, held at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Michael Bisping is anticipated to fill in.
The event still promises excitement with bouts like Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena for the Welterweight Title, ensuring fans aren’t entirely left disappointed.
Will Rogan’s absence affect the UFC 315 experience? Fans await to see if the powerhouse commentary usually brought by Rogan can be matched by his replacement.
