Joe Rogan has revealed all about his failed interview with Kamala Harris. The UFC commentator was asked to speak with the United States presidential candidate the day after her opponent, Donald Trump, appeared on his wildly popular podcast . However, a scheduling issue meant that J oe Rogan never interviewed the former Vice President.
Now the UFC fan favorite has explained his side of the story with Harris. READ MORE: Joe Rogan has one major concern ahead of Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford super fight UFC 308 derailed Joe Rogan – Kamala Harris interview During the most recent episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the MMA legend responded to claims that he was ‘difficult’ to deal with. Rogan explained that he was scheduled to cover UFC 308 on the day Harris and her team wanted to do their interview.
Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub , comedian Bryan Callen, and BJJ wizard Eddie Bravo had flown to Texas from California to watch the Abu Dhabi event with Rogan for a ‘Fight Companion’ podcast. “They wanted to do it that Saturday, the day after Trump. I said, ‘I’ll do it, but it has to be at 8:30am’,” Rogan revealed.
“The reason why was I had a podcast already scheduled that was a live UFC podcast. We do this thing called Fight Companion. “I flew in three of my buddies from California and we were all going to do this podcast together.
We had committed to doing this. Like, they were already in town. I can’t just say, ‘No guys I can’t do this awesome thing because I have to interview Kamala Harris’.
“It seems like I should to some people, but that’s because you’re in the politics business and I’m an MMA commentator – this is part of my job. I said I would do it, but it has to be like 8:30 in the morning because I have to be done by the time the fights start. That’s reasonable, they didn’t do that either.
” Joe Rogan explains the magnitude of UFC 308 As far as Rogan was concerned, UFC 308 was an unmissable card. Ilia Topuria knocked out Max Holloway in the main event, which was billed as two of the best featherweight fighters of all time coming together for a historic clash. The bout was made bigger by the fact Holloway slept Justin Gaethje a few months earlier to win their UFC 300 BMF title fight with just one second left on the clock.
Rogan added: “It was Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway. Just so you know for people listening that aren’t UFC fans, that was a gigantic fight. “Max Holloway had just beat Justin Gaethje in like literally the [best] knockout of all time.
Ilia Topuria is one of the absolutely best fighters in the world. If not number one pound-for-pound certainly number two or number three – he’s in the top five of the absolute best athletes in any weight class. “So, this was a clash of the titans.
The greatest featherweight champion of all time versus the current featherweight Champion. I’m not going to miss that! “You’ve got to understand. I’ll work around [it].
I’ll come back at night. I’ll do it at midnight. I don’t give a f—, I’ll do it.
It wasn’t me f—— someone over.”.
