Let’s put this straight and straightforward: is Joe Rogan hooking up?
The veteran cage commentator was on Saturday night at the UFC Apex for the UFC 258 to convene its first event of 2021 and his return gave us a very awkward moment with Polyana Viana.
Viana had just gotten an impressive win for the first time against Mallory Martin during her first straw weight phase on ESPN. With Rogan in the post-fight interview, this is how his conversation began:
Rogan: “Before I even talk about the fight, I want to know: what was it like to become famous for hitting that killer in Brazil?”
Viana, through translator Alex Davis: “It simply came to our notice then. Everyone still remembers it. I’m very happy because that inspired a lot of women to start taking self-defense classes. “
Yes, that is correct. Viana had just looked really well on winning his second straight fight, but for some strange reason, Rogan was interested in talking first about something that happened January 2019.
It was a viral story at the time broken by then-MMA Junkie reporter Fernanda Prates. But did you just read Rogan this week?
Although he was so uncomfortable, though, Rogan joined other commentators Jon Anik and Daniel Cormier, and wasn’t quite ready to stop talking about the story of the raptors. This is what was said on the air before going to a commercial:
Rogan: “We talked about it during the break, but that fight, that thing I had in Brazil, we didn’t really talk about it, did we? Here’s a viral image of a man with his face beaten to hell, and it’s because of this woman. He tried to wrap her up and she pulled out her mucus. It became part of multiple memes. “
Cormier: “He’s famous for being beaten …”
Rogan: “For a beautiful woman, too! What a terrible life! ”
Oh, the creepy one.
