Comedians do that - Rashad Evans says UFC ‘should stand by Joe Rogan’ despite ‘off-color remarks’

Longtime UFC color commentator Joe Rogan has been taking a lot of heat lately.

Recently, the 54-year-old podcaster and stand-up comedian got flak for promoting misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. He was also chastised for the repeated use of the N-word after a video compilation from podcast episodes from years ago had surfaced, leading to Spotify pulling now over a hundred episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience from its platform.

As many would probably expect, many in the UFC and MMA community sided with Rogan. One of the recent additions to that list is former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans, who had this to say in a recent TMZ Sports interview.
