Joe Rogan responds to criticism, explains why he interviewed Conor McGregor at UFC 264

Conor McGregor screamed obscenities at Dustin Poirier and his wife following their trilogy bout at UFC 264, but some people feel the situation could have been avoided altogether.

UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan has come under fire for interviewing McGregor following the fight, with some fans arguing that ‘The Notorious’ wasn’t in the right head space to conduct an interview following such a devastating, career-threatening injury.

Rogan, in a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, explained he felt obliged to interview McGregor after the former UFC two-division champ called him over for a chat.
