Morning Report: Joe Rogan: I shouldn’t have said Ronda Rousey could beat half the male bantamweights in the UFC

Sometimes all it takes is a good old-fashioned beatdown to make you see the error of your ways. Fortunately for Joe Rogan, he wasn’t the one who had to take one for him to figure out that some of his previous takes on Ronda Rousey were scalding hot.

At the height of Rousey’s dominance, her cross-over appeal was such that non-MMA fans began speculating on who could possibly beat her and some of the opinions were rather outlandish. One of the major #hottakes during this time was the idea that Rousey would be more than a match for many of the male bantamweights in the UFC, an idea Joe Rogan himself help perpetuate.
