Israel Adesanya gives fired-up defense of Joe Rogan

It wasn’t even a question directed at Israel Adesanya, but he passionately intercepted it when it was asked.

At the UFC 271 pre-fight news conference, promotion president Dana White was asked about recent controversies involving commentator Joe Rogan, which included hosting controversial guests and a resurfaced montage video of him using a the “N-word.”

White didn’t get a chance to answer, as Adesanya took it upon himself to hold court. The UFC middleweight champion passionately defended the UFC commentator and advised him to block out negative comments.
