UFC President Dana White commented on the situation with the absence of Joe Rogan at the 271st tournament of the promotion.
“The reason for Joe Rogan's absence is a scheduling conflict. He simply could not work in this tournament. What was he doing? It is better to ask him about it. There was no suspension. All this is complete nonsense. When Joe can work, he will return,” the functionary said at a press conference.
Recall, UFC 271 was held on February 13 in Houston. In the main event of the evening Israel Adesanya defended his middleweight championship belt from encroachment Robert Whittaker.
