AUSTIN, TEXAS: UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan engaged in a candid discussion with guest Cameron Hanes, expressing his unfiltered opinions on the renowned MMA fighter Conor McGregor. McGregor has undeniably become a prominent figure in the sports world as a successful MMA fighter, although his current popularity is waning.
The latest blow on McGregor came in the form of a distressing rape allegation made by a woman in Florida. According to the alleged victim, the incident took place on June 9 at the Kaseya Center, where she was reportedly escorted away from her friend by NBA and Miami Heat security personnel before entering a VIP men's restroom. These developments have undoubtedly contributed to a decline in McGregor's popularity and cast a shadow over his once-illustrious career.
'The guy earned every f**king penny'
Rogan recently shared his thoughts on McGregor's hiatus from fighting. Even before the emergence of any allegations, McGregor was often seen living a luxurious lifestyle. He attended the Monaco Grand Prix, where he shared videos of himself enjoying breakfast while spectating the race. Additionally, McGregor made an appearance at Australian musician Kylie Minogue's birthday celebration, showcasing images and videos of his partying.
During episode #1997 of 'The Joe Rogan Experience', Rogan and his guest Hanes discussed McGregor's unconventional lifestyle. Hanes expressed disappointment with McGregor seemingly wasting his remaining time as an athlete, urging him to prioritize training and preparation for his next fight over social events. In contrast, Rogan had a different viewpoint and expressed satisfaction with McGregor's chosen lifestyle.
Rogan stated, "Why do you become famous in the first place? Why do you become successful in the first place? So you can live like a f**king baller! And that’s what’s Conor’s been doing. Did you see him just yacht up to the f**king formula 1? So he’s watching the formula 1 while eating breakfast at the back of his yacht… I want him to do what he wants to do. If Conor McGregor wants to buy diamonds and lay around the sun, I’m there for it. The guy earned every f**king penny he got. I’m happy for him, I salute him.”
'McGregor is the ultimate party animal'
However, it's important to note that the podcast episode was recorded prior to the recent rape allegation against Conor McGregor in Florida. As a result, fans are curious and eager to hear Joe Rogan's response to these serious accusations.
One user wrote, "I suspect Joe would like to take back that "I want Connor to do whatever he wants to do" statement." Another user wrote, "McGregor is the ultimate party animal." One user stated, "An Irishman that likes to party I'm never heard of it."
