Overview
- On Bert Kreischer’s podcast, Ronda Rousey said Joe Rogan “is not an expert,” calling him “a fan with an audience” who “never fought,” and she rejected taekwondo as “not fighting.”
- Rousey reiterated that only a $1 billion payday would get her to fight again after lighthearted haggling over lower figures, and there remains no confirmed comeback bout.
- Kreischer, a close friend of Rogan, appeared uncomfortable during the exchange and quickly shifted the conversation after trying to cite Rogan’s taekwondo background.
- Rogan has decades of martial-arts experience and is a longtime UFC commentator, yet he has never competed in professional MMA.
- The remarks follow Rousey’s past claims that MMA media, including Rogan, turned on her after her 2015–2016 losses, and reaction online ranged from support for her critique to defenses of Rogan’s standing.
