Rogan lives and breathes mixed martial arts, and as we all know, speaks his mind without mincing his words. So, when he was pitted against American Boxing promoter Lou Dibella in a UFC vs. Boxing debate on ESPN, it was expected to be a healthy argument between two representatives of two varying sports with a similar business model.
However, Dibella's hostility towards the UFC and lack of knowledge about MMA, in general, didn't go down too well with the UFC veteran. Rogan went onto verbally obliterate Dibella, who had seemingly taken the debate all too personally. Dibella misjudged Rogan's understanding of boxing and its history and accused him of knowing nothing about the sport. Rogan fired back by stating he was a fan of boxing before underlying the fact that it was a dying breed and getting swallowed by other advanced forms of combat.
Rogan was on fire in this one as he left Dibella looking like an arrogant fool.
