Does Joe Rogan want to have a chat with Vladimir Putin? The UFC commentator clears his stance

The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) is one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Famous UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan, has hosted many high-profile individuals like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg on his podcast. However, one person he is not too keen to chat with is Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Talking to fellow comedian Bert Kreischer on the #1954 episode of JRE, Rogan called into question Putin's character and dubbed him an "evil" person while detailing why he wouldn't consider going to Russia at Putin's behest:

"Nay! Why would you do that... That's a different kind of human... [What would I do, do I tell him] Hey, forget about all those people you killed that were your political opponents. Let's be cool now. Just be a different person now. A totally different human with a totally different background that wasn't in the KGB, that isn't a dictator. That doesn't control information, that doesn't control what news gets distributed to your people."

Joe Rogan added:

"Thats doesn't have a lockdown on the internet and is in complete control over the oligarchs in the country to the point where they are soo embedded with you, that when you go to war with Ukraine they steal the oligarchs' yachts. They confiscate them because they shouldn't have the money that they have, because the only way they have the money they have is they're in cahoots with you and you're obviously evil."

Joe Rogan says Vladimir Putin is a "legitimate" judo black belt

UFC color commentator Joe Rogan believes Russian President Vladimir Putin has real judo skills.

Talking to fellow comic Ryan Long during the #1944 episode of JRE, Rogan stated that Putin's judo techniques were perfect. He also suggested that since the Russian president is ex-KGB, he is bound to have serious martial arts skills.

As per Rogan, Putin is as legitimate as any high-level back belt instructor at a judo academy:

"He is actually legit with judo... He is an actual black belt. Putin is a legitimate black belt. Like, when you watch him throw people around... 100% he is legit. He used to be a KGB guy, you know what I'm saying... When you watch him do judo, like 100% that's real skill... He definitely knows his s**t. If I saw that guy teaching at a Judo academy, who is a black belt and who is an instructor. I would say yes, legitimate."
