When Joe Rogan was baffled by UFC’s decision regarding Mackenzie Dern: "This is really bizarre"

Joe Rogan often makes observations about a wide array of subjects on his podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience. From MMA and boxing to entertainment, politics, and science, his guests come from diverse backgrounds.

The famed podcaster and UFC commentator was once left surprised after the UFC made a "bizarre" move regarding Mackenzie Dern.

The 57-year-old referred to her first interview after her promotional debut in the UFC at UFC 222. She defeated Ashley Yoder by a split decision and a translator was sent in to help Mackenzie Dern communicate with the fans and Rogan. However Dern responded to every question translated to her in Portuguese with fluent English.

Sharing his thoughts, Joe Rogan expressed his astonishment at the UFC's decision:

"I was super confused when I interviewed her when she won in the UFC. They wanted a translator, and I was like, what are you talking about! like she speaks perfect English, like this is really bizzare. So, Jorge Gurgel came in with me and he's like, just in case she gets up messed up anymore ...it's like, I didn't even question, I was like, 'Okay. I was confused, 'But wait a minute, I know she speaks perfect English.'"

Watch Rogan recall the moment below (0:47):

Mackenzie Dern holds dual nationalities of Brazil and America. She was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Dern speaks both English and Portuguese, terming the latter as her primary language due to her family's influence.

When Joe Rogan blasted the Ukrainian president and Joe Biden for trying to start a "World War"

Joe Rogan has not held back his criticism when it comes to his views on president Joe Biden.

He has been training his gun on the US leader for some time now on his podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience. In one such segment of his famous podcast, he took aim at US president Biden and the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The popular UFC color commentator blamed both leaders for trying to start a world war before the inauguration of Donald Trump's second tenure as the president.

Expressing his anger at Biden, Rogan said:

"They are launching missiles into Russia. How are you allowed to do that when you are on your way out? The people don't want you to be there anymore. There should be some kind of a pause for significant actions that could potentially start a third world war. Maybe that would be a good thing that we would like to avoid from a dying former president."

He continued and came down on Zelenskyy:

"Zelensky says Putin is terrified. F**k you man, f**k you people. You f**king people are about to start World War III."
