Rogan: Tate deserves more money
Joe Rogan recently discussed the unclear structure of the UFC’s pay scale and how it relates to Miesha Tate’s recent comments about her possible retirement.
On a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan commented on the unclear structure of the UFC’s pay scale and how it relates to Miesha Tate’s recent comments about a potential retirement:
“That’s one of the bad things about the UFC that people don’t like,” Rogan said. “There isn’t any clear structure. When Miesha Tate won she was virtually guaranteed a shot at the title. ‘Beat Jessica Eye, you’ve got a shot at the title.’ She beats Jessica Eye, ‘Eh, listen, you’re not ready for that.’ What?
“She made some interview recently where she said she should probably think about what she’s going to do when she retires. That she should probably at least consider that. Whoa. She’s thinking about retiring?”
Rogan continue to his expand on his thoughts, commenting that Tate despite losing to Rousey more than once, we just as marketable an athlete:
“It’s not like she’s not hot,” said Rogan. “She’s hot as f**k, right? She’s got a beautiful body. Great ass. Sorry I said that. Sorry, Miesha. All due respect, but she’s a great fighter, too. She’s very tough. Miesha probably makes a very small fraction of what Ronda makes and she’s elite. She’s an outstanding fighter. She’s tough as shit and people love her. It’s weird.”
