Joe Rogan had Dana White and Tony Hinchcliffe on his podcast this week and they discussed Ronda Rousey’s loss to Holly Holm. Rogan expressed the he felt bad for Rousey as a person, but thought that loss was actually a great thing for martial arts:
“As a person, I’m sad for [Rousey’s] loss, that this happened to her,” Rogan said on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast,which published Monday. “But Holly Holm is a great person, too. They’re two great competitors. And I think ultimately what happened last night, yesterday is great for martial arts. It’s great for MMA. Even though it was terrible for Ronda and I feel terrible for her, I feel great for Holly Holm. It’s very conflicted.”
