Joe Rogan gets honest on Dana White’s Power Slap

Joe Rogan, who is often highly hailed as an analyst by Dana White, has now shared his honest opinion on the popular Power Slap League. Rogan referenced other popular and extreme sports while explaining his stance on the matter.

Speaking on the JRE MMA show, Rogan said, “I wouldn't do it. I'm fully in support of anybody doing whatever the f* * k they want to do. I'm like if you could bull ride, if you could BMX jump and skateboard and all that crazy sh** where people break their necks.”

He further added, “I feel like you should be able to do anything but I wouldn't do it. Like you have seen slap fighting. They get slapped unconscious. Just a slap. They are ready for it. They are like professional slappers. I watch those f...ng clips. I am one of those idiots.”

Fans and experts have often raised concerns about the safety of the participants, claiming that the contestants have a higher chance of getting CTE.
