”I shouldn’t have said it at the time,” säger Rogan.

Under 2015 var Ronda Rousey (12-2) på toppen av världen och dominerade alla sina matcher i UFC:s bantamviktsdivision för damer, något som fick UFC:s expertkommentator Joe Rogan att påstå att hon antagligen kunde slå hälften av UFC:s manliga bantamviktsutövare.
Det var redan då ett kontroversiellt uttalande, och nu ser det ut som om Rogan tar ett steg tillbaka från utspelet. Under det senaste avsnittet av ”The Joe Rogan Experience” diskuterade Rogan sina överdrivna beskrivningar av Rousey innan hennes förluster mot Holly Holm och Amanda Nunes:
“I’m not happy that Ronda Rousey lost, but in a way, it makes things easier because there was a bunch of f—king people that were going, ‘Oh yeah, what about Ronda Rousey? She’d beat…” And I made the mistake of saying — hyperbole, I’m the master of hyperbole, I exaggerate all the time — I was like, ‘She could probably beat half the men bantamweights in the UFC.’
“No, that’s definitely not true. I shouldn’t have said it at the time,” säger Rogan och skrattar. “Now, it’s definitely not true.
“She could beat a few, that aren’t good outside the sport,” fortsätter Rogan. “Look, if she gets guys on the ground she could f—k a lot of people up. Her Judo is 100% legit, her armbars are amongst the best in the business, but people were always saying that. Now that she’s lost everyone’s relaxed with that.”
