Popular podcast host Joe Rogan pushed back against recent claims from the Harris campaign suggesting he was the one who torpedoed negotiations for an interview.

Rogan, a member of the UFC broadcast team as a color commentator since UFC 37.5 in 2002, has scaled back his broadcast work since Mike Goldberg's departure at the end of 2016. At present, the long-time martial arts enthusiast only covers domestic pay-per-view events each year and is no longer assigned to every event.
