Speaking recently on his podcast, Rogan spoke about McGregor’s lifestyle.
He said: “Why do you become successful in the first place? So you can live like a f**king baller!
“And that’s what Conor’s been doing… so he’s watching Formula 1 while eating breakfast at the back of his yacht.”
Fellow presenter Cameron Hanes said: “But you can party and be a mad man when you are 40?.”
This led to Rogan replying with: “But you can do it now and that’s what he wants to do.”
Hanes then said: “I’m sick of it, I want to see him in the gym.”
Rogan then added: “I want him to do what he wants to do. If Conor McGregor wants to buy diamonds and lay around the sun, I’m all there for it. The guy earned every f*king penny he got. I’m happy for him.”
In response to Rogan, McGregor took to social media and wrote: “Love you Joe!”
Last week, UFC boss Dana White was asked about a potential fight between McGregor and Michael Chandler, he said: “Eventually. Hopefully this year. There is no date. I’m hoping for the fall. [Hopefully] we get it done in the fall.”
Speaking in January, Chandler told MMA Fighting: “I’m not going to lie to you and say there weren’t moments of frustration.
“Moments of, ‘Screw it, fight somebody else!’ That’s what everybody was saying I should do for months now.”
He added: “But I signed my name to this contract, made this commitment. I want to fight Conor. He wants to fight me. It’s just not on everybody’s timeline.”
