Joe Rogan Snubs Guest Begging for Podcast Appearance on Live TV

The popular podcast host snubbed a former UFC champion despite them asking to be on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan is yet to welcome one UFC legend on to his podcast despite the fighter asking to come one live on television.

Since starting his now famous podcast back in 2009, Rogan has recorded thousands of episodes with several of the biggest names in the world including Mike Tyson, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk.

Given the fact that he has worked as a commentator for the UFC for 28 years, the 58-year-old has also spoken to several of the biggest names in the sport during episodes of his podcast.

Recent episodes with the likes of current lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and former champions Max Holloway and Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson remain some of the most popular in recent years.

But there is one UFC star that Rogan appears to have snubbed after he went out of his way to ask the podcast host to have him on the show live on TV.

Despite only enjoying a short career within the UFC, Brock Lesnar is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable and notable fighters in the history of the organisation.

Just nine months after losing his UFC debut in a fight with rival Frank Mir, the American claimed the heavyweight title with a TKO victory over Randy Couture at UFC 91 in November 2008.

Lesnar went on to fight five more times in the UFC before making a historic move to join the WWE, where he also reigned as champion on several occasions.

Such a successful career across two of the biggest organisations in fight entertainment would suggest that Lesnar would be the perfect guest for an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, and yet he has not featured in any episode.

And it appears that this is not due to a lack of trying from Lesnar, as the former UFC champion once approached Rogan to ask to come on the podcast while he was commentating live at UFC 226 in July 2018.

Approaching Rogan live on TV, Lesnar said: "How you doing man? I'd like to do your podcast sometime."

Although the UFC commentator immediately replies that he would have him on any time, fans are still waiting on Lesnar's anticipated appearance on an episode of the popular podcast.

It has been suggested that Lesnar's behaviour later that evening as he stormed into the octagon following Daniel Cormier's win over Stipe Miocic could explain Rogan's decision not to host Lesnar, after the former champion threw the microphone out of Rogan's hands.

But, with Lesnar set to return to the WWE ring for the first time in over two years to face John Cena at Wrestlepalooza this weekend following his shock return at Summerslam in August, now may be the perfect time for him to finally feature on the podcast.
