Fellow broadcaster Laura Sanko has weighed in on UFC colleague Joe Rogan.
Sanko, a regular member of the UFC’s broadcast team on ESPN, primarily with backstage fighter interviews, is not standing up for Rogan’s recent controversies, per se. But she also doesn’t think he should be given a proverbial life sentence with no chance for redemption.
Rogan has come under fire in recent weeks. The longtime UFC analyst, whose “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast was bought by Spotify in 2020 for a reported $100 million, was the target of nearly 300 doctors and scientists, who sent a letter to Spotify asking the streaming platform to put a stop to what it deemed COVID-19 misinformation after Rogan had Dr. Robert Malone on his show in December. Rogan has had guests with other controversial opinions on the pandemic on his show, as well.
