The YouTube comedian then revealed Rogan had an emotional reaction to the viral moment. \u201cI don\u2019t know if you and Rogan spoke, but I was talking to him about it and he said it made him tear up man,\u201d he said. The UFC Champion put his hand over his heart and responded, \u201cI love that man.\u201d Israel Adesanya then opened up further about why he defended the JRE podcast host. \u201cWe know what\u2019s going on. That\u2019s why I said f**k the noise,\u201d he said. \u201cDon\u2019t focus on what they want you to focus on, focus on why they\u2019re cancelling Rogan. Why now?\u201d The UFC fighter then revealed his suspicions about the origin of the Rogan slur video. \u201cDo you know how much manpower it takes to go through every single episode of the JRE?\u201d he asked. \u201cThey probably had a whole team on that s**t. Trying to find every time he used the word. They would have had like 10 people on that s**t. And it\u2019s just like, why now? Just use your brain.\u201d The Middleweight Champion clarified that while Rogan was wrong to have said racial slurs, he believed his apology was sincere. \u201cYeah, he was wrong. He shouldn\u2019t have said that. He said \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d and that was the most sincere apology I\u2019ve ever seen. Not some scripted, Hollywood, my manager wrote this down for me. I\u2019m like, what more do you want?!\u201d Israel Adesanya also shared his theory on why the JRE podcast was being cancelled. \u201cHe has the biggest platform on planet earth. He can\u2019t be controlled,\u201d he said. \u201cSo the people, the powers that be, are like let\u2019s cancel him.\u201d The star predicted that another wave of controversy around Rogan would pop up as his critics will keep trying to get him removed from Spotify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
