Hasan\u2019s uncle Cenk Uygur wants to fight Joe Rogan for mere $1,000 donation YouTubeThe uncle of popular Twitch streamer Hasan, Cenk Uygur, has thrown down the gauntlet and wants to fight legendary podcast host Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan has come under fire recently thanks to his controversial positions on global health issues and The Young Turks host was just one of many people to call him out. Uygur\u2019s criticism of Rogan landed him in hot water with fans of the JRE podcast, but he didn\u2019t back down, taking to Twitter to have at them. \u201cTo all the loser Joe Rogan fans crying over my attack on his \u2018freedom\u2019 hypocrisy and stupidity, are you guys part of the crew or do you kiss his ass for fun?\u201d he rhetorically asked. \u201cI thought he was a big boy who could handle himself. If he doesn\u2019t like my free speech, he can grow a pair and defend himself.\u201d I’ll make a 1000 dollar donation to your trash network or your charity of choice to see you call Rogan who is not only the most successful podcast in history but also a black belt in mixed martial arts, a loser to his face. \u2014 MisterM (@I_MisterM_I) September 30, 2021 This prompted a fan to challenge Cenk to make his comments to Rogan\u2019s face with the caveat that if he did, the fan would donate $1,000 to his network or charity of his choice. \u201cDeal. Easiest $1,000 I ever made,\u201d Cenk blasted back. \u201cYou think he\u2019s going to assault me? Sure, whatever. That\u2019s incredibly dumb. But also wouldn\u2019t work. I\u2019m much larger than Joe and I\u2019ve fought my whole life. I\u2019d end him. But grownups don\u2019t do that.\u201d The challenge soon went viral with many fans commenting on how they\u2019d go as far as pay to see the fight between the two internet stars. I’d pay to see that fight. I don’t understand the idol worship of Joe Rogan. People are so triggered by Cenk’s comments they are now resorting to violence? If an MMA fighter has to fight because someone said something that wasn’t nice, I’d be concerned about his lack of control \u2014 Todd, PhD (@addictionguy) October 1, 2021 Battle lines had been drawn and a debate between fans of The Young Turks and Joe Rogan commenced, turning into the equivalent of a \u201cmy dad can beat up your dad\u201d spectacle. Despite Uygur coming across as confident, the overwhelming majority of comments cited Rogan\u2019s martial arts skills as enough of a reason he\u2019d lose in a head-to-head fight. Dude you have CLEARLY never seen Rogan practice. He would dropkick you before you even realized you\u2019re in a fight. pic.twitter.com\/EBPE1ak2gZ \u2014 John Willow (@JohnathonWillow) October 1, 2021 \u201cJoe Rogan would demolish you. He would roll through you like a bulldozer going through paper. Your size literally means nothing when there is such a huge disparity in skill and strength,\u201d a fan remarked. I\u2019m not going to guess who\u2019d win \u2013 but I\u2019d donate $100 to see an organized debate\/fight. First you debate one point. Then a round in the ring. Then another debate point. Then another round in the ring. ((I seriously think this concept would be an extremely entertaining show.)) \u2014 forging onward (@hopeful10_6) September 30, 2021 Others proposed interesting formats to keep the theme in line with podcasts: \u201cI\u2019d donate $100 to see an organized debate\/fight. First you debate one point. Then a round in the ring. Then another debate point. Then another round in the ring,\u201d another suggested. Fellow podcaster Tim Pool even went as far as to suggest that in addition to Cenk fighting Rogan, his nephew Hasan take on Logan Paul. Ok, lets do this Cenk v Joe Rogan Hasan v Logan Paul Alex Jones as the commentator \u2014 Tim Pool (@Timcast) October 1, 2021 So far, Rogan hasn\u2019t responded to the challenge, but it would be a must-see spectacle if he agrees and the two end up actually duking it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
