Joe Rogan says he \u201crespects\u201d Conor McGregor despite feud over drug testing Spotify: Joe Rogan\/Instagram: Conor McGregorJoe Rogan showed some love to Conor McGregor on episode 1911 of the JRE podcast despite the pair getting into a bit of a viral spat recently. While he has his say on quite a number of topics, it\u2019s not often that Joe Rogan finds himself in a heated feud with someone else for an extended period of time. Though, in late November, the podcast giant found himself in the crosshairs of UFC star Conor McGregor as the Irishman labeled him a \u201clittle fool\u201d and mocked his commentary after Rogan had said that McGregor got smashed up in one of his fights. The Notorious one went after Rogan again in December, seemingly accusing him of using steroids as he tweeted out photos of the JRE\u2019s hosts physique at age 52. Though, he did delete them a few hours later. Joe Rogan praises Conor McGregor\u2019s UFC efforts Rogan responded to those claims on his December 13 podcast with Stavros Halkias, as he laughed off McGregor\u2019s posts by saying he\u2019s \u201ccorrect\u201d with his insinuations. Well, during his December 15 podcast with Mark Boal, Rogan went a step further to bury the hatchet as he praised McGregor and other UFC fighters for stepping into the cage to fight. \u201cThey\u2019re choosing to do something insanely difficult,\u201d the UFC commentator said. \u201cThe real great ones, I\u2019ve got nothing but profound respect for. A guy like Conor McGregor, you would think on the surface he\u2019s so crazy, he talks so much s*it\u2026 that\u2019s an extraordinary human being. That\u2019s a rare, one in X amount of million kind of people that can do what he does and talk the kind of sh*t he does and then get into an Octagon and f*ck people up.\u201d Rogan further praised McGregor as being \u201cextraordinary\u201d in both mind and body, pointing to the mind games he played with Jose Aldo back in 2015 as he shot to stardom in the UFC. Though, it remains to be seen if the featherweight icon will reciprocate the love or if he\u2019ll keep going in on Rogan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
