  • Joe Rogan said that he would rather go to Russia than Canada and that he won't be at the UFC 315 in Montreal in May. Newsweek reached out to a representative for Rogan outside of regular working hours via email for comment. Rogan is a prominent UFC commentator whose popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience has long dominated the podcast charts.

In a recent episode of his podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," Joe Rogan criticized Canada's current political and social climate, expressing a surprising preference for Russia over Canada. Rogan's comments were triggered by a discussion about Canadian truckers protesting against vaccine mandates, which he used to illustrate his broader point about perceived authoritarianism in Canada. He highlighted issues like freedom of speech, the treatment of indigenous populations, and the handling of the truckers' protest, suggesting that these factors make Canada less appealing than Russia, a statement that has stirred significant controversy and debate online.
