Joe Rogan Ripped Over Bad Habit on Podcast
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Joe Rogan is being criticized online for a bad habit during a recent episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Newsweek reached out to Rogan's representative via email for comment. The Context Rogan is one of the most influential global podcasters. He began The Joe Rogan Experience in 2009 and has completed 2,326 episodes to date. On the show, he interviews politicians, actors, athletes and more. Some of his previous podcast guests include President Donald Trump, chef Guy Fieri, billionaire Elon Musk, actor Jeremy Renner and former professional boxer Mike Tyson. What To Know On Wednesday's three-hour episode of The Joe Rogan Experience with NFL star Aaron Rodgers, Rogan received backlash for discussing a variety of topics—including vaccines, Netflix and New Jersey's mystery drones—but not the future of his football career. Fans were also irked by something else: his loud chewing. Some listeners said they couldn't finish the episode because of it. While it's unclear what exactly Rogan was munching on, the former Fear Factor host has raved about Neuro gum and mints on his podcast. During episode 2,290 with standup comedian Michael Kosta, Rogan said he's "a big fan" of their products. "I chew it all the time," Rogan told Kosta in March, referring to the gum. "It's gum that has a little bit of caffeine, a little bit of theanine in it." Joe Rogan attends the UFC 277 ceremonial weigh-in in Dallas, Texas, on July 29, 2022.

UFC Mexico City Results: Moreno Vs. Erceg Fight Card
The UFC returns to Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico for tonight's UFC Mexico City fight card. The, Saturday, March 29, UFC Fight Night features a main event between former two-time UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and recent UFC flyweight title challenger Steve Erceg. Moreno is coming off a decision win over Amir Albazi, which ended his two-fight losing skid. Meanwhile, Erceg is looking to end a two-fight losing skid of his own heading into the UFC Mexico City headliner. Manuel Torres faces Drew Dober in a lightweight bout in the evening's co-main event. Below, we will update the UFC Mexico City fight card results, video highlights, scorecards, and more live throughout tonight's UFC Fight Night event. Moreno (22-8-2) is the No. 2 fighter in the official UFC flyweight rankings. The 30-year-old is a former two-time UFC 125-pound champion. Moreno's first title reign began in June 2021 with a submission win over Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 263. He returned the title to Figueiredo in their UFC 270 rematch, losing that January 2022 contest via decision. Moreno then won the interim flyweight belt in July 2022 with a UFC 277 TKO triumph over Kai Kara-France. In January 2023, Moreno regained the undisputed UFC title from Figueiredo with a TKO victory at UFC 283. Like his first title run, Moreno's second stint with the 125-pound ended without him making a successful defense. Alexandre Pantoja took the belt from him in July 2023 via split decision. The ex-champ then lost a split decision to Brandon Royval in February 2024. Moreno bounced back from that loss with a decision win over Amir Albazi in the main event of a UFC Fight Night event in Edmonton in November. The ex-champ has not fought since defeating Albazi. Steve Erceg (12-3) has not been with the UFC long. The fighter from Perth, Australia, has just five UFC bouts to his name, including a surprise title fight in May 2024. Erceg was 9-1 when he made his UFC debut at UFC 289 in June 2023. Despite fighting on the early prelims of that card and not getting a finish, Erceg picked up a 'Performance of the Night' bonus for a unanimous decision win that night over David Dvorak. That win put Erceg into the top 15 of the UFC's 125-pound division. In his next outing, Erceg faced Alessandro Costa in the 'featured prelim' spot of the UFC 295 fight card. Erceg again picked up a unanimous decision win on that night. After defeating Costa, Erceg moved up to No. 12 in the division. For his next scrap, Erceg faced Matt Schnell in March of this year. Erceg won that fight and his second 'Performance of the Night' bonus with a second-round knockout of Schnell. The win put him in the top 10 of the division, and thanks to some booking quirks, it earned him a shot at Pantoja's title in the top spot of the UFC 301 fight card. Erceg handled himself well against Pantoja but lost to the champ by decision in their May 2024 matchup. Erceg next faced Kai Kara-France in the co-main event of UFC 305, a fight that Kara-France won via first-round TKO. Erceg enters UFC Mexico City as the No. 8 ranked UFC flyweight.
