Conor McGregor defends Joe Rogan, tells Stephen A. Smith to apologize

UFC superstar Conor McGregor has Joe Rogan’s back. Stephen A. Smith clapped back at Rogan after the longtime UFC commentator and UFC veteran Josh Thomson went in on him on an episode of Rogan’s podcast. The duo criticized Smith’s horrific padwork, with Rogan proclaiming that “This guy should not be allowed to talk about fighting.”

Rogan then said this about Smith in regards to his comments:

“You called a guy a quitter, first of all, had a broken orbital bone. You’re saying he was a quitter? He got his face smashed. He got cracked by one of the biggest punchers in the sport.
