Joe Rogan is no longer scheduled to appear as part of the broadcast team for UFC 271 on Saturday night at the Toyota Center in Houston.
After MMA Fighting reported Friday night that Rogan was being replaced by former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, the UFC released a statement to the outlet saying the longtime fight commentator had a "scheduling conflict" and would return for UFC 272.
Rogan has come under fire in recent weeks for issues related to his The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Spotify.
First, several high-profile musicians, including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, told Spotify they wanted their music removed from the platform if it was going to allow Rogan to spread "misinformation" about COVID-19 and vaccines on his podcast.
