UFC Champion Defends Joe Rogan Against Ronda Rousey’s Comments

Unlike Ronda Rousey, many Ultimate Fighting Championship legends consider Joe Rogan a worthy mixed martial arts analyst.

Rousey recently made headlines with her controversial comments about Rogan on Bert Kreischer’s podcast. Rousey (12-2) called Rogan a “fan” rather than an “expert” of the sport. However, Valentina Shevchenko disagrees. The UFC women’s flyweight champion considers Rogan an expert on martial arts. “Bullet” also lauded Rogan as a great human being and a prime example for the youth.

“I see Joe Rogan as huge expert of Martial Arts, noble man, hunter, sportsman, and good example for youth,” Shevchenko wrote on X, while sharing Rousey’s comments on Rogan.
