As we reported last night, Joe Rogan will not be commentating at tonight’s UFC 271 event due to a “scheduling conflict.”
Some believe that ESPN and by extension, Disney, are potentially behind the move, including YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.
Paul is currently undefeated in his boxing career, with his last two wins being over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
In a tweet, Paul lamented, “So ESPN and Disney pull Joe Rogan from the UFC broadcast but stand behind Dana White who calls reporters douche bags, says a female fighter looks like a male fighter in dress and heels, and claims brain damage is part of the gig?”
“You pulled the wrong guy Mr. Chapek,” Paul suggested, referring to Disney CEO Bob Chapek.

Paul and UFC President Dana White are currently embroiled in a dispute with each other that has gotten vicious recently with Paul releasing a “diss track.”
White has stood behind Rogan since the controversy began and previously said “You’re not canceling Rogan.”
White explained, “And the thing is with Rogan, he’s a brilliant guy, he does his homework, and he knows what he’s talking about.”
“And guess what? This is f*cking America, and you can have your own opinion about these things, and you can voice ’em. That’s what this f*cking country was built on. And all these little whiny f*cking p*ssies that don’t like it, too f*cking bad, man. Too bad,” White added.
Clay Travis also weighed in on the situation and tweeted, “Joe Rogan has been pulled from UFC 271 a day before the event reportedly because of a ‘scheduling conflict.'”
“You buy it or is this a woke ESPN request?” Travis wondered.

David Limbaugh said in a tweet that due to the move, “I am tempted not to watch the UFC fights in solidarity with schedule-conflict-afflicted @joerogan — I don’t remember Joe ever having a ‘scheduling conflict’ before.”
