Joe Rogan calls on Dana White for drastic UFC regulation change

Joe Rogan thinks Dana White needs to make a big change to the UFC.

The podcast host is a huge fan of the top MMA promotion, but that does not stop him from speaking out about what he thinks could be improved.

He has already pushed for a UFC kickboxing league in the past, and now he has brought up another idea he wants them to consider.

Rogan believes the gaps between some of the UFC weight classes are simply too large.

He thinks the solution is to introduce additional divisions.

“There should be a weight class every ten pounds for men… Like 185 to 205 is bananas. 20lbs is crazy,” Rogan said on an episode of the JRE Fight Companion.

He added: “I think that they should have legitimately a weight class every 10lbs in MMA. And I don’t think that’s bad.”

Rogan is known for standing his ground when it comes to his opinions.

So it is no surprise that he did not hold back after being interrupted at one of his stand-up shows.

In fact, he even went so far as to joke about bringing in a UFC icon to deal with the situation.
