UFC commentator Joe Rogan has slammed Conor McGregor for his recent take on acting.
After being out of action for nearly three years, McGregor made his Hollywood debut with the recently released, Road House. The former UFC champion certainly had to put a lot of work into his Hollywood debut since he’s never acted before.
As a result, Conor McGregor claimed that acting was more difficult than fighting in the UFC. As one would expect, McGregor’s comments garnered a lot of criticism. Speaking about the same during one of his podcasts, Joe Rogan shared his thoughts.
Interestingly, it looks like Joe Rogan wasn’t a big fan of McGregor’s comments either. Rogan dismissed the UFC fighter’s claim by suggesting that, “It’s not true”. Furthermore, Rogan questioned if it was harder to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov or act in his movie, Road House. He said:
“Okay, that’s not true. Okay act in Road House or fight Khabib again? Shut the fu*k up.”

Is Conor McGregor fighting Michael Chandler?
After being done with the promotional activities of his movie, Road House, it looks like Conor McGregor is set to return to the octagon finally. He was last seen in action almost three years ago in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier.
After his return was seemingly pushed throughout last year, McGrgeor finally seems to have his return fixed. During a recent interview with ESPN, ‘The Notorious’ revealed that he is coming back for a summer fight against Michael Chandler.
While an exact date and event are yet to be announced by the UFC, it looks like he might be returning at UFC 303 which will take place on June 29. That said, it remains to be seen how his return goes and if he’s able to secure a victory on his return after winning just one of his last four fights inside the octagon.
