UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently came under fire for his comments about transgender athletes in sports. Now one person that he specifically called out in the past, Fallon Fox has responded to his remarks.
Fox has been a topic of debate and controversy for years, due to the fact that she is MMA’s first transgender athlete. On the one hand, some support her for being a pioneer, but on the other, critics say that this is not a fair fight for the women that she competes against.
This debate was recently brought back up, with Rogan discussing transgender athletes on a recent episode of his podcast. This brought backlash, with critics bringing up his previous comments about Fallon as further proof of him supposedly being transphobic.
Fallon Fox Fires Back At Joe Rogan
It seems that these recent comments from Joe Rogan have sparked the ire of Fallon Fox yet again. She has decided to respond after what can be imagined as being a ton of unwanted attention being brought in her direction again.
Posting to her Facebook page, the 5-1 MMA fighter took aim at Rogan for repeatedly showing signs of what she considers to be transphobic. She even demanded that Spotify cancel his show due to the repeated offenses.
“Joe Rogan is being transphobic yet again. He has had more transphobic episodes than you can shake a stick at. Spotify needs to cancel his show already.”

Fallon Fox is not the first person to request Joe Rogan be canceled for someone his less than PC views on things in the world. That said, Spotify has seemingly made it clear that they are backing the UFC commentator, which makes sense given how much money they put into getting his podcast on their platform.
What do you make of these recent remarks from Joe Rogan?

I can see equal rights but there’s nothing equal when it comes to physicality.. Men are inherently stronger than women and the thought of a born man punching or striking a woman seems ethically wrong..you’ll always be a man no matter how many chemicals you pump into your body.. Fight men tough guy...

Being born a male gives a significant “physical” advantage over females...especially in strength & combat sports. This is NOT about trans rights... it’s more about having an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE!! And it needs to be emphasized even more so in a sport where physical dominance is the point.... and where people get hurt. This is not a game of chess..... it’s combat!! Keep men and women separate.... nobody is trying to keep you from the sport. If you want to get in the ring with your new female identity and go at it with other guys, more power to you.... but you don’t get to use your unfair physical advantage to dominate women!!
If I identify as a kid at heart, does that mean I get to go join little league football?

He should fight in the men’s competition, as his birth certificate shows him to be. Leave the women alone.
