“Sounded Like Hitler”: Joe Rogan’s Conor McGregor Impersonation Disappoints UFC Fans, Failing to Deliver the Expected Laughs

Joe Rogan is a man of many talents. The former martial artist, who started his career as a host for Fear Factor, has since established himself as the host of the most popular podcast in the world. His name is synonymous with MMA. Rogan even has a comedy club in Texas. He hunts, he cooks – he can do just about anything, anything except an Irish accent.

The popular comedian and UFC caller has never been a big fan of Conor McGregor’s ‘colorful’ activities. In 2024, he had commented on McGregor’s physique in the Road House movie, joking that if the Irishman went back into the USADA pool, his urine would melt the cup.

Rogan has now slammed McGregor for his cocaine addiction. While that is a fair point, the attention is more on the Jersey native’s lacklustre impression of McGregor.

Claiming the Crumlin striker must put down the “marching powder”, Rogan tried to bring in his comedy chops in an Instagram reel, which he normally does for commentary on society. Rogan’s impression of the troubled Irishman was so bad that a user claimed he “sounded like Adolf Hitler.”

Another then commented how Rogan’s impression of McGregor was “awful” before a McGregor faithful just urged Rogan to “shut up“.

Unfazed as always by his critics, Rogan continued with his advice for the Irishman but admits that the possibility of a McGrgeor return were slimmer than a Ozympic-prescribed celebrity.

Is McGregor retired?

Out of action since 2021, McGregor’s spell of inactivity has come as the longest of his lengthy Octagon tenure. Sidelined through a fractured tibia and fibula during a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264, the Dubliner was scheduled to return to action last year.

Slated for the UFC 303 headliner against Michael Chandler last summer, McGregor fractured a toe on the same leg as his prior injury, ruling him out from an International Fight Week comeback.

Last December, the veteran admitted to cocaine use during his civil trial for sexual assault. Reacting to the admission, UFC caller Rogan claimed a return for the Dubliner was now hugely unlikely.

“I don’t know if Conor’s ever going to fight again”, Rogan said on The Joe Rogan Experience.

“I know his version of it. And her (Nikita Hand’s) version of it, and what played out in the court. But the reality is that guy’s partying, and he’s partying real hard, and he talked about it in the court case. He was talking about cocaine”, noted Rogan.
