“I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing – if I’m going to it or not,” he said.
“I don’t know where it is. I don’t even know if it’s in America. I literally, as of right now, I don’t know sh*t. I have no information.”
So when his guest Lex Fridman suggested the event could be held with social distancing measures in place, Rogan quickly interjected.
“There’s no social distancing in a f*cking cage fight,” said Rogan.
“They’re on top of each other sweating in each other’s mouths. If Tony Ferguson’s fighting, there’s gonna be blood, for sure. Everybody that fights Tony Ferguson looks like they fell off a train, so there’s gonna be blood.”
Rogan then laid out the crux of the argument against hosting the event.
“What if one of those guys test positive?” he asked.
“What if Justin Gaethje tests positive? He’s supposed to be fighting Ferguson. I have a feeling that if someone did test positive, they would kick them off the card. I shouldn’t say kick them off the card, remove them from the card. I would imagine it has to be the right thing to do. Then you would also have to quarantine the people that worked with him in training camp and test everybody.”
Despite these concerns, UFC 249 looks set to go ahead, with or without Rogan.
