UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan will bypass UFC 315 in May, hosted in Montreal, Canada.
“Wow. I won’t be there. I don’t go to Canada anymore,” he said on an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“I’d rather go to Russia,” he added.

From the New York Post:
Earlier in the show, Rogan remarked that Canada’s government is “terrible” — but said “the Canadian people are awesome.”
Rogan said in July that his beef with Canada initially began during the COVID-19 pandemic after thousands of protesting truckers descended on the capital in Ottawa and railed against the country’s vaccine mandate, according to Front Office Sports.
President Trump, who Rogan helped throttle to a second term in the White House with an appearance on his podcast days before the 2024 election, has sparked tensions between the US and Canada for imposing new tariffs — and suggesting Canada become the 51st state.
The trade war has previously seeped into the sports world, with Canadian fans booing the US national anthem during the NHL-run 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.
Rogan admitted last month that he does not think Canada should join the union, but wants the two countries to make up and end what he called “the dumbest f–king feud.”
