Joe Rogan forced to apologise for leaked comments he made about Jose Aldo’s physique

Joe Rogan's been feeling rather apologetic as of late.

The UFC commentator has made his third public apology in a fortnight after he first took responsibility for a joke made on his podcast insinuating that female fighter Cris 'Cyborg' Justino had a penis and, on Sunday, Rogan apologised to Jose Aldo for the confusion caused in his post-fight interview due to some inaccurate translation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCD5ZusQRlQ Clip via FairUseReview The latest has also been issued to former UFC featherweight champion Aldo due to some comments made by Rogan on his podcast earlier this week. Rogan continued discussing Aldo's physique, and the difference between how he looked on Saturday night and earlier in his career, with former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub on Monday's episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4ZtiC3izkk Clip via RoganWatch And on Thursday, Rogan came out with a lengthy apology for his comments, claiming that he was mistaken in judging the physique of Jose Aldo against a random image of the Brazilian from the past.

"There was an audio "leak" from inside the UFC production truck right before Saturday night's fight where I said that Jose Aldo's body looked smooth and deflated, and that I didn't want to jump to any conclusions and that it could have just been from doing a lot of cardio. I also said he looked nervous. Needless to say this caused a lot of controversy. Since then people have posted photos of Aldo recently as well as from this fight, and he looked very similar. So for that, I stand corrected. My apologies for being wrong to Aldo and his trainer Andre Pederneiras. I have nothing but admiration and respect for both of them. This wasn't supposed to be a public conversation, I was just talking to my friend the producer in the truck privately. As you can see from this photo from earlier in his career his body looked different from how he looked Saturday night. There are several possible reasons for that, one of them being that the 1st photo is him moving, and another that he had endurance problems in the later rounds of his fights and might have leaned out.
