Joe Rogan is choosing to skip Montreal, which means he won't be calling #UFC315.

If anything, the American podcaster revealed that he'd "rather go to Russia," seeing as that he doesn't "go to Canada anymore." Rogan's feud with the country stems from his disapproval of its leaders, and in particular, Justin Trudeau. He said during his UFC fight companion podcast on Sunday:

“They have terrible government but the Canadian people are awesome."

According to Rogan, under Trudeau's regime, Canada was burdened with “ridiculous free speech laws” and “tyranny” of the government.

“They can come down on you for a lot of things. They seized up the bank accounts for people who were protesting, the truckers. People who were donating to the truckers, they seized their bank accounts,” Rogan said on his podcast in July. “It’s not a good place under this administration, at least.”

While his stance may be political, the atmosphere on X is lighthearted, as users are losing their minds over this latest announcement. Scores online are poking fun at the news, and we've rounded up all of the funniest comments we could find to leave you in splits.
