There are currently no transgender fighters in the UFC and Rogan's joking remarks about the possibility sparked laughs from his two guests in a recent episode.

Podcast host Joe Rogan jokingly warned against the possibility of having transgender fighters in the UFC, saying that people would get 'murdered.'During a recent episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan and his guests, Francis Foster and Konstantin Kisin, spoke about diversity recruiting in the armed forces across different countries.'Imagine if the UFC had to have diversity,' Rogan said.

The comments by Rogan, who is also a UFC commentator, come as transgender rights and LGBTQ+ issues have remained a topic of conversation over the past few months. Several Republican-led states have sought to pass legislation banning gender-affirming medical care for minors and other conservatives have called for boycotts against companies supporting transgender individuals and their rights.
