10 Most Disliked Joe Rogan Experience Episodes
3. Jeff Novitzky 32%
The only episode on this list to feature a guest emanating from the world of mixed martial arts, anti-doping official and UFC employee Jeff Novitzky made his third JRE appearance on episode 53 of the MMA Show in 2018.
Novitzky's appearance came during a tumultuous time in the MMA world, as the UFC made the unprecedented decision to move an entire event to a different state after irregularities were found in controversial star Jon Jones' pre-fight drug test.
MMA fans assumed that the presence of illicit performance-enhancing substances in Jones' system would be treated as a de facto breach of the UFC's anti-doping policy, but that was not to be the case, leading fans to highlight perceived hypocrisies in how the company had dealt with similar infractions.
So, when UFC employee Notitzky appeared on the podcast, with an explanation that, to many, seemed like damage control for the organisation, fans were not happy, with the episode eventually racking up a total of more than 28 thousand dislikes.
