As a commentator, discussing a fighter's performance in the cage is part of the job. However, making disparaging remarks about an athlete's physical appearance, on any platform, is going a bit overboard.

On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the host implied that former UFC champ Cris Cyborg had a manly appearance, by jokingly stating she had a penis. He would go on to apologize for the remark, but it was clear the reigning Bellator queen was understandably upset.

For her part, Cyborg sent out a tweet directed at both Rogan and UFC President Dana White. The post read 'Every woman deserves the right to go to work in an environment free of sexual harassment, online bullying, and workplace intimidation.'

The incident was part of what lead to the rift between Cyborg and the UFC, which eventually resulted in her release from the company.
