Watch: Chael Sonnen hilariously asks Joe Rogan to give him his "iconic black shirt" in case "something happens" to him
Joe Rogan recently took to Instagram and revealed that he’d contracted COVID-19. The beloved UFC personality reassured his fans, however, that he’s well on the road to recovery. On that note, Chael Sonnen has released a video jokingly requesting Rogan give him his iconic black shirt if the podcaster succumbs to COVID-19. Sonnen stated:
“Joe Rogan, thoughts go out to you. And, guys, Joe Rogan got COVID. He made this very public. Joe has a bit of an iconic black shirt; solid black. He’s called shows in it. It’s fitted, larger in the chest, made for big arms, kind of tight around the waist. I don’t want anything to happen to Joe. (But) if…If something happens, that shirt, Joe, can I have it?”
Rogan, a longtime UFC commentator and MMA analyst, has often sported a black shirt while working as part of the commentary team at UFC events.
In fact, one of the most recent events Joe Rogan worked at – the blockbuster UFC 264 fight card headlined by MMA megastar Conor McGregor – saw him sport the shirt. Rogan donned the shirt during the infamous post-fight octagon interview with an injured McGregor.
