Joe Rogan, the renowned color commentator, has expressed his desire to see all MMA fighters under one roof. While the UFC has been the dominant promotion for over 30 years, other organizations like PFL, RIZIN Fighting Federation, and ONE Championship have emerged. However, Rogan questions the value of fighting outside the UFC. He believes that fighters in organizations like Bellator and PFL may be wasting their careers due to the lack of viewership.
