Podcast host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan praised the White House event he helped host last weekend as the “greatest night of fights of all time,” but did not address a widely criticized moment in which a fighter he interviewed made a crude remark about former First Lady Michelle Obama.

In an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” published Wednesday, his first since the UFC event at the White House, Rogan called it the “wildest experience” he has ever had in his decades of calling UFC fights, praising it as the “greatest” night of fights ever.
Rogan noted every fight ended in a knockout or technical knockout, the first time that has ever happened in the UFC’s history, which he called “unprecedented” and a “perfect experience” for the fans who watched either at the South Lawn arena or at the nearby Ellipse park in Washington, D.C.
Rogan acknowledged he was “very concerned” about the weather, an issue he frequently raised on his podcast before the event, but he said nearby storms “miraculously” passed the White House.
