The Joe Rogan Experience - MMA Show 123
BJ Penn is the former UFC Welterweight & Lightweight Champion and current Republican candidate for Governor of Hawaii.
Rogan promised he wasn't going to have political candidates on his show, but what are you going to do? You have one of the biggest and best MMA fighters of all time running for governor. Not going to talk to him? Yeah right!
But - to be fair - this episode is mostly free of politics. BJ outlines why he's running for office but that's about as far as it goes.
By the way - the Hawaiians have it pretty unfair. They can't import anything without it going to California first. What is this nonsense?
But most of the episode is talking shop about fighting.
