Fans were in uproar after Joe Rogan asked Alexa Grasso to reiterate how she felt about fighting at Noche UFC for the "Gringos."

During the ceremonial weigh-ins ahead of UFC 306, the then-flyweight queen Alexa Grasso was asked about the significance of fighting to defend her throne on Mexican Independence Day at Noche UFC.

When she finished speaking in Spanish, Rogan egged the Mexican to reiterate the same for the "Gringos" (slang for all non-Hispanic people but particularly Americans). Thereafter, Grasso stated how lucky she feels to be part of the UFC's first-ever women's trilogy while expressing gratitude toward her fanbase.

The interaction left the fans in splits as they jumped to the comments section to mention the color commentator's hilarious word choice:

@garyvirk commented:

"Rogan is a fan and one hell of a comedian lol."

@dovetoothbrush added:

"One time for the gringos." Im dead 😭😭"

@mgrzzly_ stated:

"National treasure Joe at its finest."

@banks704 added:

"That's going to be on a shirt "One time for the gringos 😭😂"

Noche UFC 306 is now in the books, with both champions losing their titles to the challengers. Valentina Shevchenko grinded Grasso down for five rounds to emerge victorious as she captured flyweight gold for the second time in her career, concluding the trilogy with the former champion back on the throne.

Meanwhile, Merab Dvalishvili utilized his inhuman pace and pressure to stifle the striking extraordinaire's attacks and dethrone 'Suga' to announce his arrival as the new king of the 135-pound division.


Joe Rogan gave Noche UFC 306 tickets to Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson

While there have been rumors about former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson and Joe Rogan not being on the best of terms, the comedian isn't known to harbor grudges. Recently, the 57-year-old invited Jackson on his podcast and congratulated the former Pride FC champion for his podcast, which has been garnering wild numbers lately.

That's not all, as Jackson took to X to post a snippet of his viewing experience at The Sphere in Las Vegas for last night's Noche UFC 306. The 46-year-old didn't miss thanking the color commentator for his generosity in offering free tickets that were extremely sought-after and, not to mention, notoriously priced.

This isn't the first time Joe Rogan has been commended for offering free UFC tickets to his friends, as the podcast icon is known to bring his comedian buddies to various UFC and other combat sports events.
