Joe Rogan commented on Cheyanne Vlismas’ bonus video and the controversy
At UFC Fight Night: Hall vs. Strickland, Cheyanne Vlismas won her fight and added style points by landing a head kick that lead to the finish. After the bout, Vlismas got the news that she won the performance of the night bonus for her performance, and she melted down hearing the news.

Rogan was talking about the fighter’s pay issues with the guest Chad Mendes on his highly popular show, The Joe Rogan Experience #113 (JRE MMA Show). Afterward, he watched the video of Vlismas and said, “She was crying and all these people got online and started complaining about the UFC.”
Rogan added that he understands both sides and suggested why some fighters are not paid enough, “A lot of people don’t know who she is yet…The whole thing about the sport is how many people are going to watch you fight… How exciting are you? How entertaining are you, how engaging are you? Your personality and do you put a*** in the seats?”
