😱 Joe Rogan Calls Out Ksi For Pulling Out Of Dillon Danis Fight – “He’S Legit, You Should’Ve Taken It!”

**Joe Rogan**, the voice of combat sports and one of the most influential commentators in the MMA world, has weighed in on one of the biggest controversies in influencer boxing — **KSI pulling out of his scheduled fight against Dillon Danis**. And Rogan isn’t holding back.

In a recent episode of his popular podcast **The Joe Rogan Experience**, Rogan addressed the cancellation and gave his **unfiltered opinion**. While he didn’t outright slam KSI, the message was clear: if you say you’re a fighter, you **step up and fight — especially against someone like Dillon Danis**.

> “Danis is legit. He may talk a lot of trash, but the guy’s a real grappler. A real fighter,” Rogan said. “KSI pulling out? That’s disappointing, man. If you’re gonna wear the gloves, you’ve got to back it up.”

The match between KSI and Danis was one of the most talked-about crossover fights in recent memory. KSI, a YouTube superstar turned boxer, has built a solid record in influencer boxing — defeating Logan Paul, swatting away FaZe Temperrr, and showing steady improvement with each outing. Danis, a polarizing figure with a jiu-jitsu pedigree and ties to Conor McGregor’s camp, was supposed to be his toughest challenge yet.

But when Danis began no-showing press conferences and stirring up drama online, **the fight began to unravel**. Eventually, KSI announced he was pulling out of the bout, citing **“unprofessional behavior and lack of communication”** from Danis’s side.

Rogan, however, sees it differently.

> “You don’t let antics outside the ring stop you,” he explained. “If the guy shows up to fight, you fight. That’s what real competitors do.”

His words have **split the internet**, with fans debating whether KSI made the right call. Some argue that KSI was protecting the integrity of the event and ensuring a reliable opponent. Others, like Rogan, believe it was a missed opportunity to prove himself against someone with legitimate combat credentials.

The controversy has reignited conversations about the **difference between influencer boxing and real combat sports**. Rogan has long championed fighters who take risks, face real competition, and respect the roots of the fight game — whether it’s boxing, MMA, or jiu-jitsu.

While KSI moved on and continued building his boxing brand, **the Danis fight remains a “what if” moment**, and Rogan’s take just poured gasoline on the fire.

Social media platforms lit up after the episode aired. Hashtags like **#JoeRoganOnKSI**, **#DanisVsKSI**, and **#LegitOrNot** started trending as fans debated whether Rogan’s opinion was harsh or justified.

Even Dillon Danis himself responded via Twitter, saying:

> “Thank you \@joerogan for being real. Everyone knows who backed out.”

As of now, KSI has yet to respond directly to Rogan’s comments — but with his next opponent and fight date still in the works, the pressure is on. Will he face another serious challenger? Will he ever revisit the Danis matchup? Or is the influencer boxing lane destined to remain in its own bubble?

One thing’s for sure: **Joe Rogan has drawn the line**. And when he talks, the fight world listens.
