Joe Rogan is in Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino’s bad books after a tasteless joke was made on his podcast.
On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made an insensitive joke about the Invicta featherweight champion.
“She’s the only person who cuts weight by chopping off her dick.”

Cyborg has since responded with an emotional Facebook post in which she suggested Rogan’s behaviour on the podcast was akin to that of a cyber bully.
She recounted receiving a phone call from her father in Brazil, who was in tears over the comments, and explained that the right thing for Rogan to do would be to apologise for the comments.
Check out the post in full below.
At what point does the joke become bullying?
My father called me from Brazil after hearing Joe Rogan’s comments to tell me it felt like someone was stabbing him with a knife in his heart when he heard what the UFC Commentator had to say.
Hearing your Dad cry as he tells you this is not easy….
The problem with the Internet is that it is like writing in permanent Ink…it is there for everyone to read, forever.
Joe Rogan might think his comments about me having a dick are funny, but I think they were mean and hurtful and an example of cyber bullying by “the cool kids”.
The only time he wants to call me a UFC fighter is when he can use it to make fun of me?
Maybe he doesn’t feel like he needs to apologize because he thinks he is some sort of comedian, but it would be the right thing to do, especially if he is ever going to commentate one of my fights!
