UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O’Malley has added his comedic touch to the ongoing saga between controversial fitness influencer Brian Johnson, better known as “Liver King,” and podcast giant Joe Rogan.
In a recent video shared across social media platforms, O’Malley is seen impersonating Liver King with a mock desperate plea directed at the UFC commentator and podcast host.
“I’m losing everything and anything. Because of Joe Rogan,” O’Malley dramatically declares in the clip, mimicking Liver King’s distinctive intense delivery style. “Please, Joe Rogan, let me be on your podcast. Dude, I’m not on steroids. I promise. We’ll have a killer conversation.”
The bantamweight champion’s parody comes amid ongoing tension between Liver King and Rogan. The friction began after Liver King, who built his brand promoting an “ancestral lifestyle” centered around consuming raw organ meats, was exposed for secretly using performance-enhancing substances while claiming his physique came naturally from his dietary practices.
Rogan, who had previously expressed skepticism about Liver King’s natural claims on his podcast, was vindicated when leaked emails revealed Johnson spent approximately $11,000 monthly on various performance-enhancing substances. This revelation dramatically undermined Liver King’s brand authenticity and led to significant backlash from his followers.
Since the exposure, Liver King has made numerous public attempts to engage with Rogan, including multiple social media posts requesting an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, presumably to explain himself or attempt image rehabilitation.
O’Malley, known for his colorful personality both in and outside the octagon, clearly found humor in the situation. The UFC star’s impression highlights the seemingly desperate nature of Liver King’s attempts to reconnect with Rogan, who has largely remained silent on the matter since the initial controversy.
The champion’s mockery has resonated with fans, gathering thousands of interactions across platforms and further cementing O’Malley’s reputation as one of the more entertaining personalities in combat sports.
As of now, neither Liver King nor Rogan has publicly responded to O’Malley’s parody video.
