UFC commentator Joe Rogan revealed a secret regarding what FOX does during UFC fights.
On an episode of his podcast, Rogan told retired UFC fighter Brendan Schaub that FOX spray paints the canvas in between fights whenever there is blood on the mat.
“You know what they do during the Fox fights?” Rogan asked Schaub. “They spray paint over the blood.
“Dude, it’s gross. We’re sitting there doing the commentary and talking about some stuff and they’re spraying like full board, paint-booth, like doing a Chevelle, ten feet from us. I’m not exaggerating.
“Dude they spray paint it. They walk around and spray paint over the blood. And you’re like ‘are you (expletive) (expletive) me?’
“And the camera guys are all covering their faces with shirts and walking away. It’s probably illegal.
“Like you have to have masks on and stuff for that (expletive). You can’t just blow it into the crowd. There’s 15,000 people sitting in the audience and they’re like ‘well what’s really important is that we deny what we’re involved with so we’ll put a little spray paint on this blood. We don’t want to see any blood. Blood’s inside of everybody, we need blood to stay alive and sometimes it’s a bloody business but we don’t want to look at it.'”
