Joe Rogan is an accomplished color commentator, podcaster, comedian, and mixed martial artist. In essence, Rogan is the guy you know who does almost everything. However, how well does he do each of these things? Fans recently had the opportunity to pull his leg about one of them.
Being a mixed martial artist was one of Rogan’s biggest dreams in his younger days. He trained himself in martial arts such as Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, and many more. While some may be his strong suit, others are not so much. Here’s a recent story that left fans in splits.
Joe Rogan and MMA could be used in one sentence and it would make the most sense. The podcaster knows just about everything one could know in one lifetime about MMA and he keeps on yearning for more. Of course, it also comes from him practicing various art forms.
And practicing martial arts means sparring. Rogan’s kicks are infamous for being insanely strong. However, an old resurfaced clip showed him slowing down and struggling during a session. While that is not grounds enough to brand Rogan ineffective, fans never miss a chance.
In the clip, Rogan can be seen wearing a black outfit taking the fight to his opponent. However, the fight is slow and he misses a lot of his shots. Later on, he can be seen mostly on the defensive trying not to get hit. He throws a sweet whirl kick that misses its mark.
He then gets jabbed in the face for it before both the fighters retreat toward the edge of the enclosure. Then they continue. It’s slow, and it looks like Rogan is all tired out. Perhaps they’ve been fighting for a few rounds. Perhaps it’s from his early days. Either way, fans had things to say.
Fault or no-fault, UFC fans always find a way to bring out the humor in any situation. This time around, Rogan had some fans claiming that they could probably take him in a fight if it were up to them. Here are some of the most hilarious reactions from Instagram.
“I can totally take Joe on…..”
“Wouldn’t last 1 round w me”
While some wanted to fight Rogan, others complained about his skills.
“Not good.”
“Too slow and too stiff”
Yet others felt like he was too mature of a fighter.
“Old age always gets you.”
This fan compared him to one of the UFC’s top welterweights.
“belal more entertaining than this”
Finally, one gave an ultimatum.
“terrible”
Looks like these fans are convinced Rogan’s skills can be matched. Either way, it’s tough to assume that he’ll ever professionally step inside an Octagon. Rogan makes a lot of money from The Joe Rogan Experience and his commentary gig with the UFC. He does not need to fight at all. But if he does, would he be better than the sparring session we just saw? What do you think?
