Joe Rogan has remained a part of UFC for more than two decades. He is often regarded as the voice of UFC, and has covered several hundred of pay-per-view fights as a commentator. However, nothing came closer to the effort he had to give while collaborating with EA Sports.
Like many other sports, EA has worked with UFC for their video game, which got launched in 2014. It was the first ever UFC game and was released on PlayStation and Xbox One. As expected for realism, they asked Rogan to do the voice over commentary and it turned out to be a mammoth task. In a recent podcast, Rogan shared his experience in detail.
Doing the voice over for that was one of the most brutal jobs I have ever had. It’s so long. It’s also a huge strain on your voice. It’s like you are pushing your voice.

At the age of 57, Rogan continues to be one of the most loved individuals in the MMA community.
