Vanessa Demopoulos and Joe Rogan
Vanessa Demopoulos got the victory at UFC 270 after she submitted Silvana Gomez Juarez in the first round of their contest. The 33-year old mixed martial artist is a former stripper, and she walked away from that profession to pursue her dream of becoming a professional athlete.
It was the biggest win of her professional career, and to add to her victory, she was getting interviewed by the podcast kingpin, comedian, and longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan. As soon as the interview ended she hugged Rogan, and asked him to pick her up, Joe followed the cue and gave fans a moment of a lifetime.
Vanessa talked about that moment in her recent interview with MMA Fighting, she said, “I do so much positive self-talk and I thought, ‘Joe Rogan’s gonna interview me, this is gonna be my moment. I’m just gonna put my arm around him, put one leg up, the other leg up, and he’s just gonna hoist me up. That’s what’s going to happen, and it was so flawless. It happened exactly the way I thought in my head over and over again. I was like, ‘Let’s go!’. It was so freaking cool that he went along with it. What a cool guy.”
“I had so many new experiences”- Vanessa Demopoulos was overwhelmed by the whole experince
Vanessa planned the whole moment, and she is very glad Joe got her cue and followed through. “I first thought about that when I knew I was going to be on a PPV card. I had so many new experiences in one week’s time. It went from fighting in the APEX to fighting in front of a crowd, so my walkout song has more intensity to it, I get to look around, and I got to see faces that I recognized because I envisioned that, and I envisioned Joe Rogan coming up to me and interviewing me, and I kept manifesting the performance bonus.”
“I had all of this written everywhere. I have videos where I wrote it on whiteboards, book markers, I had it on the cover of my phone, it was everywhere. But everything played out so much cooler when I lived it over my imagination. F*ck, it was so cool, man!”
