During his podcast with comedian Andrew Shultz, Rogan was asked about getting his lights out in a fight to which the 55-year-old shared his story of getting dropped. Rogan revealed that once he got TKOed but didn’t lose his consciousness. According to Rogan, after getting hit his legs fumbled but he didn’t feel any pain.

He continued: “It was like,they just shut off and then I got back up then I got hit with an uppercut and the referee stopped the fight. But I was conscious the whole time but I was aware that I was like, ready to go out.” That second uppercut definitely damaged Rogan so much that the referee had to intervene and Rogan himself knew that he was close to being knocked out.

Joe Rogan is a highly respected figure in the world of sports and entertainment, particularly when it comes to his expertise in interviewing PPV stars right after a big fight. With years of experience under his belt, Rogan has undoubtedly conducted thousands of interviews with fighters, and his skill in this area is unparalleled.

One of the most challenging aspects of Rogan’s job is dealing with fighters who have just been knocked out in the ring.

Despite this difficulty, Rogan remains calm and composed, using his vast knowledge and experience to handle these delicate situations with professionalism and tact.

Rogan’s interviews with fighters who have just suffered a loss are particularly tricky, as emotions can be high and the fighters may not be in the best frame of mind. Despite this, Rogan is always able to draw out insightful commentary and analysis from his interviewees, providing fans with a unique perspective on the fight and the fighters involved.

“It’s not a good time to interview people, they make mistakes. Because like you just had your brain shut off. So maybe they think they won a fight or maybe something. They don’t know what the f*ck just happened. And there’s varying degrees of that,” said Rogan. Joe shared that for average people it’s a feeling that they can never experience. It’s a different type of situation and fighters often get to go through that in their professional lives.
