Joe Rogan is among the leading voices of influence in the entire world. His podcast, Joe Rogan Experience, has become one of the most popular podcasts, with numerous famous personalities coming in regularly. Rogan can completely blow it out of the water for his hot takes on Martial Arts and MMA. However, he got real about knockouts in an episode on his podcast. One aspect of the fight game that Rogan does not feel good about is his Taekwondo competitions and knocking out opponents.

Referencing his Taekwondo past, Rogan said, “I won most of my fights by knockout. A lot of them by knockout. I was always trying to knock someone unconscious.” When Dave Chappelle asked about did knocking out people feel good, Rogan replied, “Its shocking, and it doesn’t feel good. It never feels like great. I would pretend it felt great.”

Rogan went on to state that one time, he landed a spinning heel kick on his opponent and flatlined his opponent. After that, the image of the opponent getting carried in an ambulance has had an everlasting effect on Joe Rogan. The fighting experience combined with an immense knowledge of the sport remains one of the reasons why Rogan remains on the commentary team.

Joe Rogan rarely travels abroad for UFC PPV, so he did not join the UFC 286 commentary team in London. Rogan focuses on his podcast, leaving him unable to attend events outside the United States. However, he is expected to return to UFC 287 in Miami.

Coming from a combat sports background, Joe Rogan feels different about the John Wick franchise. The popular franchise, beloved around the world, did not get the same appreciation from Rogan. He feels that the film series does not make any sense.

He said, “The movie makes the least amount of sense. He’s the nice guy serial killer assassin, who can’t be stopped, and everybody roots for him… John Wick has now killed a total of 299 people onscreen, that’s more than the combined total of Jason Voorhees and all the Friday the 13th movies… Oh my god! That’s so ridiculous. But it’s crazy that we’re rooting for him to kill everybody.”

It appears that Joe Rogan will not get impressed by the latest film in the John Wick franchise. The popular podcast host recently missed London and Australia UFC PPVs, but fight fans expect him to return for UFC 287, featuring the title rematch between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya.
