Joe Rogan is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to combat sports. Therefore, when he says it is not smart to get into street fights, there must be some truth to it. The UFC color commentator recently sat down with Hollywood celebrity Dwayne Johnson and discussed multiple topics.
One of the things the duo talked about was combat sports and street fights. Dwayne asked Joe Rogan when was the last time he got into a fight. To this, Joe Rogan replied:
I never got into a street fight. It's one thing if you have to defend yourself, someone's attacking you or someone's attacking someone you love. But to just get into fights because you know how to fight is so cr*zy. "If I could do what you do I'd be beating the f**k out of people", no you wouldn't cause they'll shoot you. They're gonna f**k you up.Joe Rogan via JRE
