Joe Rogan is known for his wild and unfiltered takes, while most of the time, the UFC color commentator is applauded for he takes this time it might be the opposite. In a recent episode of his popular podcast show, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Rogan claimed that UFC has evolved a lot in the last few years and fighters are much more advanced.
