Joe Rogan can be considered as one of the most popular celebrities in recent times. Most of this popularity came after his podcast,’ The Joe Rogan Experience’ got global recognition. The New Jersey native first started off as a commentator in UFC and is currently a huge part of the promotion.
It’s weird for fight fans to not hear Rogan’s voice on a pay-per-view event. Rogan is an expert in his job and his commentary made people interested in wrestling in MMA when it was called boring. UFC president Dana White has revealed that Rogan is much more than a commentator and has done a lot for UFC.
Rogan’s reputation skyrocketed when he started his podcast on YouTube. Rogan asked guests from different fields to come to his show and have a candid conversation about almost anything. It instantly got public attention and was frequently watched. In 2020, popular streaming platform Spotify announced a partnership deal with Rogan and JRE was exclusively streamed on Spotify.
