Joe Rogan could have a conversation about literally anything. The UFC commentator has his friends go deep about Sumo Wrestling.
For fans of mixed martial arts, Joe Rogan might be their favorite UFC commentator, but to the rest of the world, the UFC commentator is one of the biggest podcast hosts. The legendary comedian and MMA connoisseur rarely has dull moments on his Spotify podcast. Rogan is popular for talking about mixed martial arts, politics, fitness, wildlife, and DMT on his popular podcast. But occasionally, he tends to go down the rabbit hole.
Recently on the “Protect the Parks #5” episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Joe had his comedian friends, Ari Sahffir, Mark Normand, and Shane Gillis talk about sumo wrestling.

Any time combat sports is bought up on the show, Joe immediately shows more excitement than ever and is very into the conversation.
Joe Rogan thinks sumo wrestling is “a very strange sport”
Once the topic of sumo wrestling came up, the comedian friends all got into the conversation, and videos of vintage wrestling matches were played as they all commented on it. Joe proposes an idea of an elite wrestler who is 200-300 pounds taking on a sumo wrestler to see the level of skills in both sports.
“Big giant, big bones. Big f**king frame. You gotta be a big f**k to eat so much do you ever watch those sumo wrestlers eat? It’s crazy. Oh my god, because that’s the whole thing. Gotta have mass. In Japan, it’s a gigantic tradition. I mean, just the rich history of it is a big deal over there,” said Joe Rogan on the podcast. The four comedians were then interested to see the best sumo wrestler of all time and Joe asked his editor, Jamie, to pull up a video of the “Jon Jones of sumo wrestling“.
