The guy then says, “I have monster books in my car,” due to which a young Rogan started to follow him.

Joe Rogan talks about Striking Specialists
Joe Rogan talks about how he is a sucker for specialists, such as fighters like Israel Adesanya and Demian Maia, who specialize in their striking ability. Rogan spoke about this on his JRE podcast with UFC referee Herb Dean, who spoke about how Adesanya is getting better with every fight and how he sets up traps by avoiding takedowns and keeping the fighter standing.
They also talk about how Jon Jones doesn’t just specialize in striking but has different styles, like in a “Kung-fu movie.” Rogan then adds by saying “Jon is such a good kicker too.” Kicking is a very important tool in Jones’s arsenal, as he has long legs and knows how to utilize them. He also gathers information while fighting and then decides what he is going to do with that in order to defeat his opponent strategically.
