Not your typical “Joe,” is renowned UFC analyst Joe Rogan! Being a master of several crafts, the 57-year-old has left his mark in a variety of fields, including fight commentary, martial arts, and stand-up comedy. Having said that, Rogan is not the person you should turn to for NBA or football.
The American confessed his lack of skill in basketball and football during a recent episode of his wildly successful JRE podcast, which was hosted by fellow comedian Tom Segura. This revelation motivated the American to rejoin the UFC. When Tom brought up his interaction with Rogan’s boss and friend, Dana White, the topic abruptly shifted. Thinking back to his days working for the minor league from 1997 to 1998, Segura praised Rogan’s unwavering love of the game.
At this point, Rogan came clean about being the best at just one sport and turning it into a career. In fact, according to Rogan himself, MMA is the only sport that interests him, and he has no interest in learning about other sports.

He also knows very little about the other American sports, such as basketball and football. Joe said,
“It’s the only sport I know, I don’t even know the rules to basketball and they blow that whistle, I don’t know what the f*ck is going on. I mean I do watch fights but when I watch fights like, I don’t have to say, ‘Oh, this guy has a great question mark (kick), I already know what he does!”
Eventually, Dana and company invested into the promotion to grow it into the massive organization it is today, which brought him into the UFC.
Segura was also astounded to learn that Rogan made all of the decisions without having to prepare since, after all, it’s the one thing he enjoys doing with all of his heart.
In other news, Rogan discussed the idea of athletes transitioning to mixed martial arts (MMA) and suggested that NBA legend LeBron James should follow suit by dominating the UFC similarly to his illustrious reign in the NBA.
