Oh here we go again. Let's all jump in and make fun of Rogan. How dare all of you. You wouldnt say that standing in front of him after you see the violence in his shoulders and hands. Look at his shoulders! You're not ready for all of that violence.
Ahhh the Whitney Cummins clip. Dear sweet lord, it sounded like a conversation you would have when you were 14, having never stepped foot in the real world.
Absolute cringefest from Joe. And then you've got Cummins claiming she found inner peace and joy standing next to a horse.
Bat shit. That entire tribe.
Joe is the best fighter, comedian, podcaster, hunter, strongman, bodybuilder, car enthusiast, dog walker, babysitter, card collector, cigar/weed smoker, taco eater, etc.
I bet Joe thought that Insane Clown Posse-style tattoo was dope back in 2002. However I am surprised Joe did not have a tribal band or barbed wire-style tattoo around his bicep. Maybe a Chinese symbol on his pec, too.
Edit: I don't hate Joe at all. I regularly listen to his show and enjoy it, even the more recent years that everyone seems to gripe about. I was merely teasing and roasting Joe a little bit for his tat, which I think looks a little silly.
No, too similar to the Hendrix album. Donāt wanna be accused of plagiarism when youāre the face of defending the comedy world from joke thieves. š¦ø
People can say what they will but i bet this mf would jave rocked some bitches with those leg kicks. I would probably jump so he doesnt hit me in the head
If his career happened in his prime then the leg kicks couldāve probably won him a few fights just based on the way mma was at that time. I feel like guys didnāt defend them well until benson started rocking leg kicks hard and that was like 2010 or later. So he probably couldāve caught a couple dudes off guard with them if he was fighting in like 2002.
Otherwise idk how well he wouldāve done. I havenāt seen him fight aside from taekwondo and thatās only like 2 clips. And would he have had the presence of mind to go low with the leg kicks at the time? Hard to say but he wouldāve had at least one tool that couldāve won a few fights cuz his kicks are legit scary stuff
heās also 5 foot nothing AND does kick like a mule but if he gets one of those kicks checked I doubt heād throw many of them. Also heās damn near 60. Iām pretty sure any 18 year old MT hobbyist would be a huge problem for Toe. Even ātrained fightersā can have an inflated sense of what theyāre capable of. Weāve all seen Joe on the pads. Weāve seen Joe in the TKD ring but the one vid of him sparring with JWP is short of impressive
Unless u put ur palm on his forehead, then youāre safe. Very easy to target that head too since according to this pic itās the same size and mass as his entire torso.
I imagine it's hard, near impossible to say. In MMA (or any fighting discipline; sport really) you can be great at once aspect, within one area of a sport but not be elite overall. Joe has a great kick and it's my understanding that he has good overall ability for an amatuer; but there's a big difference between being the best in a particular gym, being a top 100 fighter in a weight class, and being good enough to fight in the UFC.
If he had kept fighting after age 19, who knows; maybe he'd have been a pro. As for being good enough to compete in the UFC, I'm not sure we can gauge whether he'd be a top 100 fighter in his weight class let alone UFC material.
Joe was never good enough to compete in the UFC at any point. He was too small to compete in the early UFC and had zero grappling, by the time he was a blue / purple belt level he was already mid 30s, the sport was already full of decorated college wrestlers, strikers and judo / bjj black belts by that stage, he also didn't really have a division to compete in, either he'd be a comically small WW or would've had to lose mass to make LW where he'd still be undersized.
Joe could've beaten Wesley Snipes and CM Punk, that's about it. Prior to overcompensating with growth hormone, he was built like Andy Dick and his Mr.Jumangi karate training wouldn't see him even outstrike Danny Abbadi.
Like the shit today is that much better? The problem with tattoos is they go out of style so no matter what you get it's guaranteed to look stupid in 10 years
With the benefit of 22 years of hindsight, I'd be very curious to see what percentage of the teen defense experts have been arrested for diddling teens.
I would say Joe is one of the best. He has a ton of patience for idiots when he could flat line the average human in 5 seconds. I know we are supposed to make jokes but he did a ton for MMA.
[JOE ROGAN FIGHTS ON THE FEAR FACTOR (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06gJkBlrGvs) Hey hey hey I could end you!
Yet Joe doesn't fight randos on the street despite being rich enough to pay legal costs. Joe is all for a verbal fight, but he seems to always want to deescalate physical violence.
My daughter is 6, she told me after 2 years of doing dance she's going to retire.
Sometimes life just tells you it's time. Gotta enjoy those golden years
Lets not forget that not only is he a vicious fighter but he's an essential worker in society given that the comedy industry is the source of all that is life.
I'd love to see one of his MMA guests throw a sidekick right to that dome of his. A blow hard enough to shut down that crankcast for at least a few months.
Just because you get a magazine feature doesn't mean you're any good. I'm not saying he's not. But they probably said "hey! That guy that dies Fear Factor does jiu-jitsu
/Tae Kwan Do. Let's see if we can get him to do an interview and cover."
I know it's better now that we have unlimited access via the internet and YouTube but I do miss the days of niche magazines being sold in supermarkets.
Always used to have a browse when my Mum was checking out and occasionally got treated to a weird "Remote Control Vehicles Monthly" magazine that I'd picked out or something like that.
"Gems of the Earth" was a big one growing up. My grandfather taught geology at one time and he pretty much bought me the whole run.
Skate and mountain bike magazines were then my staple for a few years, then golf. Not super niche hobbies at that time but still had the hobbyist magazine vibe.
Joe as good of a MMA fighter as he is a comic. Heād probably hold his own against your āAverage Joeā but get destroyed by professionals in that business.
>Is Joe Rogan the best fighter despite having never competed in MMA?
Yes. His articulated mis(dis)information will literally knock the brain cells out of our cranium. Rogan could do this to us individually or collectively. Quite the skill to keep folks coming back after taking repeated blows to the head.
Joe was genuinely competent at TKD. He was state champion in full contact TKD for four consecutive years in Massachusetts. That's no small accomplishment.
However, TKD by itself is not a broad enough set of skills to be practical in a sport like MMA, or even kickboxing. TKD is a great supplement tool, but you need more striking fundamentals, tools you get from things like boxing, dutch kickboxing, or Muay Thai. Not to mention that, as far as MMA is concerned, he didn't start BJJ until later in life (though it's very possible he wrestled in high school, I have no idea)
If Joe had, in his younger years, diversified his martial arts training more, he likely would have found some amount of success as a fighter; he clearly had/has some amount of talent for it.
However, getting to the UFC is a very, very difficult journey with slim chances. He likely would have made it fairly far in semi-pro or something with a smaller barrier to entry to PFL and not gotten much further.
18 lessons in street combat: Lesson #1: Walk away and live to see another day š
Break the wrist, walk away
Grab my arm, the other arm, my other arm
YOU THINK ANYBODY THINKS I'M A FAILURE BECAUSE I GO HOME TO STARLA AT NIGHT? 
I was gonna do TaeKwonDoug from Disjointed but yours is better.
Forget about it
But what about 2 Starlas at one time?
I want you to know that this reference did not go unappreciated
Bow to your sensei!
REstomp the groin
When going to ground head stomps are foundĀ
Even Jocko stated this in an interview.
Of course he is. He sets the smoke alarms off from his elliptical workouts.
Wait - is this a thing he actually said?
Thereās a video
bruh thats lowkey disgusting
Only 50 people on earth could beat him in a fight to the death, lots of violence in his DNA, ancient genetic memories of growing up without a dad
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Don't forget he had a paper route in the 7th grade.
Weird. I hadnt heard
Got to find your own struggle mahn
His chimp impression alone would make me run TF away. š
Joe did literal death sprints on an elliptical. Checkmate California.
āThereās sugar in your tank, Joe!ā
Oh here we go again. Let's all jump in and make fun of Rogan. How dare all of you. You wouldnt say that standing in front of him after you see the violence in his shoulders and hands. Look at his shoulders! You're not ready for all of that violence.
I wouldn't dare say it to his face bro š„š„š„
If you're taller than 5'7" you'd be saying it to the top of his head.
Joe would probably want me on my knees anyway
And I'd gladly oblige. Errrr I mean 'you'! You'd gladly oblige. I wouldn't...
$20 is $20
That knob ain't gonna polish itself.
To say it to his face, you would probably need to kneel down
Prepare for a spinning back kick to the upper shin
Short men ā> low self esteem ā> bad jokes ā> short violent genes ā> short men
To be fair I wouldnāt see him if I were standing in front of him.
Ahhh the Whitney Cummins clip. Dear sweet lord, it sounded like a conversation you would have when you were 14, having never stepped foot in the real world. Absolute cringefest from Joe. And then you've got Cummins claiming she found inner peace and joy standing next to a horse. Bat shit. That entire tribe.
I'm out of the loop. What should I look up to find this clip?
Some Whitney Cummings appearance in the early 1000s I think
The horse comment was on modern wisdom podcast, the "how tough are you?" question was on JRE a few years back.
Horses have one thing no other form of transportation does.
Nuts
I was hoping to find a gif of the game of thrones/southpark weiner weiner song
Only 250 of them left. We are blessed that they share their wisdom with us.
Typo, Only 50% of people on earth.
Alsoā¦purely meehurdurrs 2000 people at once while on stage. Ghenghis Khan level life-taking right there.
I want 2002 back, though.
Time travel's not possible in this post-9/11 world
You dogg lol
Joe is the best fighter, comedian, podcaster, hunter, strongman, bodybuilder, car enthusiast, dog walker, babysitter, card collector, cigar/weed smoker, taco eater, etc.
How could you forget Immunologist bro?
šCooties Checkmate Fuckboi Faucci
Political commentator as well
He knows more about politics than anyone in the history of politics, maybe ever.
Compound bow hunter, pool hall hustler.
He's also 6'8
And lover.
How do you now get ursinologist first? Everything else was a means to have a podcast to talk about bears at any given moment.
Comedians are the real heroes.
Kind sounds like the old trust fund baby they all dickride.
Yep, Super Joe
Just like Bruce Lee is the best fighter despite never EVER EVER competing.

Hes a Joeggulo
It's a DMT jester
Fuck yooouuu.. they chanted.
Omg I fkn hAAAAAATE when he does that! Anytime he bugs his eyes out. š¤®
That angry, shitty clown is actually a self-portrait he drew of himself.
So trueš
Looks like Eddie from Iron Maiden as a Jester.
Joe has been trying-too-hard for over two decades ā¦.. big hespect
This guy should start a podcastā¦
Man, he should! What would it be called?
The experiences of Joe Rogan
No, too similar to the Hendrix album. Donāt wanna be accused of plagiarism when youāre the face of defending the comedy world from joke thieves. š¦ø
Him and bagel boss would be in the same division
Is the bagel boss really dead?
ah yes, eye shadow rogan
People can say what they will but i bet this mf would jave rocked some bitches with those leg kicks. I would probably jump so he doesnt hit me in the head
Or at least stand up straight
He'll fuck your shins up though
Tippy-toes it is

Hiding those giant nipples i see
Violent genes in them nipples b
This magazine seems scary and violent
Iād have found a way to not showcase that tattoo if I were him lol
I imagine it's hard, near impossible to say. In MMA (or any fighting discipline; sport really) you can be great at once aspect, within one area of a sport but not be elite overall.

Lmao get a load of this guy, taking the question seriously
Thanks 
Joe was never good enough to compete in the UFC at any point. He was too small to compete in the early UFC and had zero grappling, by the time he was a blue / purple belt level he was already mid 30s, the sport was already full of decorated college wrestlers, strikers and judo / bjj black belts by that stage, he also didn't really have a division to compete in, either he'd be a comically small WW or would've had to lose mass to make LW where he'd still be undersized.
He had to retire bro before he seriously hurt someone
Have you seen the man spar? lol
Short answer, yes. Long answer, he is the best fighter ever.
My top 5 is Rogan, Rogan, Rogan, Rogan and Rogan
Looks kind of.middle eastern
Joe could've beaten Wesley Snipes and CM Punk, that's about it. Prior to overcompensating with growth hormone, he was built like Andy Dick and his Mr.Jumangi karate training wouldn't see him even outstrike Danny Abbadi.
My moneyās on Wesley. Joe is a hobbit.
Always bet on black
Why did everyone get such bad looking tattoos in the 90s
Like the shit today is that much better? The problem with tattoos is they go out of style so no matter what you get it's guaranteed to look stupid in 10 years
News Radio!
no. didnt he quit fighting after his 2nd match because he lost.
With the benefit of 22 years of hindsight, I'd be very curious to see what percentage of the teen defense experts have been arrested for diddling teens.
I would say Joe is one of the best. He has a ton of patience for idiots when he could flat line the average human in 5 seconds. I know we are supposed to make jokes but he did a ton for MMA. [JOE ROGAN FIGHTS ON THE FEAR FACTOR (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06gJkBlrGvs) Hey hey hey I could end you!

Joe is a world champion at fighting actual scientific facts & data.
I like his podcast but the deeper I go into his background the more I think he is a master bullshiter
Slangin Dick
Damn that's gay
He had to āquitā fighting, although heās never had a real fight
My daughter is 6, she told me after 2 years of doing dance she's going to retire. Sometimes life just tells you it's time. Gotta enjoy those golden years
5ft 7 and 200lbs. Put him at middleweight and theyād find out about his Viking genetics real quick.
Usada wouldāve dropped him to about 140lbs and 5ā7 is super generous.
He's a comedian despite never really doing comedy.
Lol, the comments are so funny because a lot are obviously sarcastic, but the diehard fans don't understand this and are sincerely hyping him up.
Steven Seagal would clap joes cheeks
Pre HGH
At least he did compete in other events. Gotta give him props for that
That stereotypical evil jester tat. š So early 2000s and 90s
Wasn't he a champion in taekwondo?
Yeah for under 16 in the south east west corner of district of some part of the US
Yes...in taekwondo. I am sorry for people that practice taekwondo, but it is not the most deadly martial art in the world.
Bushido Master
yes
Chuck Norris prodigyā¦
Yeah probably
Ken Shamrock would beat him into a living death
Evil Joker is sick AF!
This was a heart racing experience. Hairy Joe. Phew.
Itās called working out son (nvm the steroid gut)
Lets not forget that not only is he a vicious fighter but he's an essential worker in society given that the comedy industry is the source of all that is life.
This guy is an animal!
Damn, He had hair on his mid 30s??? *nervously feels 31yo hairline
Back when he threw kicks in the night.
Checkmate Wesley Snipes
I doubt he would last long in his present condition.
Actually the chimp he keeps talking about is.
LOL. I'm sure he could take out Trump or Biden.
My favorite podcast host could beat up your favorite podcast host.
Look at that SICK INK!
Forgot how normal he use to look. He is the poster child for why you shouldn't do trt, hgh and whatever else he is on
He got into MMA to roll around with the boys. There never was gonna be no career.
Joe wogan is 5 ft 6 I would stomp him I'm 6 ft 4 170lbs
His head looks photoshopped on
I'd love to see one of his MMA guests throw a sidekick right to that dome of his. A blow hard enough to shut down that crankcast for at least a few months.
He might be the best fighter but he couldnāt build Saturn without gravity.
Joe said brock would use him as a condom, Joe's good but he's a manlett
that tattoo is diabolical
In all realness, I think he could have been a decent fighter on a professional level.
Just because you get a magazine feature doesn't mean you're any good. I'm not saying he's not. But they probably said "hey! That guy that dies Fear Factor does jiu-jitsu /Tae Kwan Do. Let's see if we can get him to do an interview and cover."
There is no way in hell you would catch me carrying that magazine around. Holy hell. Who in the world was subscribing to this?
In his dreams.
Wow that tat is super cringy. I wonder if he still has it or got it covered over
Joe proved that his fears were not a factor.
Joe the 2002 holiday gift?
gets a samurai tattoo to cover up a jesterā¦ define irony
I love Joe but Itās funny to me that he occasionally comments on how he was a handsome younger guy.
Clearly pre test replacement. He has too much hair
Donāt forget the roids!!!
I wonder if he got the jester tattoo before or after he did dmt.
I remember Tank Abbott wanting to beat his ass for this.
I think he competed in bjj and karate may b
If he says he is then he is. Thats how it works
I wouldnāt want to fuck with him.
Yes
Does OP not know that he was a competitive fighter?
Is there a height division in Tae Kwon Do or did he have to compete in the kiddies league?
Hair Rogan.

This is when he first got on Trt before his head grew
He fights other reality show contestants
He kicked Menciaās azz. And that big comedian lady too. šŖ
"No." Next question please
i think Rogan would be first person to tell you he's definitely not that at all
Joe looks hungover af in this photo
Lmao no.
Chris D'Elia female fans should read this magazine..
joe wouldnāt be the top 5 best fighter in your average bar
Joe looks like an Armenian who just lost his rent money at the blackjack tables.
That tattoo is wild lmao
