Man, I don't get caught up on the fact he mentions training a lot during the broadcast. The first couple of times I took buddies to see a UFC PPV, the first thing they'd say, "Hey its the Fear Factor Guy!".

Rogan is a celebrity, albeit a b-level one, and doesn't have to get in the Octagon to prove anything. The fact that he has a background in martial arts and currently trains some MMA gives him some creditability. But he's always going to be a comic and a commentator.

Only in pro-wrestling would you expect a commenter to strap them up.

Joe Rogan's brief training history can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Rogan

His planned fight with Wesley can be found here:
http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...=1079&zoneid=1



As "BigBanda" said, this is pretty impressive for a color commentator like Joe:

After only two years, Rogan earned a black belt at age 15, and achieved a degree of fame as a four-time state Taekwondo champion. In 1987, he won the American Open Tae Kwon Do Championship, and later, as a lightweight champion, went on to beat the middleweight and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship.

Rogan has been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for many years and was recently awarded his brown belt by Eddie Bravo

Tait Fletcher from Eddie's school is also a good friend of Joes. Go to Joe's website and check out his photos. He has alot of pics of himself, Eddie and Tait partying and stuff.
whats the name of the website ??

when someone gets caught with a good shot "he hit him on the button"

When a guy has mounted and is punching down on an opponent, Joe will always say: "He's dropping BOMBS, or he's getting hit with some BOMBS!"
