Joe Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, has attracted attention from all over. Though it hosted by an MMA enthusiast, he calls in guests from all walks of life to have meaningful discussions. However, he frequently turns back to combat and invites UFC fighters to his studio.
This time, Francis Ngannou graced the show with his presence. The UFC heavyweight title challenger described situations of his life, working in sand mines and dumpster diving for food. It is a fantastic listen and one of the more emotional podcasts that Rogan has had.

Joe Rogan: Why was the podcast with Ngannou so special?
There are plenty of phenomenal UFC based podcasts that Joe Rogan has done. The ones with Jorge Masvidal, Kamaru Usman, Georges St-Pierre, Israel Adesanya, etc. are all that come to mind. Usman and Izzy also spoke about their cultures and how important it is for them to represent their roots at the UFC level. But, Ngannou’s motivations are different.
Francis wants people from his hometown in Cameroon to see that life could be improved if one puts all their effort into improving their quality of life. Ngannou went from working in sand mines, to becoming a driver, and to eventually emigrating to France with no prospects. He started MMA after boxing didn’t yield many results for him.
