The four-time Massachusetts Taekwondo champion and Brazilian black belt under 10th Planet gym’s Eddie Bravo shared a post of ‘Hitman’ throwing hands and feet on pads.

Rogan started his martial arts journey as a striker. Thus, he is an avid follower of this aspect of martial arts. And in the Muay Thai department, few fighters stand tall against the 8-time Muay Thai world champion, Liam Harrison.
The British athlete is ferocious inside the ONE Circle. Likewise, during training, on the pads, he’s a treat to watch. And the lifelong martial arts practitioner and analyst Rogan realized Harrison’s potential and acknowledged it in his post.
The Bad Company gym standout will compete at ONE on Prime Video 1 on August 26 against Nong-O Gaiyanghadao, ONE bantamweight king for the championship.
Can ONE Championship fulfill a Joe Rogan wish?
The former Fear Factor host commentates on MMA fights for the American promotion, UFC. That said, he has been a massive voice for kickboxing to become a mainstream sport. And with the ever-expanding ONE Championship eyeing the North American market and making big moves like the Prime Video deal, perhaps Rogan’s wishes are closer to getting fulfilled than ever.

On the JRE MMA Show #79, Rogan said, “I’m a big fan of all combat sports, but I really believe that if there’s one sport that doesn’t get its due, it is Muay Thai. I really don’t understand why it hasn’t taken off in America. I don’t get it.”
Rogan further compared it with a popular combat sports format in America. He said, “I love boxing. Boxing is a lot of fun, but I think Muay Thai is twice as fun.”
