UFC commentator Joe Rogan is a big combat sports fan. While many know him because of his over 2-decade-long UFC tenure, the BJJ & Taekwondo black belt is also a big boxing fan. In his youth, the 55-year-old followed Mike Tyson, wrecking through the competition as he finished bouts within seconds. This made him a huge Tyson fan. That said, he also witnessed the Baddest Man on the Planet going through rough patches in life, and this got him connected with one of his favorite boxers.

A fan of Tyson and combat sports, Rogan grew up to be one of the top commentators in the business. Besides, he is the world’s biggest podcast host. And since Tyson was a big UFC fan and also became a podcast host after retirement, both of them came across each other frequently.

Joe Rogan showed empathy with Mike Tyson

The veteran UFC commentator had conversations with Tyson, both on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.

While talking about Tyson on JRE episode #1871, Hollywood filmmaker Jon Peters said, “Tyson is maybe one of the consistently smartest guys I’ve listened to… Sometimes he will say some beautiful things, man.”

Rogan agreed and said, “He’s a thoughtful person. And he knows a lot about history.”
