Joe Rogan, the veteran UFC color commentator, and eight-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, are two of the most prominent names in their respective fields. Interestingly, the duo once came together for over an hour-long chat in 2020 on the famous Joe Rogan Experience podcast hosted by the UFC color commentator.

During the episode, the duo thoroughly talked about Coleman’s life, including his records, diet, injuries, and more. At one point during the conversation, Rogan asked the former IFBB professional about his body fat percentage while he was competing.

The bodybuilding legend told the JRE host he had a 0.33 percent at that time, which quite stunned the latter. “I was point three, three,” Coleman said. “Point three, three, what does that mean? Is that less than three percent?” Rogan replied in shock. 

“That’s less than half a percent,” the former Mr. Olympia further admitted. At this point, the MMA enthusiast was in disbelief. So he further asked, “Point three, three like what!! How does a human get that low?”

“I got to attribute to my genetics,” Coleman replied. Further on, Rogan asked about his offseason body fat number. “About three percent,” Coleman answered. The veteran UFC color commentator is a fitness enthusiast and maintains good shape by working out regularly. Thus, he has enough knowledge about bodybuilding. However, he was still shocked by Coleman’s statement. 

So he further asked, “Three was that high?” To which the 8-time consecutive winner of Mr. Olympia replied, “That’s the highest… I am 330 pounds at that, though.”

Doctors denied Ronnie Coleman’s statements on the Joe Rogan podcast

Professional bodybuilders are famous for having a very less body fat percentage. They cut down even more fat before their competition by cutting down water, sugar, fatty foods, salt, and more.

Coleman claimed about having 0.33 percent body fat during competition. His assertions, however, were refuted by physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist Dr. Brian Sutterer, who said it was inhumanely impossible.

In a YouTube video, Dr. Sutterer said it is necessary to maintain three to five percent of body fat, as fats are vital to absorb vitamins, regulate hormones, and regulate body temperature.

However, Dr. Sutterer further added that the machines that are used to measure body fat percentage aren’t 100 percent accurate. This might have been the case with the legendary bodybuilder, as per Dr. Sutterer.
