The 55-year-old UFC commentator Joe Rogan talks about the scariest injuries in MMA. Rogan joined the UFC in 1997 as an interviewer and color commentator and has witnessed fighters undergo serious injuries over the years. While talking on The Joe Rogan Experience with UFC bantamweight Cory Sandhagen, Rogan detailed how some fighters’ careers took a turn for the worst, with injuries caused during the fight. When an MMA fighter suffers an injury, it takes months and sometimes years, to recover. In some worst scenarios, the injury haunts the fighters for a lifetime.

Undoubtedly, a fighter puts himself in serious danger every time they set out to bout against an opponent who would be equally tough. This factor makes the UFC commentator appreciate the willpower of each fighter, but at the same time, damage happening to a fighter’s body is indeed a matter of concern. After a bout, every contender might go through some minor to major injuries. However, some of them are nothing less than nightmares, like the injury that happened to UFC superstar Conor McGregor. In JRE, Rogan details those injuries that are the scariest including the one suffered by the Irishman.
