Rogan also couldn’t hold himself back from shedding a tear or two while he had the noted former UFC Welterweight champ, Kamaru Usman, on his podcast. The two talked about how Usman won the UFC Welterweight gold from the then champ, Tyron ‘T-Wood’ Woodley in a 2019 episode of ‘JRE’. However, it was the mention of ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’s’ meeting with Woodley’s mom that had both of them tearing up.
