<h2 style="text-align: center">Daniel Cormier 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Before his career in MMA, Daniel Cormier was one of the most decorated freestyle wrestlers in the USA. He has won gold medals for wrestling in PAN American games, and he <a href="https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2020/August/15/Match-of-the-Day-Daniel-Cormier-takes-bronze-at-the-2007-World-Championships#:~:text=The%20winner%20of%20tonight's%20fight,Kyrgyzstan's%20Aleksey%20Krupnyakov%20for%20bronze." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">won</a> a Bronze in the 2007 World Championship. He also represented the USA in the Olympics in 2004 and secured fourth place. Cormier was also the team captain for the 2008 Olympics in wrestling, but he had to pull out of the event.

Before making his debut in UFC, Daniel Cormier fought in another elite organization, Strikeforce. In the heavyweight division, Cormier <a href="https://www.mmamania.com/2012/5/20/3031845/completed-strikeforce-heavyweight-grand-prix-tournament-bracket-daniel-cormier-wins#:~:text=Daniel%20Cormier%20is%20your%20Strikeforce,a%20stoppage%20in%20the%20quarterfinals." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">won</a> the Grand prix title in Strikeforce by defeating Josh Barnett. In UFC, Cormier started his career in the heavyweight division against former champion, Frank Mir.

However, he dropped to light heavyweight since he did not want to compete against his training partner, Cain Velasquez. In the lightweight division, Cormier challenged <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jon-jones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jon Jones</a> for the title and suffered the first loss of his MMA career.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Joe Rogan 2021: Biography, Net Worth and Salary</h2>
Joe Rogan was born on August 11, 1967, in Newark, New Jersey. He grew up with a keen interest in martial arts. While he had a small career as an amateur fighter, fear of <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/how-joe-rogan-went-from-ufc-announcer-to-21st-century-timothy-leary-182319/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">injuries</a> made him hang his gloves up at the age of 21.

(Photo by Michael Schwartz/WireImage)[/caption]

He started a career as a stand-up comic in <a href="https://twitter.com/joerogan/status/984262251753373696?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Boston</a>, which eventually led to him having a career on TV. Rogan signed a developmental <a href="https://www.organism.earth/library/author/joe-rogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">contract</a> with Disney in 1994 and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/news/hereaposs-how-comedian-and-ufc-commentator-joe-rogan-became-the-worldaposs-highest-paid-podcaster/slidelist/75899171.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">appeared</a> on various networks such as NBC and Fox as an actor in sitcoms.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Joe Rogan: The face of 'Fear Factor'</h2>
While Rogan had already appeared on UFC programming, his first foray into mainstream popularity came with Fear Factor. Rogan accepted to host the show as it would help inspire him to have content for his shows. It isn't coincidental that Rogan's stand-up gigs became national after they saw him <a href="https://youtu.be/oWesRdAB-fI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">host</a> Fear Factor.

The show ended in 2006, but is still considered a part of American TV lore. Rogan will forever be tied to that ambitious TV project.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Joe Rogan meets the UFC</h2>
Rogan <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIOOribOaxY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">debuted</a> as an interviewer for the UFC at UFC 12. He continued working with the promotion for a few years until he left due to low pay. However, Rogan was brought back in 2001 when the UFC was bought by Zuffa. He agreed to do shows for just a bunch of tickets because he was such a fan of the sport.

However, by 2003 he started getting paid regularly by <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dana White</a>. He formed the core of the UFC broadcast booth till 2016 with Mike Goldberg, and since with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-cormier/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Daniel Cormier</a> and Jon Anik. Rogan does 10 UFC shows a year now.
