Joe Rogan, in his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, opened up about his school bully. In episode #1871, he shared his experience with the Hollywood film producer, Jon Peters.

Rogan and Peters shared the mic and blew the lid off many close-to-the-heart secrets. While Peters confessed that his father had died in front of him, the UFC color commentator shared the incident that paved the way for his career.

The same humiliating incident changed Joe Rogan, and then he trained himself in wrestling and MMA. With this incident, the UFC commentator has opened the lane for other MMA personalities to open up about their childhood bully.

Chael Sonnen talks about his experience with bullying

It’s rare to see athletes talk about their disturbing past incidents and how these incidents shaped them. In a recent video on his YouTube channel, the UFC legend Chael Sonnen unclogged himself and talked about his first bully.

He said, “I was a sophomore. The guy was a senior. We were backed up to each other in typing class. Unprovoked, he reaches over and pulls my shirt back, rips my shirt.”

The American further added, “First of, that’s just a mean thing to do.” Besides this, he also clarified his financial situation during those days.

The submission grappler stated, “Secondly, I didn’t have very many shirts. Money was not flowing through sun. I only had so many shirts to wear and he just ripped one of them.”
