UFC color commentator Joe Rogan talks about a variety of topics on his famed Spotify podcast (The Joe Rogan Experience). His conversations in the past couple of months had a staple topic: The Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial. The former Fear Factor host, Rogan, frequently showed his support for the Pirates of the Caribbean star.

During a conversation with retired Navy SEAL Kristin Beck, on JRE #1827, Rogan and the guest talked about how some people don’t understand the real meaning of words like “courage” and “hero.”

Kristin Beck suggested her ‘buddies’ from the SEAL, whom they remembered on Memorial Day, are the real heroes. Rogan abruptly included, “Also Johnny Depp.” Beck took it lightly and said, “Johnny Depp is definitely a hero.” 

The 54-year-old UFC icon appears to be a massive fan of the 58-year-old Hollywood star and has often praised Depp.

Anyhow, Rogan’s primary job is analyzing the UFC fights. The JRE host recently gave his opinion on the controversial decision in the rematch between Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling.

The bantamweight title picture saw an interesting twist when Petr Yan made an erroneous decision and landed a brutal knee to a downed Aljamain Sterling in their first bout. In the 13 months between fights, ‘No Mercy’ secured the interim bantamweight championship in a stellar bout against top bantamweight contender Cory Sandhagen. During that time, Sterling went through neck surgery and a recovery process.
