Joe Rogan, the comedian, and the UFC commentator, is one of the most popular figures in the MMA community. Rogan runs a very successful podcast named the Joe Rogan Experience. It is one of the most popular podcasts in America.

The UFC Welterweight Leon Edwards joined Joe Rogan after his no-contest at UFC Fight Night. Rogan talked about how comedians and fighters are a little similar to each other as too many people don’t understand them very well. The only people who understand them are the ones who stay and train together.

Rogan opened up about the amount of work that a fighter puts in and the sacrifice they make. Joe Rogan said “There is a similarity in the way fighters and comedians hang out with is that not too many people understand you guys like you.

“You know, like fighters and your coaches and your training partners and the people you work with, they know you. Regular people would never understand the amount of sacrifice and commitment and what it’s like to go through hard sparring sessions.

“What it’s like to go to hard strength and conditioning. So like that you’re always pushing yourself, constantly pushing yourself. They get it like so it’s hard to relate to other people”.

The life of a fighter is hard

People only see the result but they are not aware of the hard work. The hard work remains a mystery to the fans. The life of a fighter is really hard as they put their life on the line every time they step inside the Octagon.
