Joe Rogan has been a mainstay in the post-fight octagon interviews for a very long time now. The 55-year-old has had the opportunity to interview the greats of the sport throughout the years. While he has also been a part of debatable topics like interviewing fighters who get knocked out, there are a few interactions that have left fans with a smile on their face. 

One such instance was at UFC 270 when he interviewed Crystal Demopoulos after her win against Silvana Gómez Juárez. As fans can recollect, the 34-year-old Strawweight leaped onto Rogan’s arms in an excited state.

Her caption read: “ONE YEAR AGO. This was such an awesome moment! Thanx Joe Rogan for enjoying that with me. The magnitude is that getting interviewed means WINNING a fight in the UFC. Can’t even explain how amazing this moment is. I get to go out and continue living my dreams with UFC Time to buckle up the seatbelt. It’s a wild ride and we just began!!”

Many fans won’t know that the 34-year-old Strawweight had genuine reasons to be grateful for her opportunity. Earlier, Demopoulos used to make a living working as a pole dancer. Although she never hid it from her fans, she had to quit the profession in order to focus on her fighting career.
