Joe Rogan is a man who always understands the assignment. Built like a fighter, he is one of the most in-shape 54-year-olds in the world. Being in the MMA scene for decades together, Joe Rogan has pieced together an incredible career that is still going strong. 

Some people don’t know the fact that Rogan is a legit fighter himself. He’s been involved in the world of MMA for a lot longer than some people know. A former four-time Taekwondo champion from Massachusetts, Rogan is a specialist when it comes to the art of Taekwondo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 

A relatively rare clip of Rogan in his Taekwondo days is a treat for fans that haven’t seen it. Known to have a lethal spinning back kick, Rogan knocked out his opponent with the very same move back in 1987. Take a look at the amazing knockout in the video above. 

What martial art forms does Joe Rogan specialize in? 

Joe Rogan might have been a Taekwondo champion years before, but what martial art forms does he focus on currently? The 54-year-old is not a professional fighter but indeed does train like one. With intense workouts and recovery sessions, Joe Rogan also makes MMA training a staple in his everyday routine.

In the video above, you can clearly see Joe Rogan showcasing his BJJ skills to TJ Dillashaw, the former two-time UFC Bantamweight champion. During a sparring session with 8-time Muay Thai world champion Liam Harrison, Rogan proceeded to drop him. Albeit it was sparring, no easy feat nonetheless. 

Can Joe Rogan ever come to the UFC octagon? 

Despite being a highly active individual, Rogan ever gracing the octagon ring for a professional fight is very unlikely. The man makes more than most fighters in the promotion and is practically set for life.

With a really busy schedule of The Joe Rogan Experience and UFC commentating, it might be illogical for Rogan to step out of that bubble and compete. His age is the primary factor in play, making it irrational for him to compete. Perhaps a celebrity exhibition of BJJ match might seem plausible.
