Joe Rogan might be commentating at the UFC, but he is also a trained fighter. He has competed previously in MMA, though never as a professional. In fact, fans can sometimes see him practicing moves. However, there was a time when the commentator once taught welterweight great, Georges St-Pierre, how to do a back spinning kick.

In an old video shared on Twitter, the color commentator was seen demonstrating kicks while GSP carefully studied them. Rogan was heard saying, “Notice how everything goes in a straight line. What you’re doing wrong is your knee is low and as you’re kicking, you’re going up.”

“You don’t want to go up, you want to go straight. … Straight line, always straight.”

While Joe Rogan went on to kick the punching bad several times, Rogan stood aside and watched carefully. He seemed to agree with Rogan.

After the MMA analyst was done, St-Pierre went on to try it out and even impressed Rogan. The latter also explained the difference between what he and GSP were doing while kicking.
