The UFC commentator was also teary-eyed upon receiving the appreciation. In addition to this, he was congratulated by the other students. Bravo went on to speak about Rogan’s dedication to the art of fighting.

Rogan then said, “… one of the proudest moments of my life and out of all sh*t I have ever done, this is, you know, becoming really good at Jiu-Jitsu is probably one of the most difficult thing a person could probably do. And I think, it helps me whatever I do.”

“I think the more I train and the more I meet people who are in Jiu-Jitsu and anything, I talk about the shi*t all the time. People who are in Jiu-Jitsu and train on a regular basis, they’re healthier people. Their egos are healthier; especially men.”

Thus, it looks like earning the 10th Planet Black Belt was an extremely proud moment for Rogan.
