Several UFC fighters have gone through relocations due to various reasons. A number of them, like Rose Namajunas, had to go through this experience during their childhood. But there are others, like Valentina Shevchenko, who relocated to a faraway place during their adolescence. In most cases, there’s a strong reason behind the relocation of a person. But a large chunk of UFC fans may be completely ignorant of the fact that even the famed color commentator of the UFC, Joe Rogan, once chose to settle down in a faraway land.

Well, the 56-year-old is no stranger to relocations. Several credible sources say that Rogan was born in Newark, New Jersey. At the age of 7, he moved to San Francisco, California, with his mother. Then they moved to Gainesville, Florida when he was 11. They later settled in Newton Upper Falls, Massachusetts. However, he scored a commendable deal with ‘Disney’ following his relocation to Los Angeles, California, in 1994. But after a 26-year-long stay in LA, Rogan decided to shift his home once more to Austin, Texas. So let’s learn about the factors that propelled the 56-year-old comedian to change his residence again and how much it cost.

Joe Rogan spent a fortune on relocating

Most of us may already know that Rogan has amassed a massive following, along with loads of wealth, from his work in multiple fields. ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ host decided to relocate again in the year 2020 when he boasted a humongous net worth of $140 million. Hence, it’s quite apparent that he won’t mind spending a piece of it to purchase a luxurious place to reside in.

Reports say that Rogan’s mansion in Austin, Texas, cost him around $14.4 million. They also reveal that the noted comedian moved to Texas with his entire family. But as already mentioned, in most cases, there is a strong reason behind the relocation of a person. But a large chunk of fans may be completely unaware of the reasons that propelled Rogan’s relocation.

Well, the UFC color commentator himself revealed his reasons behind his relocation in episode #1514 of his noted podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. Rogan was joined by the famous founder of the ‘Spartan’ obstacle races, Joe De Sena, in the episode. Amidst one of their conversations, Rogan stated, “I just want to go somewhere in the center of the country, somewhere it’s easier to travel to both places and somewhere we have a little bit more freedom.”

He also answered the conspiracy theories that a large chunk of people were putting up about his relocation. They said that Rogan wanted to save himself from paying taxes. But the JRE host debunked all such claims, stating, “I’m not a person who wants to keep all my money and not pay taxes”. Well, wherever he stays, UFC fans miss him every time he’s absent from the commentary table of a UFC PPV. But will Rogan be there to comment on the upcoming UFC 295?
