UFC’s longtime color commentator Joe Rogan once had the perfect reaction to a fan drop-kicking bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The multiple times Mr. Olympia title winner Schwarzenegger is one of the strongest men to ever set foot on the planet. Even though old age has caught up with Austrian, he is not someone you can easily knock down.

So, when news of the incident of Schwarzenegger being kicked by a ‘crazy’ fan while posing for selfies in South Africa reached Rogan, his reaction was one to watch out for.

On his podcast, Rogan stated, “This kid drop-kicked Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think he was crazy because he was saying, he was screaming out, ‘Help me! I need a Lamborghini’, while they were arresting him.”

“Look, what really happened to Arnold? Nothing. What’s really gonna happen to that kid? Probably go to jail. Actually, I don’t know South Africa,” Rogan continued.

“He got drop-kicked and with poor technique. I want to say the kid had no follow-through. Barely knocked a 71-year-old. First of all, even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is 71 years old, he is still a 71-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger, he’s still a tank. But I mean, he didn’t even fall over.”

Joe Rogan was impressed by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s endurance

Not only did Joe Rogan, who himself has a ripped body for someone who has crossed 50 years of age, react hilariously to the incident, but he was also impressed by the 71-year-old’s endurance.

Later in the same podcast episode, Rogan highlighted how the kid drop-kicked Schwarzenegger out of the blue, but still couldn’t put down the legendary bodybuilder.

In Rogan’s own words, “The kid drop-kicks him. He didn’t even know it was coming, right? He gets hit in the middle of his back… and he’s fine. It’s kind of impressive.”

Rogan himself is not a stranger to the world of bodybuilding and knows what true strength means. He is a black belt in jiu-jitsu and has trained in other forms of martial arts as well.
