Watch Joe Rogan lose his mind while commentating for UFC 183 – Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz.

Joe Rogan has been the voice of UFC for a very long time now. The lead commentator is known for his iconic reactions, especially the “Ohhhhh!”

Rogan started out as a stand-up comedian and eventually made his way into the UFC. During the first 12 weeks of his job, Rogan wasn’t even paid. According to Dana White, his passion for the sport of MMA was bigger than his desire for money.

When Nick Diaz turned his back to the ‘Spider,’ Rogan—in a humorous tone—said:

“Look at this! This is the greatest thing I have ever seen!”
