“And That’s Why People Die” – MMA Superfan Joe Rogan, Despite His Love for Combat, Disapproves of Street Fighting in Grave Fashion

The Joe Rogan Experience, besides offering everything under the sun, also provides its listeners with a lucid account of events. Further, the popular host, Joe Rogan, sits with the guests over lengthy conversations. And the UFC commentator presents the listeners with interesting anecdotes and hot takes. Similarly, Rogan had a different take on street fights in the latest JRE episode.

In JRE MMA Show #132, the color commentator sat down with the UFC star Joaquin Buckley. The duo talked about the fighter’s upcoming fight at UFC 282, spinning back kicks, and fighting Khamzat Chimaev. Also, they had a peculiar conversation about King Of The Streets and real street fighting.

What did Joe Rogan say?

The famous TV presenter asked the middleweight fighter whether his popularity changed anything substantial or if people still messed with him. Following this conversation, Buckley mentioned that he carried himself with respect and never jacked up a lot of guys even while working security.

Subsequently, ‘New Mansa’ claimed that he was undefeated in the streets. To this, the former Fear Factor host replied, “I’m glad that you are out of that situation now. That’s a dangerous game to play.”

Later on, the MMA fighter disclosed that he had planned that for a long time. He added further, “And that’s why I say like, it ain’t scary getting into that cage.”

The famed commentator also pointed out that it was calmer in the cage for the people who were involved in numerous street fights. Buckley agreed with the statement and then detailed the reason. He pointed out that the referee could stop the fight if anything happened. However, this was not the case in street fighting.

“You know, you don’t got the industry element, you know. I mean, because once you get knocked out, I didn’t see dude, they get KO and do keep pumping. Boom, boom. And not stopping,” the 28-year-old fighter continued.
