UFC fan Donald Trump talked about different things going around the world, including the popular JRE podcast host, Joe Rogan. The former Fear Factor host, one of the most widely talked about figures, received praise from the forty-fifth US President for his intellect. On the Full Send Podcast, Trump praised Rogan and reiterated his advice. He said, “He [Joe Rogan] is a very interesting guy, that people like listening to. But, you know, they’ve been hitting him very hard. I did tell him one thing – ‘stop apologizing’” Though Trump didn’t know whether Rogan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joe-rogan/] had reached out for help, he was inclined to send the advice to the 54-year-old. When The Nelk Boys asked Trump about the time he had backed Rogan to moderate the 2020 Presidential Debate, Trump responded, “He’s much more talented than Chris Wallace… No, he’s a much more talented person than just about all of these moderators.” Chris Wallace was the moderator [https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2020-09-28/who-is-chris-wallace-presidential-debate-moderator-fox-news] for the first Presidential Debate in 2020.

He did so on the JRE podcast episode featuring Tim Kennedy. When asked if he would host a debate between Trump and Biden, Rogan had said, “First of all, I want no one else in the room, just the three of us. You’d have to stream it live so no one can edit it, and I would want them in there for hours.” JOE ROGAN RETURNED TO THE BROADCAST BOOTH AT UFC 272 The podcast host skipped the UFC 271 event at the last moment, citing scheduling conflicts at the eleventh hour. Thus, UFC fans were wondering when he would return to call the fights. The veteran UFC commentator had a huge welcome at UFC 272 ceremonial weigh-ins. Even at the PPV, many fighters showed their support [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0FSh1zvBKM&ab_channel=UFC-UltimateFightingChampionship] for Rogan, including the main event winner, Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/].

<h3><strong>Who is Colby Covington?</strong></h3>
Colby 'Chaos' Covington is one of the most renowned fighters in the UFC. A part of the promotion's Welterweight roster, Covington is a former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion. As of 2024, he is #6 in the UFC welterweight <a href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Early Life</h3>
Born on February 22, 1988, in Clovis, California, USA, Colby Covington was raised in a middle-class family by his parents Brad and Noelle Covington. He spent much of his early life in Oregon, where he attended the Thurston High School in Springfield. Taking after his father's passion for wrestling, he started learning the sport and began impressing everyone in his school as a wrestler. He then won the state championship as a senior, and this earned him the attention of college scouts who got him enrolled at Iowa Central Community College.

[caption id="attachment_3456144" align="aligncenter" width="5175"]<img class="wp-image-3456144 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1038084842.jpg" alt="" width="5175" height="3555" /> December 16, 2023, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: LEON EDWARDS 21-3-0 of Erdington, birmingham, England defeats COLBY COVINGTON 17-3-0 of Miami, Florida USA by a unanimous decision 49-46, 49-46, 49-46 during UFC 296 at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas Las Vegas USA - ZUMAo117 20231216_zsp_o117_058 Copyright: xMikaelxOnax[/caption]

In his college years, Covington then won the NJCAA Championships in 2007 at 165lbs while also being roommates with Jon Jones. After finding major success as a junior college-level athlete, he soon took a transfer to Oregon State University. In his senior college, Covington truly became a chaotic opponent for whoever he faced, becoming a two-time Pac-10 Conference champion in 2010 and 2011 (at 174lbs) and earning the All-American honors.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Girlfriend</h3>
Not much is known about Covington's dating life, but it was rumored that he was in an alleged relationship with UFC fighter Polyana Viana. While the duo did not directly confirm their relationship, it was insinuated by Covington that he had a sexual relationship with the Brazilian fighter. He stated that his being with Viana was part of the reason why he decided not to accept a short-notice fight against Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Net Worth 2024</h3>

He started with a base salary of $8000, however, as he kept on climbing the ranks in the world of MMA, 'Chaos' has now earned himself a base salary of $750,000.

In fact, his last fight against Leon Edwards earned him around $800k despite being on the losing end.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Joe Rogan?</b></h2>
We know Joe Rogan as a man with many talents - <em>"stand up comic, mixed martial arts fanatic, psychedelic adventurer, host of the joe rogan experience podcast."Â </em>The 56-year-old initially rose to fame as a stand-up comedian, with a comedy career spanning over two decades.Â  A staple for American television, Rogan has done it all, from hosting popular TV shows to becoming the voice of UFC, and now hosts a million-dollar podcast.

His passion for MMA sprung from practicing the sport since he was 13 years old, and by age 19, he secured the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship. Now he retains significant power in the sport's biggest promotion and has been an integral part of UFC fights, be it in the arena or through The JRE: Fight Companion, outside. So here's a detailed peek at the color commentator's life and achievements.

He is a black belt under Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, a style of no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and a black belt in gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado.

Rogan's mother is Susan Lembo. His father, Joseph Rogan, was a police officer in Newark and also an amateur boxer.

Rogan's podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience has become one of the most popular podcasts in the world, with millions of listeners and subscribers.

His connection with the UFC dates back to 1997 when he did his first 12 events for free. But over 25 years later, he continues to commentate for the promotion and is paid well for it. It is estimated that he earns around $50,000 per event.

His comedy career also bloomed over the years. Prior to the pandemic, Joe Rogan performed at approximately 4 venues per month, with an average theater capacity of 15,000 seats and an average ticket price of $60. With an estimated capacity of 80%, the calculation would show 4 venues x 15,000 seats x $60/ticket x 80% capacity x 50% cut x 12 months = $17.3 million per year. Additionally, he has released 6 comedy specials, some of which can be found on Netflix, and is estimated to have earned approximately $5 million for his Netflix special.

Joe Rogan is a co-owner of the health and wellness company 'Onnit', which provides supplements, food, and unique fitness equipment. In 2017, Onnit generated around $28 million in annual revenue, and today it is estimated to be close to $50 million per year.

Rogan receives income from multiple sources through his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. He is paid by Spotify, podcast sponsors, and YouTube. The podcast is estimated to have around 200 million downloads per month, which calculates to 200 million downloads per year / 1000 CPM x $20 x 12 months = $48 million per year from podcast sponsors. He is estimated to have 130 million views on YouTube, and with YouTube's CPM, 130 million views per month / 1000 RPM x $4 = $520,000 per month from YouTube Adsense.

Hence, the UFC commentator has an estimated yearly revenue of $110,520,000 from various sources such as UFC commentating ($2 million), comedy shows ($23 million), Onnit ($2 million), Spotify ($30 million), podcast sponsors ($48 million), and YouTube Adsense ($6.2 million).

And with the renewal of his podcast deal with Spotify for a whopping $250 million, it looks like the numbers are going to change for good. He further no longer has the exclusivity clause, which gives him access to other platforms such as YouTube, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts, meaning he would be generating more revenue from them.
