When Joe Rogan silenced his best friend’s challenge with his Jiu-Jitsu skills

Shane Gillis recently sat down with noted comic Andrew Schulz for an amusing discussion on the FLAGRANT YouTube podcast. Well past the one-hour mark into their conversation, Gillis starts by admitting to challenging Rogan while under the influence of alcohol. He playfully recalled that he taunted Rogan by declaring, “You can’t tap me dude. Jiu-Jitsu’s g*y.” 

As a former offensive lineman for the United States Military Academy Black Knights, Gillis stood tall at 6-foot-4, towering over the 5-foot-7 Rogan. However, size wouldn’t be the deciding factor in this confrontation. However, the humor took a back seat when Gillis elaborated on the actual showdown.
