UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has been with the promotion for a long time. He has delivered some of the best fights in the promotion’s history and has beaten names like Urijah Faber, TJ Dillashaw, and Demetrious Johnson. While Cruz earns plaudits for his fighting abilities, Joe Rogan lauded him for his coaching abilities as well. ‘The Dominator’ recently posted the clips of Rogan’s podcast on his IG stories [https://www.instagram.com/stories/dominickcruz/2771574621703925785/?utm_medium=share_sheet]. In an old episode of his podcast, Rogan said, “He is so technical. He’s very good at like breaking down scenarios and what’s happening. Because he is not just an MMA fighter, but he also coaches people.” WATCH THIS STORY: Five Times Israel Adesanya Proved Why He Is The Best Dancer In The UFC [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/ufc-mma-news-five-times-israel-adesanya-proved-why-he-is-the-best-dancer-in-the-ufc/] “You know he has a website now.

(Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) After facing two devastating losses in his career [http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/10f3ba6cd2f44a97], Cruz found his way back into the win column with a victory against Casey Kenney at UFC 259. However, he looked more like himself in his recent win at UFC 269. WHAT IS NEXT FOR DOMINICK CRUZ? In his second fight of 2021, ‘The Dominator’ defeated Pedro Munhoz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pedro-munhoz/] via a unanimous decision. He displayed stunning improvements in this bout and also won the ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus for his performance. With this win, he rose to 7 in the bantamweight rankings. Although the former champion has expressed his interest [https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/12/28/22850531/dominick-cruz-says-itd-be-an-honor-to-fight-jose-aldo-next-think-of-the-things-this-dudes-done] in fighting Jose Aldo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jose-aldo/], the bout might not be possible at the moment as Aldo sits at #3 on the charts.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan: Net Worth 2024, JRE Podcast, Wife, and Spotify Deal</b></h2>
<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.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's</b> e<b>arly life</b></h2>
Joe Rogan was born and brought up in Newark, New Jersey. He was raised in a family with Irish and Italian roots and went to Newton South High School in Massachusetts. He did not pursue higher education and dropped out of the University of Massachusetts, Boston.

The MMA analyst got his start in martial arts as a way to gain self-confidence and learn how to defend himself. Joe Rogan began karate at the age of 14, then taekwondo a year later. He won the lightweight division of the US Open Taekwondo Championship when he was 19 years old, and he later won the full-contact state title in Massachusetts and went on to attain the Grand championship, beating both the middle and heavyweight title holders.

Over the years, Joe Rogan has learned several martial arts, including Taekwondo, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu, and practices yoga and lifts weights to complement his training. 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. However, his parents divorced when he was young,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-joe-rogan-once-made-an-outrageous-confession-about-his-parents-when-their-mother-is-experiencing-violence-from-the-father/" target="_self" rel="noopener">and his father left the family</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's wife and kids</b></h2>
Joe Rogan's wifeÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-what-does-joe-rogans-wife-jessica-ditzel-do-for-a-living-is-she-the-producer-of-the-simpsons-jessica-schimmel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Jessica Ditzel is a multi-talented individual</a>. In 2010, she worked as a model for M Model Management before transitioning to Rent-A-Car as an assistant manager. She has had positions as an account executive for California-based Robert Half Technology and a product analyst for Volvo Motorsports.

</div>
Joe Rogan and Ditzel met in 2001 at a bar in Los Angeles where Ditzel was working as a cocktail waitress. Rogan became a regular customer, frequently visiting the bar until they started seeing each other shortly after. The couple dated for eight years before getting married in 2009.

The couple has three daughters, Kayja Rose Connor, Lola Rogan, and Rosy Rogan.Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-is-joe-rogans-wife-jessica-ditzels-firstborn-the-daughter-of-famous-singer-dino/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joe Rogan is also the step-father to Ditzel's firstborn daughter</a>, Kayja Rose Connor, whom he legally adopted in 2009 from her former relationship with the late singer Keven 'Dino' Conner.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan net worth 2024</b></h2>
Over the years, Joe Rogan has tried his hand in various fields, which has led him to become a fan-favorite UFC commentator. He secured a multi-million deal with Spotify for his podcast, and as of January 2024, he holds a net worth of about $200 million.

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.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-2432110118 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-2432110118 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210208130429/GettyImages-1130878148.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
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.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's professional career and highlights</b></h2>
Joe Rogan has had a multifaceted career in entertainment, starting with his acting career in the 1990s. He played Frank Valente in 'Hardball' in 1994 and later Joe Garrelli in 'NewsRadio' from 1995 to 1999. He also had guest appearances on several TV shows such as 'Good Morning Miami', 'Just Shoot Me' and 'Silicon Valley'.

Besides acting, Rogan began his stand-up career in 1988 at the Boston-area Stitches comic club and went on to make a name for himself in the comedy world. He appeared on TV shows such as 'Fear Factor', 'The Man Show', 'MADtv', and 'Game Show in My Head'- an American reality talent show.

Rogan's commentary career in the UFC began in 1997 and he has since become a well-known interviewer and color commentator for the sport. He hosted 'Fear Factor' in 2001, and 'Late Friday' from 2001 to 2002. In 2009, he launched his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', which has become one of the most popular podcasts.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What businesses does Joe Rogan own?</b></h2>

One of his most significant business ventures is his partnership with the health and wellness company 'Onnit'. He is an advocate for their products and often mentions them on his podcast.

Apart from this, in collaboration with Higher Primate, who are also sponsors to his famous podcast, Rogan sells exclusive merch that surely doesn't hurt his increasing bank.

Rogan also created 'Mothership,' a safe space for comics around the world. This comedy club is nestled in Austin, Texas and it endorses free speech and anti-cancel culture. Rogan made it abundantly clear, as he jokingly stated, <em>"You can't fire me from my own club!"</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Joe Rogan's assets and car collection</b></h2>
The podcaster is known for his extravagant spending habits. He owns a luxurious $14.4 million house in Texas, which boasts a spacious and modern design. Besides that, he also owns a multi-million dollar 14,000-square-foot studio in a warehouse, where he shoots his podcasts.

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&#8217;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.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Merab Dvalishvili Net Worth 2024: Record, Height, Ranking &amp; Age</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Merab Dvalishvili? </strong></h2>
Merab Dvalishvili is one of the most skillful fighters in the UFC. The fighter has proven himself to be a strong force, having a professional <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-merab-dvalishvili-losses-how-many-times-and-against-whom-has-the-ufc-bantamweight-lost/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">record of 17-4</a>. More interestingly, 'The Machine' hasn't lost a single fight since 2018 where he last lost against <strong>Ricky Simon</strong> to a guillotine choke.

Since then, Dvalishvili has climbed the ranks defeating the likes of former champion <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jose-aldo/">Jose Aldo</a>, Henry Cejudo, and as well as <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/petr-yan/">Petr Yan</a>. Now, Dvalishvili is just one win away from becoming the UFC bantamweight champ. Today, 'The Machine' has made a name for himself fighting in the UFC making it clear that his humble beginnings were merely the pulling of a bowstring that shot the arrow slicing through the bantamweight division.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Merab Dvalishviliâ€™s early life</h2>
Merab Dvalishvilli was born in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-merab-dvalishvili-hat-is-it-the-same-as-khabibs-papakha/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tbilisi, Georgia</a>. He started off learning the traditional wrestling style along with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-what-type-of-fighter-is-merab-dvalishvili-is-the-ufc-bantamweight-a-wrestler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sambo and Judo</a>. The 33-year-old had a difficult start once he moved to the United States of America at the age of 21. He would then start training alongside the likes of Ray Longo.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1520997 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-4-1-42.jpg" alt="Merab Dvalishvili" width="1920" height="1080" />

Standing tall at 5 feet 6 inches, he currently stands at #2 in the bantamweight division and has come from a long line of wins. Interestingly, he collected 7 wins and 2 losses before even entering the UFC and lost his first two fights as soon as he did. However, once 'The Machine' found his footing, he became unstoppable.

His parents, Amiran and Darejan Dvalishvili have been absolute pillars for 'The Machine' for his MMA career. He's been through considerable hardships to arrive at where he is today. Of course, they couldn't be prouder. <em>â€œSometimes, I look at my boy and think about how quickly the years have passed.</em> <em>Itâ€™s true that he grew up and has changed, but the stubbornness that ran in his blood has not disappeared. I think this strong character helped him succeed,â€ </em>his father noted about him.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Merab Dvalishvilli's wife and children</strong></h2>
'The Machine' is often seen working hard at Longo and Weidman MMA but never really with a partner made public. Dvalishvili has no wife or children. In fact, when he came to the U.S. he didn't even speak much English to begin with. According to him, he read the language from children's books and brochures just to master the language.

All the while, he worked construction jobs just so he could continue training and make ends meet. It's suffice to say that maybe he's not had entirely too much time to get into relationships. But if he has, he's chosen to not make any of those details public.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Merab Dvalishviliâ€™s net worth 2024</strong></h2>
Dvalishvili is a fighter who has won 10 fights in a row in the UFC. For his last bout at UFC 298, he's reported earned about $210,000 at UFC 298. The UFC star made a similar amount of money when he defeated Jose Aldo.

His net worth, going forward can hence be calculated at around $ 2 million approximately. It has previously been recorded at around $1.8 million which wouldn't be way off but after his fight against Cejudo, certainly his earnings must've shot off.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Merab Dvalishviliâ€™s career timeline</strong></h2>
Dvalishvili started his professional fighting career at Ring of Combat where he lost to<strong> Darren Mima</strong> in 2014. This was his first recorded professional fight. In the same year, he would defeat <strong>Dennis Dombrow</strong>. 'The Machine' would soon fight against <strong>Ricky Bandejas</strong> just two months after his win.

Collecting his second career loss against Bandejas did nothing to deter him. He would go on to collect six wins in a row in Ring of Combat and CES MMA. It was then in 2017 that he joined the UFC. However, the MMA star faced defeat in his first two UFC fights against Ricky Simon and Ricky SimÃ³n.

However, Dvalishvili turned things around pretty quickly, collecting wins over wins against top UFC bantamweights. He defeated Brad Katona, Gustavo Lopez, and Marlon Moraes before fighting the big names.

At UFC 278, 'The Machine' defeated Jose Aldo via a unanimous decision. Next, Petr Yan in a similar fashion. His last victim was Henry Cejudo, who he faced at UFC 298. Now, Merab Dvalishvili gears up to face the UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Merab Dvalishviliâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Merab Dvalishvili has previously acted as an ambassador for Flash Motors, a brand that was promoting their hyper electric scooter, the Infinity X, earlier this year. He is also backed by GA Logistics LLC and is often seen wearing their combat-wear threads.

Collecting his second career loss against Bandejas did nothing to deter him. He would go on to collect six wins in a row in Ring of Combat and CES MMA. It was then in 2017 that he joined the UFC. However, the MMA star faced defeat in his first two UFC fights against Ricky Simon and Ricky SimÃ³n. However, Dvalishvili turned things around pretty quickly, collecting wins over wins against top UFC bantamweights. He defeated Brad Katona, Gustavo Lopez, and Marlon Moraes before fighting the big names. At UFC 278, &#8216;The Machine&#8217; defeated Jose Aldo via a unanimous decision. Next, Petr Yan in a similar fashion. His last victim was Henry Cejudo, who he faced at UFC 298. Now, Merab Dvalishvili gears up to face the UFC bantamweight champion Sean O&#8217;Malley. Merab Dvalishviliâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Merab Dvalishvili has previously acted as an ambassador for Flash Motors, a brand that was promoting their hyper electric scooter, the Infinity X, earlier this year.

The last time he weighed in, his weight was recorded at 134.5 pounds. Dvalishvili is currently on a 10-win streak in the UFC and is #1 in his rankings in the bantamweight division bested only by the champion himself, Sean O&#8217;Malley. He fights out of Garden City, New York where he&#8217;s been training with Longo and Weidman MMA for years now. Merab Dvalishviliâ€™s major achievements and awards Merab Dvalishvili has collected much more than just wins over the past few years of his MMA career. From the performance of the night bonus against Marlon Moraes at UFC 266 to the fight of the night bonus against Ricky SimÃ³n at Fight Night 128. He also holds the record for most unanimous decision wins in the bantamweight division at 7. He has a more interesting record in the bantamweight division history with the second longest win streak at 8 wins, most landed takedowns at 61, and the second most total strikes landed at 1569. He&#8217;s also tied with Demetrious Johnson at fourth place for most takedowns landed in UFC history. He also holds the record for most attempted takedowns at 49 when he fought and defeated Petr Yan. Merab Dvalishviliâ€™s titles In his eighth career fight, Dvalishvili managed to secure the vacant bantamweight title at Ring of Combat. He defeated his opponent, Sukhrob Aydarbekov at ROC 58 by submitting him for good in the second round of the fight. He also defended his title one time successfully. He won the title defense by taking down Raufeon Slots at Ring of Combat 59 by delivering a devastating spinning back fist. The first-round KO ensured that he would remain champion for good.
