Rohini, in her role as a UFC writer, combines her admiration for the mental resilience that MMA fighters have and her love for analysis. She has been following UFC since 2020 and very often contemplates the psyche of fighters while they are in action and wonders what kind of mental preparation goes into it.

In her free time, she likes to write poetry or read novels.

The UFC welterweight division is set to see some excitement in 2023. UFC legend and commentator Michael Bisping has dropped details on a fight that promises to be one of the most mouthwatering clashes of 2023. In an Instagram story, Bisping posted about the trilogy fight between Kamaru Usman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/] and Leon Edwards. Both fighters are 1-1 against each other and the third fight will be a decisive one. Many fans are pumped to see if Edwards can defend his title against Usman. Michael Bisping seems to be confirming that the two fighters will be meeting in the octagon again. The speculated date is 18th March 2023. [https://instagram.com/stories/mikebisping/3002244524021759073?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=] The fight was brewing up for a while now, and both fighters had indicated a possibility in March. It seems like stars are aligning and two ferocious fighters with history will face each other again. KAMARU USMAN TASTED FIRST BLOOD Kamaru Usman had taken the first fight between the two fighters that happened at UFC at Fox 17. That fight was tipped as a fight between a striker and a grappler. Kamaru Usman came out on top with a win by decision. The fighters were not so well known then, but gradually moved up in their careers.

Things changed massively when the duo met again for the title at UFC 278 in August earlier this year. LEON EDWARDS SHOCKS UFC WORLD While it seemed that Usman was going to emerge victorious again, looking at the initial rounds. Leon’Rocky’ Edwards did something that left everyone stunned in the Vivint Arena. In the final minutes of the 5th Round, Leon Edwards [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/leon-edwards/] landed a left kick on Usman’s head that dropped him cold. UFC commentator Joe Rogan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joe-rogan/] had the perfect reaction to the kick, and he called the play the best knockout by a left kick ever. Edwards took the belt amidst the arena chanting his name ‘Rocky’. The fight, however, is a thing of the past. When the fighters meet again, they will have a lot at stake. Whoever wins will have bragging rights over the other. Fans will be excited to just watch the two titans go at each other again. Who will you be cheering for?

<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.

<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.

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.

Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as "Marty" because his coach could not pronounce his name properly.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became</a> the NCAA DII champion in 2010.

Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of October 2023, Usman sits at #1 in the UFC welterweight division <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: UFC Career</h2>
After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF.

Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyron Woodley</a> for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it four times.

In his first title defense against Colby Covington at UFC 245, Usman claimed a spectacular fifth-round TKO victory. Then, he defended his title for the second time against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jorge Masvidal</a> at UFC 251, where he won via unanimous decision.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style</h2>

However, his most noteworthy UFC accomplishment is his welterweight championship victory over <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/" target="_self" rel="noopener"><strong>Kamaru Usman</strong></a>Â in a second bout.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">It required seven years of patience on his part to exact revenge for 'Rocky's' last defeat against 'The Nigerian Nightmare' in 2015. Since then, his career in the UFC kept improving, but for the Englishman, obtaining the championship chance was a difficult task. Although he defeated some well-known rivals in the promotion, he was unable to secure the championship chance he so ardently desired. It wasn't until last year that he was offered the opportunity to compete for the title, and he duly lived up to the chance by winning the UFC Welterweight Championship at UFC 278.</p>

He grew up in a hazardous neighborhood, where crimes were a constant occurrence. When he was nine years old, his family immigrated to the UK in search of a better life and settled in Aston, Birmingham, England.
