The video starts with Rogan and Bravo, with a few other members at Bravo’s gym, having a conversation about a guy who challenged Rogan to a grappling contest. In what is a very hard-to-hear video, Bravo appeared to ask Rogan how many times he tapped his Myspace opponent.
Rogan said, “3 times he quit.” Moments later, Rogan added, “I was gonna triangle the f*** out of him if he was to keep going. It was death… death was stored for him. I would’ve tapped him at least 20 times. I attacked that motherf***er.”
The frame then cut out to Rogan, grappling with someone. The JRE host dominated his opponent and choked them multiple times. Thereafter, Eddie Bravo, in the background, described who the opponent was. He said, “This guy challenged Joe Rogan on Myspace. That’s what happens when you challenge Joe Rogan.”
