WWE Legend Ric Flair Sends a Warning & Offer to Joe Rogan After ‘Dumb Figure-Four Leglock’ Jibe by the UFC Commentator

Joe Rogan’s podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, has gained popularity among all factions of the audience. The JRE episode recently featured Rick Rubin, a Grammy-winning music producer, who turned out to be a fan of pro-wrestling. As the conversation proceeded, Rogan claimed that he found the Figure-four Leglock funny and impractical.

Although he praised Ric Flair, Joe Rogan’s comment on his signature hold took him by surprise. The comment ignited Flair as he sent a challenge to Rogan on Twitter.

Joe Rogan is not a fan of Figure-four Leglock

‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ episode #1881, featured the music producer, Rick Rubin. Rubin being a pro-wrestling fan, the talks couldn’t skip the famous ‘Figure-four Leglock’. The Grammy winning producer turned out to be a fan of Ric Flair’s signature leglock. Joe Rogan called Ric Flair a consummate showman, as he is the one who corresponds with the Figure-four Leglock. 

“A bunch of wrestlers got mad at me… I was trying to explain how dumb a Figure-four Leglock was. Because I was like he’s literally giving up an inside heel hook”, said Joe Rogan. He added, “Inside heel hook is one of the most devastating submission techniques, because once- once someone gets it, the time you have to tap is so small before your knee gets ripped apart.” He claimed that one would never see a Figure-four Leglock in jiu-jitsu competitions. “It doesn’t work”, he further added.

Joe Rogan thought the Figure-four Leglock was pretty hilarious and not practical at all in the real world. However, the master of the Figure-four submission hold could not rest easy.

Ric Flair challenged Joe Rogan

The JRE is a pretty popular show, and undoubtedly, it couldn’t escape the ears of Ric Flair. He challenged Rogan on Twitter.

Flair wrote, “You’re Getting A Lot Of Attention For Calling Me Out! The Only Way To Resolve This Is To Have Me On The Show. I’ll Put You In The Figure Four Leg Lock & We’ll See If You Can Take It! LFG! WOOOOO!” Certainly, upset on Joe Rogan making fun of his signature move, the star wrestler could not hold back. 

Although Rogan did not actually call out Ric Flair, a talk between the two of them in ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ is certain to pique the audiences’ interest. Rogan might not be a fan of the wrestler’s submission technique, but he has admitted that he was amazed by Flair’s trash talk.
