“With Dire Physical Consequences” – While Placing the Crown on MMA, Lifelong Practitioner Joe Rogan Rips Into ‘Fake’ Pro-wrestling

Joe Rogan has voiced his love for MMA over a million times, figuratively, of course. The American podcaster has been associated with the UFC for over decades now. Moreover, Rogan is also a martial arts practitioner with black belts under his name in Taekwondo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Meanwhile, the debate of Pro wrestling vs MMA is never-ending. Although the latter involves real combat taking place, the entertainment value of both is still comparable to their respective fans. 

Rick Rubin, a record producer who’s working with popular music bands, made an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. He revealed on the podcast that he was a massive pro wrestling fan. Upon learning that, Rogan, who undoubtedly is an MMA fanatic, shared his thoughts on pro wrestling.

I’ll watch it before I go to sleep and I sleep good if I watch wrestling before I go to sleep… the world’s a good place.”

The UFC commentator burst into laughter upon hearing that and said, “I’m so engrossed in the world of martial arts competition. To me, it’s [pro wrestling] it’s nonsense. It’s just like you know, I get that people like it. I just don’t understand it, to me it’s just like yeah yeah. But they know what’s going on. This is fake.”

While the guest tried to explain to Rogan that pro wrestling was more than just fake and real, the 55-year-old gave his description of MMA. He said, “My description of mixed martial arts is high-level problem solving with dire physical consequences.”
