Joe fears the Figure Four
— Upset Mr Socko (@UpsetSocko) October 21, 2022
Figure four is a knee bar. Joe should know this? First I’ve seen of a beef here.

Rogan says Figure Four Leg Lock is deadly in Jiu Jitsu
Despite laughing at Rubin’s comments about his love for wrestling, and calling Figure Four Leg Lock a “dumb” move, Rogan explained how the same move called Inside Heel Hook is dangerous in Jiu Jitsu.
Rogan said, “I was trying to explain how dumb a Figure Four Leg Lock was because I was like literally giving up an Inside Heel Hook. Because again Inside Heel Hook is one of the most devastating submission techniques.”
He added, “Once someone gets it, the time you have to tap is so small before your knee gets ripped apart. So a Figure Four Leg Lock you will never see in a Jiu-Jitsu competition.”

Rogan called this funny as wrestlers doing a move in the ring is a deadly maneuver outside the industry. Furthermore, he stated the submission move Boston Crab is very effective and a handful of MMA fighters have used it in their matches.
