Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan’s journey to fame began not in entertainment but martial arts. A natural talent, he started competing in taekwondo and kickboxing at 15 and even won his first US Open grand championship at 19. Concerned about the potential for head injuries, a wise decision for a young athlete, Joe made the difficult choice to retire from competition in 1989 and turned to stand-up comedy.

His comedic talent and fighting spirit proved to be a winning combination, leading him to host “Fear Factor” and later launch “The Joe Rogan Experience,” a podcast that skyrocketed in popularity. Joe’s martial arts background is also evident in his commentary on UFC fights.
