Other than being the voice of UFC as the main commentator for over two decades, Joe Rogan also participated in various other career opportunities. Rogan used to be a stand-up comedian and once hosted a popular TV show, Fear Factor.
Fear Factor was known for contestants going through tough challenges to win the tasks and consequently money prizes. However, in the 10th episode of the 6th season, a contestant got into a squabble with Joe Rogan. In that episode, a female contestant got scared of the task given and decided to quit along with her partner. Consequently, Their rival couple tried their best to get into their heads and were making fun of the quitting team. Within seconds, the enraged female contestant then went on to hit the male contestant which made Rogan mad.
Joe immediately corrected the female and said that it was wrong. He said: “What are you doing, you can’t assault people. What he did is called strategy, he’s yelling at you. You can’t run up to him and hit him. Like if you and your husband hit each other, that’s one thing, you don’t run up hit other contestants.”
As Rogan made the comment, the woman’s husband suddenly decided to yell at Rogan and both got into a physical altercation. While Rogan was about to do some serious damage to that guy, other contestants interfered and stopped the fight.
One said, “All right, I gotta break this up because Joe’s gonna kill him.” Moments like those just show how much respect people have for Rogan as a trained professional.
