MMA and the UFC - Joe Rogan Interview

[davidmmmmmmmmmm]

I love listening to joe Rogan he's the smartest stupid looking mother fucker ive ever heard. You should watch some of his videos when he talks about dmt...Some of the stuff he says is fucking eye oppening.

[jack11643]

Im High as fucked, And ive noticed that Joe's thoughts pattern are pretty unique....some of the analogies who uses are creative as fuck

[Future0331]

Joe Rogan is the shit! Rogan for president 2012! lmfao

[fumanboy]

Dude I could seriously listen to joe all day everyday...He's too fucking cool and Bright!

[iwatchyouson]

he's high as fuck. ahaha

[aman00777]

whats up with him here, he looks old and ill?

[oOIZodiacIOo]

@aman00777 It's called winter when everyone looks twice their age with heavy beardage and pale complexion due to lack of sun. He also sounds high lol

[06livefast]

@oOIZodiacIOo lol dude. Rogan lives in Cali.

[apsychoicon]

The best "Voice" in the showbiz!

[JayGOS117]

Joe Ro'...he ain't just funny :)

[ExequielB711]

Gotta promote his shit cause he rocks. Everyone download his podcasts on itunes. Hilarious stuff along with interesting conversations.

[michaelNYC1024]

He might be the coolest muther fucker on earth

[jimtheadoremorrison]

[grandaddynative]

[jaatendi]

@grandaddynative

[jaatendi]

@grandaddynative

Haha thats hilirious!

[c6lt9n]

i never really appreciated this guy untill i started watching mma

[fakkadihellbitch]

Its modern gladiators !! ofc Real MEN like to watch that

[LilBlitz116]

out of bounds shut the fuck up.loooooool

[LilBlitz116]

his attitude towards other sports is so funny

[wade2thehamilton]

its a great sport but its not the purest form. the purest form would be your allowed to eye gouge your allowed shots to the grown. if im fighting for my life in 100000 BC on a field with 1 other person im gonna be kicking him in the balls eye gouging doing whatever to survive. Not that I would wanna watch that, I'm a huge mma fan just saying. But yeah joe is awesome

[TruNikkaz]

i love this man

[IMnotSAS]

This vid has a bin laden look to it, and he is also sporting a beard, i always wondered by joe was so out spoken and extremist in the ufc shows and why he loves it so much, damn guys in alqaeda!!!! wtf????????

[th2om4as0]

chimpanzee DNA

[Jamzkangster]

makes me almost cry how far MMA has come.

[Sprafikk]

@Jamzkangster And you can thank Bruce Lee. Dana White does.

[HUNTER7697]

@Sprafikk Real Talk . Grand Master Lee Perfected the Art before it was considerd an Art . . . MMA would be on a higher level if he were still around . . . Bruce was a Human Weapon

[IMnotSAS]

@HUNTER7697

bullcrap, he would be 70 and no one would give a fuck bout him

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS you aint got no respect u piece of shit ! even Arnold (the guy u apparently want to be like) has been caught sayn Bruce was one of his Biggest inspiration when he first got into body building u dumb ungrateful lil punk...and i garuntee at 70 he would still lay the motherFuckN Smack Down on your Ass ... bitch please

[IMnotSAS]

@HUNTER7697

"ungratful punk" WHAT the fuck should i be grateful to bruce lee? did he cure diseases? talk to God? feed the poor? eradicate poverty? you think he was wise and deep? get the fuck out of here, he was 32 and used to eat cats and frogs!

and cheated on his wife too, and i am supposed to respect him, because he made some movies and cash, Arnold dont know fuck all bout fighting u dick head

Bas rutten ufc champ said, bruce wud get butt wiped in ufc, u dummy,

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS no but with out Bruce ... you would be watching boxing or gay ass wrestling . He was the first none american to star in a major american film for a fuckn reason. because was the real deal.EAT CATS AND FROGS??? u sorry racist fuck tard .Cheated on his wife ??? LMAO Fame Brings Bitches and Bitches Bring Lies.I did not say Arnold new a damn thing about fighting i said he saw Bruce as one of his Idols and Biggest inspirations ... becuz he was so Damn Huge at that Weight .kan u not READ?

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS Bas Rutten? WHO THE FUCK CARES!!! they are rules to fighting in the octogon - which did not exist then - but either way to say he would not Be As much of Beast today as he was way back when - is just idiotic and disrespectful...The Fraise "butt wiped in the ufc, u dummy" shows u are not very educated so ... stop posten stupidity. how many guys in the ufc or mma today for that matter could do what he could? NO ONE ! One inch Punch !?1?- 2finger one handed push ups like they wasnt shyt!?

[IMnotSAS]

@HUNTER7697

Most professional MMA guys will tell you Bruce lee has no chance of winning in the ufc, and anyone with a little intelligence will tell you the same, Bruce lee was studying judo, and could not wrestle, any guy who cant wrestle cant win. You talk about fighting without rules etc, but those fights are just bitch fights, the octagon is where its at, its a professional level. Wingchun is wank, jeet kune do is wank, and the 1 inch punch is just for show and isnt effective u dummy

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS MMA was Not Even a Fraise befor Bruce Lee Came up . How would they know? Who is Most Professional MMA guys? that would mean the one you see on TV? He was studying JudO??? He studied all effective fighting methods and combined them into one fighting system.Jeet Kune Do -.- U ARE AS SMART AS A MAD 3RD GRADER! LMAO u gota wise up...He was a Real Fighter...Any man who can generate that much force from an inch away is a powerful indavidual and should not be underestimated...in any way

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS Bruce lee was studying judo, and could not wrestle, any guy who cant wrestle cant win??????? So u telling me you aint never seen a fight end with out going to the Ground??? YOu Out Yo MUTHA FUCHN MIND FOOL . and BLind Too .

[IMnotSAS]

@HUNTER7697

No anyone who cant wrestle cant win in the ufc, name any striker in the ufc who cant wrestle? if you just know judo or striking they will take you down and ground and pound your fucking ass, even bjj cant beat wrestling, they all study wrestling,

bottom line is if you cant wrestle the ufc guys wont mess around and just take you down because they know its your achilles heel, e.g randy couture vs heavyweight boxing champ Tony, so i guess you are blind, you dumb motherfucker!!!

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS ohkay once agian u aint reading anything ive said. if u fight for real like he did with no rules then of course you would study ground techniques aswell. which he fully understood. you have this idea that wrestling is the best way to fight. it is unwise to relie on one stradegy . if your foot work is good then it is very hard to put u on your back no matter how small the room or ring. if you move then it will not go to the ground. also you should read your on comment b4 u click post.

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS and if you know so much about the ufc and watch it so damn much then you should feel like a jackass for posting "anyone who cant wrestle cant win in the ufc". your telling me you have never seen a True KO in the octogon???. test your theory like he did. anything that is not valide or untrue with become easily noticed. he didnt just come up with all this oneday watching boxing. he got out and got into fights. he was the first to make his students do full contact sparring.End of story

[IMnotSAS]

@HUNTER7697

Listen stupid let me make this simple, its called mixed martial arts because you have to have a mixed bag of skills just to survive let alone win, you have to strike wrestle and submit, if you are lacking in any one of these skills you will lose, so if you cant wrestle you will lose, if you can wrestle but cant defend against a submission you will lose, if you can strike you will loose and vise versa, dumb fuck!!!!!!

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS ok u lost me-i am sorry for argueing with a child-i feel foolish now-becuse u just said you should be well rounded in every aspect (atleast i think thats what u meant) which is exactly what Bruce was Teaching us In the 60s and early 70s!!!LMFAO!!!JEET KUNE DO!!! u just cussed me for that???U practicly took what i was saying and FUCKED IT UP only the way you gurly men in tights now how - by insisting that the ground game is the game to play lol fuck around and loose yo brains onda floor

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS in his book the tao of jeet kune do he has stressd the danger of going to the ground and knew to end the fight befor it goes to the ground.his foot work was insane.on pages116 to 123 he gos over ju-jitsu(the most said word in "MMA")take downs,head locks,Leg Locks, arm Locks, reversals, neck cranks..but your right he did not know what he was talking about and couldnt Wrestle HAHAHA

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS he was showing us moves that would be ilegal in the ring . he also said if you are talking about fighting, as is , with no rules, then you better train EVERY SINGLE PART of your body...u think he was Fake?i think if have of the guys u love to watch roll around and play grab ass would get the head stomp inda street . he was Smarter than your average fighter.Leading? Feinting? Drawing? In-Fighting? you dont even have a clue what these are do you??? These are the Tools of a Real Fighter

[IMnotSAS]

@Sprafikk

and how do we thank him, dig him up and shake his hand?

[IMnotSAS]

@Jamzkangster

soppy bastard

[HUNTER7697]

@IMnotSAS u speak on subjects you know NOTHING about.but just Keep Runnin off at the Mouth...cuz you gone get that Face Caved in one day trying to WRESTLE around in your lil tights Girly Man!

[13Azzinoth37]

I have so much appreciation for the founders of the sport, the ones who fought for the hell of it, not for money or fame. The people like Joe Rogan who helped bring it up from the ground just with the sheer faith in it.

It's really a gift for aspiring fighters like myself, I'm so glad these people fought to bring it to this point.

[Toolband42O]

@tashi005 Learn to spell. Fucking illiterate douche bag.

[will12352]

@Toolband42O  It really, really annoys me when people use words they don't understand. Illiteracy is lacking the ability to read and write, it has nothing to do with grammatical errors. Get the fuck off your high horse and stop being an ignorant, pretentious wanker.

[zacklyzun]

Joe Rogan is the voice of the common man

[Kwaynte]

I agree with everything he just said...

[tom101177]

When I first saw cage fighting about 15 years ago I wrote it off as mindless violence but now I just can't get enough of it. watching fighters like Anderson Silva, GSP, Crocrop, Nogueira, Faber and obviously the greatest, Fedor it just blows my mind. Kicks ass on boxing which is a great sport in its true form but its just so corrupt nowadays. I just hope that MMA and in particular the UFC keeps its integrity.

[BonerJams7]

@tom101177 Would agree with everything until you said Fedor was obviously the greatest when he's refused to fight the best and come to teh UFC. Hell, after watchin Cain last night I bet he could take Fedor and I'm not just basing this off of his win over Nog.

[tom101177]

Well we will have to agree to disagree on that one. The reason he doesn't fight in the UFC is nothing to do with 'refusing to fight the best' It is a contractual conflict between The UFC and M1 Global over the rights to co promote. Secondly, pretty much everyone in the UFC totally agrees that Fedor is the best - Mir, Penn, GSP, Vera, Couture etc. Lesnar is the one who is overated. Did you see how tired he was against Herring? I havn't seen UFC 110 yet so cant comment but agreed, Cain is awesome.

[rsuryase]

We have come a long way from apes, hence sports like football and basketball and baseball are more popular than mma or boxing.

[TheBlackSpoon]

Internationally boxing has creamed most sports in prestige for as long as its been around. People know Mohammed Ali and Mike Tyson all around the world. Basketball is popular internationally, lots of people knew of Michael Jordan, but thats about it. I couldnt name one baseball player. MMA will get very big, its roots are very strong and international and regional with Martial Arts.

[dietermauer]

Baseball and Basketball are only popular in few countrys, and that will not change.

MMA on the other hand, is the fastest growing sports in the world. In about 10-20 years MMA will be about as famous, as Football.

Even in Countrys like Brasil or Germany.

[dietermauer]

I think excactly the same way Joe does.

I always have to wonder when i show people MMA fights (here in Germany most people dont even know what that is) and they are like "uughhhh how can you watch that shit?" while im thinkng that it is the most exciting shit out there. Fighting is everything for me, no matter is i fight myself or watch other people go at it.

Its impossible for me to understand how some1 can not get crazy at it.

[isaacdandn]

ufc will never reach nba mlb or nfl

[dietermauer]

It allready did...

[hardcore1234]

when does he talk about dmt

[DionMurderfuck]

Joe, straight up, YOU.ARE.THE.MAN, hands down

[SurgeCess]

Joe's a great guy, but you can tell he's on opium here.

[icedog4]

Joe, I have been a fan of your comedy, but respect your mma knowledge just as much. respect brotha

[throkproducer]

Joe Canadians luv you feel good about that fact

[pAbedaNSK]

joes the man,

rofl out of bounds stfu

my exact thoughts

[kg062007]

this dude on speed or crack or whatever

[pAbedaNSK]

skateboarding and MMA

2 best sports

[WesSideCali]

"it always makes sense when someone punches someone in the face"

hilarious!!!

[RudyfulDeBeautiful]

rofl chimp dna =] Rogan is funny as hell as a stand up comedian and a color commentator. He also grapples which is beneficial to people who are new to the sport and watching it because he explains everything going on, on the ground. He shouts Kimura, armbar, triangle, sweep, and really helps people who dont know what the hell is going on when they grapple. i've been wrestling for 9 years woo! =] love that shit.

[tomwalker389]

Rogan has a cumdrop on his beard.

[sontrmff]

Fuck Joe, I just like your style..

[mattjindrak]

I think fighting is so stupid but my bro was watching a UFC PPV last night and I happened by and just sank into a chair. Yay primal urges!

[Marcus4600]

I think fucking your mom is so stupid but your bro was watching me hit it from behind, and he screamed "YAY PRIMAL URGES!"

[mattjindrak]

Dude I know I was there. It was so hot watching your ass go in and out. I must have blown like 6 loads in 5 seconds.

[maddingo12]

lol Yeah, I remember the old UFC. They had guys like "Polar Bear" and Tank Abbott. There was a lot of shit in there. But they had some gems like Dan Severn, Don Frye and Shamrock. Those guys (if they were young and in their prime) could probably kick a lot of ass in today's UFC.

[jtmsl]

i dont think tank would be good in his prime he had no ground game

[giantrobot4]

he looks like randy savage.

[gogognick]

thats what i said. how can you not like fighting? or atleast watching it. im 13 and ufc is awesome im training in BJJ currently and i just started muay thai. Hopefully in ten year ill be descent enough to get into a professional mma company.

[32KOAST]

joe, you got some shit on your chin there bud. lol

[SuperLberry]

joe rogan is a legend ne1 agree??

[MaxAC40]

"Out of bounds?

Shut the fuck up"

[Mexicano212]

Who remembers their high school days when there would be a big fight in the cafeteria and everybody would crowd around the fight in a big circle. That is exactly what mma is its just way more organized. Who doesn't get their adrenaline going after they've seen a fight. C'mon its in our dna.

[KingDobe]

I fucken love Joe Rogan, this dude will just talk & talk & talk..He's a funny dude.

[caelitus1]

Lyoto, Anderson, Wanderlay, and Hendo are my faves

[hamsuplos]

but with mma, anything can happen at anytime and theres tons of major upsets, anyone can beat anyone at anytime, if you watch mma, you would know that, thats what makes it so exciting, you cant blink when you watch a fight, and because you know match up are fair, like they wont put gsp agaisnt a total newb, you can always count on the fight to be a close match up and a good possiblity of a nice surprise, thats why i only watch mma, GSP GSP GSP! and still some ball

[hamsuplos]

YOU WANNA KNOW A GOOD REASON TO WATCH MMA? because almost every major sport like hockey, bball, football, there are exciting match ups but when youre keeping constant score, "sometime or a lot of the time" the outcome of the match is OBVIOUS, ex - nba, with 3 min left the score maybe 120 - 87 or hockey 3rd prd 1 min left, 5-1, you dont even have to watch cause its not exciting till the last second anymore, you know its over BUT with MMA .........(including boxing but less so i think)

[giiwed]

are you against boxing and hockey?if u are then ur hopeless and an close minded fuck cuz pple get knocked out in hockey sometimes in fights but usually in hits.....and boxing is just as everything as ufc(exept good)

[giiwed]

why do you even compare two things like that...if you actually did some research and not just make an uninformed opinion you would realize........first of all in ancient rome the gladiator show was a form of entertainment.....but only becuase the people who were dieing(the gladiators) were criminals sentenced to death by the ruling power...secondly ufc fighters are not savages.....they grow up perfecting arts like jui-jitsu, wrestling, judo, mua tai

[jonnygd]

yeah, cause that's the same

[bm10462]

my god baseball sucks so badly

[danielc1464]

Joe's comment about MMA being the oldest sport of all time and the root of all sports is very true, think about the gladiators of Rome? even the greeks cherrished sparring and grekco roman wrestling and their bouts ended with broken bones and chokes

[RealKabuto]

Football and baseball isn't popular outside USA, same as cricket isn't popular outside England or countries influenced at one time by England, and that says it all, hyped up shitty sports.

[leecm]

Joe definitely smoked some weed before this interview. But that goes without saying.

[fenomenophenom]

Joe is right, Baseball and Football compare to MMA are very gay

[johnobama]

This terrorist really speaks good english. Someone forward this to the CIA, theres a terrorist mole in the UFC...

[dav11677]

will you please DIE!!!!!!!!!

[johnobama]

yawn

[realityhurts1313]

MMA = MAN ON MAN ACTION. Most popular PPV buy in San Francisco. Nuff said.

[jehushaphat]

this guy knows his mma...i'll give him that! he knows the fighters and their styles a lot better than dana white.

[RabDaBruce]

man, i bet he talks in his sleep

[ROACHVILLECANADA]

hahahahha, yup... but i love the guy.... he loves mma... dude rocks

[mrmainsauce1]

the guy knows his mma and i respect him for it...i second everything he sais

[Enraged5150Juiced]

The thing I want to know is why is Tito still complaining about dana and the ufc.

Rogan is right FORGET  YOUR FOOTBALL BASEBALL MMA is the best sport Rogan has made a good contribution to the sport. A complete novic could understand BJJ when Rogan explains it Rogan should teach colledge LOL

[Trigunflame]

He's complaining about OOB etc.. what about the fact you can't do any of the following....

Headbutting, Eye Gouging,Small Joint Manipulation, Strikes to the spine or back of the head, Downward Elbows, Throat Strikes, Flesh Twisting, Clavicle Grabbing, Grounded Kicking, Grounded Stomping, Kidney Kicking with the Heel, etc..

Should allow anything goes imo.

[Rekuiemu]

You think the rules should be "Anything goes"?

Then the sport would die. It wouldn't be a "sport" anyone for one.

Two, it would get branded even more badly as "brutal, barbaric, human cock-fighting" etc.

And then no reputable big sponsor is gonna wanna associate their brand with it.

Not only that, but then its dangerous and more injuries/deaths and you'd end up only seeing maybe 1 fight a year from each major fighter. Not to mention lose a huge fanbase.

[Trigunflame]

I'm well aware of the reasons "why" some stuff is not allowed. That doesn't change the fact I still believe most of it should be - at least allow some of the strikes pride had.

As for the length between fights, that would be perfectly fine with me. Promotions like the UFC are already putting out watered down events from trying to hold so many PPVs consecutively.

[Rekuiemu]

Yeah I know the UFC often puts out lack-luster cards. But it's kinda boring watching a fighter only fight once a year, expecially if they can finish the fight in under a minute. Gotta wait til next year to see them again? I'd rather see 2-3 fights a year with the current rules then 1 fight a year without them. But what I said was just an example and everyone's opinion is different, so no matter.

[GFYTV1]

the sport of mma and fighting was put together before the ufc, but i agree with pretty much everything else joe said.

[wastintimelikitsfree]

lmao yep

[amersurfcrwn]

his communication skills are an artform

[treokimow]

3:15 ROFL "thats your chimpanzee DNA OOO"

[M1GU3L07]

Yea, Im a fan of UFC and fighting, and I do agree its more entertaining than any other sport ever, but the world doesn't see it that way, (sigh) well whatever

[sgiblin85]

Fuck yeah, Louisiana.

[ilja20]

I like joe rogan but it likes he like the coca to much..

[Maloperverso]

Joe Rogan is cool. I wonder how much pussy he gets?

[roycegracie11]

i bet he'd let you give him a suck dick if you asked

[Maloperverso]

How clever of you, fag.

[roycegracie11]

whatever man... i'm not the dude with a crush on joe rogan. it's ok if you suck dick all the time. it's just a personal choice. as long as the dick your sucking is ok with it, it's ok with me.

[Desolation007]

royce, you need to chill man, I've seen you start fights on videos all over youtube, clearly we both watch a lot of UFC interviews, but why are you always raggin on peoples comments?

[roycegracie11]

[smit919ballersclick]

LMAO

[johneblaze82]

Yeah MMA has been around since the ancient Roman and Greek days. I use to dream aboout MMA when I was a kid before UFC came out. I guess people didn't like the Ideal of it because people use to fight to the death back in the day, or in some under ground fighting arena lol. MMA should have been bigger then any other sport by now. I'm pretty most people love martial arts any ways. Shit why did they make such a big deal out of Bruce Lee? LoL

[kanguesso]

i just don't think mma is ever gonna be bigger than international soccer, the NFL, or the NBA. that's just not gonna happen. mma it's probably gonna be some where close but not bigger. the world cup final between italy and France in 2006 was viewed by 3.5 Billion people. you can take the super bowl viewers, the NBA finals with Jordan's Bulls, the world series, and NASCAR combined and it would not come to what soccer gets in viewership. And you mean to tell me that mma is gonna be bigger? Crazy.

[Joey93N1U5]

Dead on about team-sports. Unless you're a gambler, the appeal of watching them is based almost entirely on the real or imagined connections to "your" team.

MMA doesn't have that, and they don't need it.

[senorpachangaz]

yeah, it's kinda silly to worry about whether the ball went across the line or not, or whether the swimmer from the USA was able to make it to the other end of the pool before the swimmer from France, but there's something to be said for nonviolent competition. MMA is too violent for many. Sure, it's primal, like Rogan says, but that's what turns people off. You'd like to think we've evolved from beating each other into a bloody mess.

[tfrick03]

Please do more of these Joe. I love hearing your opinions

[jdawgzilla117]

Keep speaking the truth brother, keep it up.

[nismophreek]

Good ol Joe. He looks like Castro with that beard and jacket!!!!! LOL

[timabad]

Does he not know about pankration in the Olympics or something?

[jonleflar]

I'm sure he does, but ask your average Joe (not Rogan, lol) if they know what pankration means, and they'll you it sounds like some sort of painful physical disorder or some shit.

Boxing has been popular for more than 100 years, but it only focuses on aspect of fighting, and that's what Joe meant. That modern society neglected and refused to acknowledge MMA as a legitimate sport.

[jsg103]

Another thing, joe must grow hair hella quick like a goddamned gorilla or mongoose or something. It seems like he goes from shaven to full beard every other week. It'd take me like 3 years to grow that kinda beard.
