But a terrifying moment in the ring made him walk away from competition for good. Rogan started training in karate and taekwondo at 14. By 19, he had won the U.S. Open Taekwondo Championship and was seen as a rising star. However, an experience during a tournament changed everything. Speaking on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan recalled what happened. “I was very enthusiastic about fighting until I was 19,” he said. “It was a time I never recovered from.” Photo: Joe Rogan / Instagram   At a national championship in Anaheim, California, Rogan faced a competitor from Illinois. During the fight, Rogan landed a devastating spinning kick to his opponent’s head. “It’s a move with insane power,” Rogan explained. “I hit him perfectly.

The incident happened in 2022 after one of Rogan’s comedy shows. Rogan, a skilled martial artist with a background in kickboxing and taekwondo, decided to engage in some friendly wrestling with Coleman, a former UFC heavyweight champion. Things quickly escalated when Rogan tried to take Coleman’s back. In a clip of the moment, Coleman escapes the hold and gives Rogan a powerful shove, sending him crashing into a wall.

The fight, which aired on November 15 and was watched by 60 million people on Netflix, saw Paul claim victory over the 58-year-old boxing legend in an eight-round decision. Despite Tyson's loss, Rogan was relieved the former heavyweight champion made it through the fight unharmed. Rogan, a long-time admirer of Tyson, admitted he feared the age and physical differences between the two fighters could result in serious injury for the boxing icon. Speaking to actor Josh Brolin on The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan said, “I’m happy that Mike got the money and that he didn’t get hurt. That was my fear—that it was a real fight and he’s going to get hurt.” Photo: Joe Rogan / Instagram   Tyson, who looked far from his prime in the ring, managed to complete the match without being knocked out. Paul later admitted he “...

Cuban, who owns Cost Plus Drugs, responded to Rogan's tweet referring to the medical industry as "heartless monsters" by pointing out the life-saving contributions of the industry. He expressed his disappointment in Rogan for disregarding the positive impact of the medical field and undermining the efforts of doctors, researchers, and medical professionals dedicated to saving lives. Photo: Instagram/Mark Cuban The disagreement between Cuban and Rogan originated from Rogan's podcast featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his anti-vaccination views. This interview prompted vaccine researcher Peter Hotez to denounce it as misinformation. Rogan then challenged Hotez to a debate on his podcast with no time limit and offered to donate $100,000 to a charity of Hotez's choice. Rogan ...

Rogan believed Fury was a legitimate boxer, while Portnoy continued to dismiss the Brit's talent. Portnoy claimed that Jake Paul could "kill" Tommy Fury, which angered Rogan. Photo: Instagram/Joe Rogan  Rogan showed boxing footage of Fury to prove his point, but Portnoy continued to ramble on without watching it, prompting Rogan to repeatedly urge him to "shut the f**k up" and watch the video. Joe Rogan also recently criticized the judges in Paddy Pimblett's UFC 282 win, which was underwhelming due to neither fighter claiming the then-vacant light heavyweight title in a draw. Pimblett won the co-main event with a contentious unanimous decision over Jared Gordon, despite being knocked down and twice struck by Gordon's left hooks in the first round. Rogan referr...
