Why does joe rogan host ufc

A great champion and a greater man. I really enjoyed talking to him on the podcast! As Rogan explained on his podcast, after White bought the organization, the UFC started putting on small shows in Vegas. It needed to rebrand itself. One way the UFC did this involved paying famous people , like Rogan, to attend the events so audiences at home would see them.

So he got to attend the events for free with his friends. White realized how knowledgeable Rogan was, so he asked him to be a commentator. So, instead of paying Rogan money, the UFC allowed him and his friends to attend the events for free. This started at UFC For all intents and purposes, it worked. Joe is deep in his fifties, doing tons of work. Especially during the pandemic, he was only one of few people who had the chance to witness some all-time great fights live, such as Stipe Miocic vs.

I like experience new things, I think it opens new doors, your mind starts firing a new way. I'm not a big fan of doing the same shit over and over and over again. I've been doing the UFC for a long time.

I will never stop being a UFC fan though, that's not going to happen. I love the sport, but there's probably going to be a time where I don't do commentary anymore, and it might be sooner than later. However, Rogan did give a glimmer of hope. He confessed that he may change his mind come August and decide that he wants to renew his contract.
