Joe Rogan has revealed how he handled a dangerous situation, where a gang threatened to steal his money.
The beloved UFC commentator implemented a very interesting tactic to scare the potential robbers away.
A group of thugs wanted to steal from Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan is famed around the world for his innate ability to make mixed martial arts an even more exciting sport than it already is.
With an iconic voice, the American has given fans memories that will last a lifetime, with his legendary calls intertwined with the UFC’s greatest moments.
However, while he’s an excellent talker, Rogan is also a fantastic practitioner of martial arts in his own right.
With a high-level background in kickboxing and taekwondo, the podcaster knows a thing or two about how to defend himself.

And those skills came in handy when a gang threatened to rob him.
On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: “I was walking down the street, and I saw these kids and they were street kids. One said, ‘Hey man, could I borrow some money’. I was like, ‘I don’t have any money’.
“He goes, ‘Come on, man; I know you have some f***ing money’. I go, ‘No, I don’t have any money’. He goes, ‘Man, I’ll just take your money’. I said, ‘Ok’.
“I kept on walking, he goes, ‘Where the f**k are you going’? I got to the door of the taekwondo academy where I was teaching.
“I go, ‘I’m going up here to teach a class. Do you want to come up’? We were looking at each other, and he’s like, ‘You’re teaching a class’? I go, ‘Yes’. That’s when he understood why I was so confident.
“I was trying to figure out, ‘Do I kick this guy’s head off of his shoulders’? By that time, I’d knocked a bunch of people out, I knew how to do it.”
Joe Rogan reveals the only UFC fighter that ‘really freaked’ him out
While Rogan held his nerve in the face of danger, there is one man on the planet he’d be less confident with if things went sideways.
The analyst has sat cageside and watched some of the most intimidating fighters the sport of mixed martial arts has to offer, render their opponents unconscious with brutal shots.
But of all the gifted operators he’s seen perform in the flesh, there’s just one that ‘really freaked’ him out.
