Joe Rogan was once sent flying by a former UFC heavyweight champion, after a play fight turned violent.
The popular commentator struggled to stay on his feet as he was launched straight into a wall.
Joe Rogan was launched into a wall by Mark Coleman
In addition to being a podcaster and analyst, Joe Rogan is a talented martial artist in his own right, with the American reaching a high level in kickboxing and taekwondo.
However, he was no match for Mark Coleman when the pair went head-to-head back in 2022.
Footage from the incident shows the pair having a light wrestle, when suddenly, Rogan takes the icon’s back.
Coleman managed to get out of the hold and gave his opponent an almighty shove, sending him flying into a wall.

With tensions clearly rising, a voice in the background, shouts: “Hug it out.”
In an interview on the Jaxxon Podcast, the MMA icon gave his version of what happened, explaining: “It was after one of Joe’s [Comedy] shows. [I] Gave him [a] little hug, but then when we hugged, it turned into a little wrestling thing. And then [he] takes my back.
“Everybody thinks Joe let out, cause he had my back. But his face was in my lower back; he didn’t have my back; he had my middle lower back, but I just turned to face him.
“I was clearing some space; he was off balance. So, I chuck him into the wall; thank God he wasn’t hurt, man.”
“I feel bad. Oh yeah, I feel horrible. But he can take it, you know. He was cool with it. He just couldn’t believe how strong I was.”
Joe Rogan was almost robbed by a group of street thugs
It turns out grappling with Coleman isn’t the only dangerous situation Rogan has found himself in.
On one occasion, the comedian was walking to teach a class when he was approached by a gang.
When the New Jersey native refused to give them any money, the thugs turned aggressive, threatening to take it from him.
With the situation becoming sinister, Rogan had to think fast. What happened next will amaze you.
