But while the American loves the excitement the sport provides, he also thoroughly enjoys the science behind the fighting.
Rogan has an enormous amount of respect for the intellect that comes alongside coaching the best in the business, with the 57-year-old claiming that one man does it better than anyone else.
On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: “There’s some really elite trainers out there, and I don’t want to miss anybody, but Firas Zahabi is probably my favorite.
“He’s very intelligent and very analytical. He does a fantastic job of breaking down fights, both before and after the fight, and telling you what tactics didn’t work, and why they didn’t work, and what went wrong in the fight and what was effective.
“He’s just a brilliant human being and very intelligent about the way he makes his fighters prepare. He trained Georges St-Pierre, who’s one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all time.
“So, there’s him, and Greg Jackson, and Michael Winkeljohn from Jackson Wink in New Mexico, that’s where Jon Jones came from. Multiple world champions have come from that gym.
“John Crouch in Arizona, he’s phenomenal. There’s just so many top of the food chain guys.”
