Joe Rogan’s UFC commentator job comes with one big problem no one thinks about.
The podcaster made his UFC debut on the night the first heavyweight champion was crowned in 1997.
28 years later, Joe Rogan is one of the most famous people on the planet, with a nine-digit net worth.
Still, he does six-to-eight hour shifts commentating on several UFC pay-per-view shows each year.
Joe Rogan reveals worst aspect of UFC job
On the most recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the 57-year-old revealed one major issue that comes with commentating on events that run so long.
“There’s nothing like calling the UFC fights,” Rogan said.
“If it’s on Vegas time, you’re starting the fights start at like 3pm and you’re going all the way through to the pay-per-view. You’re doing six hours plus of commentary and then you’ve got to find times to run to pee.
“Sometimes it’s like I have to tell the the truck, ‘Can I pee?’ And then you gotta [run]. I’m drinking Monster Energy drinks and I’m taking nicotine pouches, I’m f—— fired up and I’m drinking a lot of water too, I’m drinking my hydrogen water and I have to pee so f—— bad.
“There’s nothing worse when you’re trying to form a sense and you have to pee. You can’t think.”
When will Joe Rogan retire from MMA commentary?
A small group of fans jokingly told Rogan to retire after his awful Paddy Pimblett impression at UFC 314.
Days later, Rogan provided a retirement update and explained Dana White clause in his UFC contract
“I just enjoy it. I don’t think about retiring, no,” he told Ilia Topuria.
“If Dana White quits, I might quit, but that’s it. It’s actually in my contract. If he leaves, I leave.
“In my contract if he leaves, I don’t have to stay.
“I wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t for him. He’s my friend. He talked me into doing it.
“I started working for the UFC in 1997 when it was nothing, nobody was watching then.”
