There's no direction given, you just go up there and whack it out. It's as pure of a representation of your thoughts as you can do and still have people enjoy it."

UFC co-founder Campbell McLaren recently shared a story of how Joe Rogan came to be part of the UFC.

Speaking on an episode of MMA on Sirius XM, McLaren explained the decision to hire Rogan, who has long been considered as the voice of the UFC.

"Joe came in on UFC 11. Even by 11, we still didn't have a grip on things. It was so unpredictable. We would run out of fighters. We were still doing the tournaments, and guys would get hurt, and you couldn't predict anything. We had no idea what was going to happen," McLaren shared.

Rogan, who now serves as the lead play-by-play commentator for the biggest mixed martial arts promotion in the world, began his career in the UFC as a backstage interviewer.

Before that however, Rogan was making a name for himself as a comedian, which McLaren saw as a possible advantage.

"I had a background in comedy, and I knew a comedian that could handle hecklers would be very ready for the UFC because they could handle it," McLaren explained. "I could go 'Joe, we're running late, you've got to talk to them for five more minutes, tell this guy to shut up.'"

Prior to his background in comedy, Rogan was also actually a martial artist, with a background in karate, taekwondo, and kickboxing.

McLaren believed that Rogan had the perfect combination of wit, attitude, and talent for his role then in the UFC.

"Joe, I believe he'd had a couple of professional kickboxing bouts, he had that Boston tough guy thing. He has was quick on his feet, he had a good sense of humor, and boy, did he drink the Kool-Aid. He came in, and he was very good at making it look like what was happening was not a disaster about to really spin out of control,"

"It was his ability to handle hecklers as much as anything, and thinking on your feet, going with the flow, because you couldn't map out what was going to happen back then. It was really tough back then, and he was such a great addition. I think Joe's one of the best announcers in sports. He's certainly the best podcaster," McLaren concluded."

Joe Rogan's Journey from Backstage Interviewer to Podcast Royalty

Joe Rogan has come a very long way from his humble beginnings as a backstage interviewer at UFC 11.

Rogan would leave the company two years later, only to come back when Dana White - who was the new president of the UFC back then - hired Rogan in exchange for front row tickets.

Rogan would eventually come in as the official commentator and has been the UFC's main color commentator since.

Rogan's stint with the UFC would lead to other big-time projects as the host of the widely-popular tv series Fear Factor.

Now, Rogan is one of the most popular podcasters there is today, with his show The Joe Rogan Experience featuring a wide variety of guests, from fighters, to musicians, to politicians, scientists, and celebrities of all sorts.

Joe Rogan is one of the most recognizable names, faces, and voices in the UFC. He's been one of the UFC's earliest fans and he's also been doing his job as a UFC commentator for a very long time. That said, he's never fought in the UFC. However, he still trains like he will.

Joe Rogan's striking credentials

As Men's Journal reports, Rogan is actually an accomplished striker. As a teen, he trained in martial arts like taekwondo and karate. Both of those styles teach students how to strike. As a result, Rogan gained insight into striking techniques. However, he wasn't just a student; he was also a champion.

According to Rolling Stone, Rogan was a taekwondo state champion four years in a row in Massachusetts, his home state. This was notably in full-contact taekwondo, which means Rogan and his opponents were hitting each other for real. Later on, he became a taekwondo instructor. However, he soon felt the call for fighting.

Rogan actually competed in amateur kickboxing matches, reports Rolling Stone. However, after amassing a record of 2-1 in amateur fights, he retired due to his fear of experiencing a traumatic brain injury. Rogan didn't stop training, however. He took up Muay Thai, another martial art based on striking, later in life.

After falling in love with the UFC, Rogan got exposed to Brazilian jiu-jitsu, or BJJ, a martial art that dominated early UFC events. As a result, Rogan took up the sport himself. After years of studying BJJ, he became a black belt.

In fact, he's a black belt in two styles of BJJ: no-gi BJJ and BJJ with a gi. The gi is the uniform some BJJ fighters wear. These two styles are quite different from one another.

Asides from training in BJJ and the martial arts of his childhood, Rogan still does traditional exercises, reports Men's Journal. He does a lot of strength training, and he brags that at 44 years old, he could still bench 315 pounds. That said, Rogan is currently in his 50s, so his capabilities may have diminished since Men's Journal spoke with him.

Why Joe Rogan doesn't fight in the UFC

As Rolling Stone hinted, Rogan feared getting a brain injury as a young man, and that same fear still exists today. The UFC commentator simply doesn't want to get beat up for a living. He has a successful career in stand-up comedy, hosting TV shows, podcasting, and obviously, commentating, so a fighting career never made sense.

On top of that, he's been commentating for the UFC for over 20 years now, and obviously, this time has done a number on him. He's now simply too old to fight. But even when he was younger, he simply didn't have the desire to compete in the UFC for less money than he'd get from commentating.

Furthermore, Rogan definitely wouldn't pass any drug testing the UFC would do for him. He's openly admitted to using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. (This is legal since he's not fighting anyone in the cage.) The moment he even contemplates fighting, the UFC would definitely bust him for his drug use.

That said, without his years of training and love for the martial arts in the UFC, Rogan wouldn't be as good of a commentator as he is today. He knows what the fighters are doing and as a result, the audience will too.
