Joe Rogan's history in mixed martial arts

Although his history in martial arts isn't widely documented, Joe Rogan did have a 2-1 record as an amateur kickboxer and was a four-time taekwondo state champion dating back to his 20s.

He grew fond of the sport and began training in multiple disciplines, dedicating his early life to martial arts. As the years went by, he took a liking to Brazilian jiu-jitsu and eventually became highly experienced in the form of combat.

Over 40 years of training in different aspects of the sport has helped Rogan gain black belts in taekwondo and karate, and earned him two black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Eddie Bravo and Jean Jacques Machado.

While he hasn't and is likely never going to compete in MMA, the stand-up comedian could potentially have been a great addition to whichever division he joined in the UFC during his prime.
