Rogan runs his podcast called ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ on YouTube. He talks about experiences, political science, and several other things with many big names.
Recently in a podcast with Carole Hooven, a Harvard graduate, and author of the book Testosterone: The story of the Hormone that dominates and divides us, Rogan talked about his favorite women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas.
While applauding Namajunas’s performance Rogan said, “I was talking to her after she won the title it’s the amazing thing she knocked out this girl Zhang Weili who’s this monster she’s terrifying she’s a physical specimen and she knocked her out with a leg kick in the first round.”
“It was crazy but before the fight, she was like almost in a trance. And she was standing there while they were getting ready and she’s going, ‘I’m the best I’m the best’. She was standing there like this is after she won the title. But give it a volume, this girl just got knocked out but back it up, back it up. That’s Pat Barry, that’s her boyfriend and her trainer and he’s like who’s the best? She’s like I’m the best, so they give her the title. And then I talk to her about it and when I’m talking to her, she’s emotional she’s crying, and I cried I totally cried this the first time I ever cried during an interview first time.”
