“One guy who deserves a lot of credit for helping build this sport is Joe Rogan. The reality is, when we got into this, everyone understood fighting on their feet no matter what. Punches, kicks, elbows – we all understand that. The big thing for us was when he goes to the ground. How are people going to really understand what is happening and what they are seeing? Because if you've never practiced jiu-jitsu, you don't know what they're doing,” White said while participating in the program.The Fight with Teddy Atlas'.
According to the agent, Rogan conveyed conviction and understanding of MMA as he was already passionate about the sport before even commenting on it.
“Joe Rogan was, first and foremost, passionate about the sport, number one. Number two, so good at walking you through what was happening before it even started happening. Having a guy like him behind the microphone was very useful in helping to build the sport”, he concluded.
Rogan is, to this day, one of the most recognized figures in the world of mixed martial arts and, in addition to his comments, he is also successful for his podcast 'The Joe Rogan Experience', which is also one of the great references of the format.
