Joe Rogan gets emotional about Eddie Bravo’s incredible submission against Royler Gracie 

Joe Rogan recently got teary eyed when he harked back to the time he witnessed his close friend Eddie Bravo win a submission grappling match against Royler Gracie at the ADCC World Championships in Brazil in 2003.

Rogan hosts one of the world's most popular podcasts, The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). Bravo's name is familiar to most who tune-in regularly. The 52-year-old is a third-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and is the founder of 10th Planet jiu-jitsu, where Rogan earned his own black belt in 2012.

Unsurprisingly, Eddie Bravo is a regular guest on the JRE show and his close friendship with the famous podcaster is evident during their conversations, which range from MMA to conspiracy theories.

In the latest episode of the podcast with Brian Simpson (#1915), Joe Rogan got emotional as he recalled witnessing Bravo's incredible submission win against ADCC Hall of Famer Royler Gracie:

"Eddie has crazy leg dexterity... If you're in his guard, you're f****d. [Gracie] was in Eddie's guard and Eddie just slapped that triangle on him and started pulling the head and Royler tapped. It was insane. I was crying. I'll cry right now... One of the greatest experiences of my life. I get emotional right now talking about it."

When Joe Rogan emotionally accepted his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt from Eddie Bravo in 2012

Joe Rogan became a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu while training under Eddie Bravo at the 10th Planet jiu-jitsu gym in 2012. He gave an emotional speech as he accepted it.

While Rogan's knowledge of MMA and jiu-jitsu is well established, not many know that the UFC color commentator has two black belts himself. His second jiu-jitsu black belt was given to him soon after his first by legendary martial arts instructor Jean Jacques Machado.

Back in 2012, as the famous podcaster was awarded his first black belt by his close friend Eddie Bravo, Joe Rogan had an emotional moment as he claimed it was one of the greatest achievements of his life:

"Seriously, this is one of the proudest moments of my life. Out of all the things I've done, to become really good at jiu-jitsu is probably one of the most difficult things a person can do and I think it helps me with everything I do."
