Joe Rogan also attended UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Yadong and Canelo vs. GGG 3 last weekend

Joe Rogan is a massive fan of grappling martial arts and combat sports as a whole. It's no surprise that the UFC color commentator also made it to UFC Apex to catch the main event between Cory Sandhagen and Song Yadong. The fight was a thrilling battle that resulted in a doctor’s stoppage after ringside doctors prevented Yadong from entering the final frame of their five-round main event.

Joe Rogan wasn't on announcing duties for the UFC Vegas 60 event, so he was able to enjoy the headliner bout without having to put on the headset. Here's what Rogan wrote after watching the event live:

"Verified Just watched an epic main event live at the apex center with @corysandhagenmma vs @yadongsong"

UFC Vegas 60 wasn't the last stop for Joe Rogan. The podcast host made sure he made the most of his weekend as he also attended the trilogy boxing showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin, which went down at the T-Mobile Arena.

Rogan wrote:

"Verified Ringside for @canelo and @gggboxing! We pulled off the combat sports trifecta tonight in Vegas! @adcc_official @ufc and @daznboxing!"

The fight saw Canelo Alvarez pull off a unanimous decision win (116-112, 115-113 and 115-113) over his long-time rival.
