Sean O'Malley has The Joe Rogan Experience as his top podcast for 2022.
On his Instagram stories, O'Malley shared his Spotify Wrapped for this year – a feature from the app that shows its users' most listened-to songs and podcasts.
Unsurprisingly, O'Malley has UFC color commentator Rogan's Spotify-exclusive show as his top podcast. Rogan's JRE podcast was the most-streamed worldwide on Spotify for the third year in a row, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.

Rogan, 55, has hosted the show exclusively on Spotify since he struck a deal with the streaming giant in 2020. The partnership, which was reported to be worth more than $100 million, was one of the most lucrative podcast licensing deals in history.
Number two on O'Malley's list is the FULL SEND PODCAST. That's no surprise to many given the UFC star's close relationship with the hosts, The NELK Boys. Finally, Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE and comedian Andrew Schulz's Flagrant podcasts make the top five.
Sean O'Malley and Joe Rogan break down Alexander Volkanovski vs. Islam Makhachev
Islam Makhachev is set to defend his UFC lightweight crown against pound-for-pound king Alexander Volkanovski early next year.
In a recent edition of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the UFC color commentator and UFC bantamweight superstar Sean O'Malley broke down the much-anticipated superfight:
"That motherf**ker [Volkanovski] is good," O'Malley said. "He's so good. He's so compact that I think it [Makhachev vs. Volkanovski] is going to be an interesting fight."
Both men were in agreement that Volkanovski is significantly smaller compared to the reigning 155-pound champ. That said, though, O'Malley believes that the Australian's skills could make up for his lack of size.
Meanwhile, Rogan thinks Volkanovski could struggle against the strength and size of Makhachev. However, the podcast host also thinks Volkanovski could be the most skilled fighter Makhachev has ever faced:
"Has Islam seen anybody that can move as fast as Volkanovski? What if he [Volkanovski] starts catching him? What if he catches him a few times on the feet, and if he can avoid a takedown? I mean, you're dealing with a significantly quicker guy, probably. He [Makhachev] has probably never fought anybody that quick."
