Theo Von lauded Joe Rogan's method of linking the standup comedy and UFC community
Theo Von is a friend of the UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan. Their friendship originates from their association with standup comedy and has led to Rogan inviting Von as the guest on his podcast multiple times.
Von has witnessed firsthand how the 57-year-old contributed to the amalgamation of UFC and standup comedy fans. He said:
"Rogan has done so much for the community of comedians and UFC people. We get to go around those guys [UFC fighters] sometimes and get to talk to them [for Rogan]. I mean those guys are warriors… It's a fact that he [Rogan] has done a lot of that just by his own, by inviting comics to come and be at the fights, introducing comedians and people to the UFC by letting us be around that world."
