When Michael Jai White named the only man to have a better spinning back-kick than Joe Rogan in all of MMA

Several UFC fighters and MMA experts will concur with the notion that Joe Rogan has a powerful spinning back-kick with good technique. Known for his explosive power, Rogan's spinning back-kick has earned praise across the martial arts community, including that of former UFC two-division champion Georges St-Pierre.

However, according to Michael Jai White, there is only one man who surpasses Rogan's mastery of the spinning back-kick. In a past interview with VladTv, the Hollywood star, a prominent black belt in Kyokushin Karate and Goju-Ryu Karate himself, spoke about Rogan's kick, stating:

"He has the No.2 best spinning back-kick I have ever seen. No.1 is Benny Urquidez. He is very good [in MMA]. Joe Rogan and I have a lot in common... It's not getting popular, we just love it. It's one thing that somebody's training because they want popularity or power, but it's another thing if you're training because you love it. We do it for free. This is what we do."

The 56-year-old picked Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez, a legendary martial artist, as his top spinning back-kick expert. Urquidez was known for his exceptional skills and contributions to kickboxing. His career spanned several decades and he held an impressive undefeated record in kickboxing for much of his career.

He was renowned for his dynamic and powerful striking techniques, particularly his spinning back-kick, which was both accurate and impactful. Urquidez's influence is second to none as he also worked as a stunt coordinator and martial arts instructor. He has also inspired countless fighters and actors, including Michael Jai White.
