Joe Rogan is often a source of insight when it comes to the UFC and MMA as a whole. The promotion's most renowned color commentator has been described as a mixed martial arts historian, with a deep pool of knowledge regarding the sport. He often references obscure facts when engaged in a discussion about MMA.
But the time he has spent as part of the sport has enabled him to not only accrue a significant amount of knowledge on MMA, but also gain information on his contemporaries. This includes non-fighters like Dana White, with whom the comedian is good friends.
