While in primary and high school he played baseball, participating in Little League, but soon realized that martial arts were more interesting for him. Thus he began practicing karate and taekwondo at the age of 14, and soon started competing in some of the most prestigious competitions. Five years later, he won the US Open Championship tournament in the lightweight division, and then became a Massachusetts state champion, keeping this title for four years. Parallel with that, he was practicing kickboxing as an amateur; however, he suffered an injury, and retired from competitions at the age of 21.

Early Comedy Career

Joe Rogan was fascinated by stand-up comedy from when he was only four years old, so his parents took him to watch Richard Pryor’s comedy film “Love On The Sunset Strip”, which motivated and inspired him to start producing his own shows. However, when he was in high school, he never considered a career in the entertainment industry, rather he always thought of himself as a professional martial artist, but his friends and colleagues from the gym convinced him to try and create his own stand-up comedy performance, and following retirement from the martial arts, he took a variety of jobs to support himself, while preparing to do his first stand-up comedy performance.

Joe finally did his first stand-up routine at an open-mic night at Stitches comedy club in Boston in August of 1988. While yearning to make a living this way, he tried to watch as many famous and successful comedians as possible in order to improve himself; his greatest influences were Richard Jeni, Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks. In the following months, he formulated a new routine and performed in Boston, where he was spotted by talent manager Jeff Sussman, and moved to New York City where he became a full-time comedian, but soon had to move to Los Angeles, California because there were more professional opportunities in there in his field.

Rise to Fame

In 1994, Joe Rogan made his debut national television appearance in the MTV comedy show entitled “Half-Hour Comedy Hour”, after which he signed a contract with the Disney network. This provided him his debut acting role, as Frank Valente in the Fox sitcom “Hardball” (1994), which turned out to be a great experience for him and opened a lot of other opportunities for the development of his career. In the following years, he appeared in several popular sitcoms, such as NBC’s “News Radio”, and performed as a regular at several comedy clubs, such as The Comedy Store in Hollywood.

UFC

Joe managed to unite his two great loves – mixed martial arts and television – in 1997, as he started his new job as a backstage and post-fight interviewer for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC); his debut show was at UFC 12: Judgment Day in Dothan, Alabama in February of 1997, and he worked in that position until 2002, when he transferred to the position of color commentator. During this stint, Joe became so successful that he twice won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter award for the Best Television Announcer, and was named four times MMA Personality of the Year by the World MMA Awards.

I find it extremely bizarre that all these @UFC 207 promos only focus on Ronda and very little about the champion @Amanda_Leoa
