Did you know that Joe Rogan, the popular podcast host, played a big role in making the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) a multi-billion dollar business? UFC boss Dana White recently praised Rogan for his commentary skills. Back when the UFC was new, people didn't understand the rules and strategies of the sport. That's where Rogan stepped in. He explained what was happening during fights, especially on the ground, where viewers couldn't see everything. This helped millions of people understand and enjoy the sport.

Rogan wasn't always a commentator, though. He started as a backstage interviewer and wasn't even interested in commentary at first. But Dana White convinced him, and Rogan's passion for the sport made him a great commentator. He didn't get paid for his first 13 events but loved the job so much. Now, Rogan is worth $200 million and is considered one of the best combat sports commentators ever.

The UFC faced many challenges when it started. People called it "human cockfighting" and didn't understand the rules. But with Rogan's help, the UFC became a popular and well-understood sport. Today, it's almost synonymous with mixed martial arts (MMA).
