UFC co-founder on why Joe Rogan was hired

I think Rogan's excitement adds a lot to the show, always liked him. shame he seems to have one foot out the door.

maybe he could call a local show in Texas.

There was a point in joes career where his mma commentating was probably his primary source of income and was a large contributor to his stand up success.

Now with his podcast, standup, Onnit and whatever else he has going on, it’s not nearly as significant.

He sold his podcast for 100M.

At this point I can’t imagine his UFC check being a motivator.

He does it b/c he’s the real deal and loves getting the best seat in the house.

It's like Joey from Freinds turning into Matt Serra.

As much as people love to shit on him for 'selling out', his attitude at the level of celebrity is refreshing.

Plus lets not ignore the fact that young rogan was a damn handsome man.

Making $100,000,000 adds a lot to a man's looks too :-)

You gold digging homo 

Rogan will forever be a legend in the sport. Props to him and the ufc for hiring him.
