    Joe Rogan is a fucking idiot who has done irreparable harm to millions of young men in this country, but… his MMA and BJJ credentials are legit. He would destroy Segall.

    I used to be a big MMA fan back in the day (way before Rogan’s shift right), and it was incredibly impressive how good he was at calling the fights. Specifically on the ground, he would often correctly predict the submission a fighter was going for like sometimes 30s before they did it. He could just tell by the positioning.

    Sucks that he’s a fucking fascist now.

      Pretty sure he stopped competing in any kind of martial arts long ago, and that was only ever Tae Kwon do. I’m sure he trains hard but seagull was a legitimate practitioner too and over a foot taller. Neither one would do much competing in the wild against anybody who wasn’t paid to lose to them now. Joe does love sharing that video of him kicking a bag hard though.

        Watch some of the stuff Segall has done in the past decade. He gets winded standing up. Or rather don’t -he’s basically Rogan in 10-20 years, physically and mentally.

          Yes he has trained lots. And lots. And lots. And long ago discovered he doesn’t like to get hit. And that his biggest fear is losing so he does everything in his power to avoid any situation where he’s not in a safe space.
