Ex-UFC lightweight James Vick suffered quite the knockout at Karate Combat 47 in Orlando, FL. The ex-UFC fighter suffered a brutal KO loss to a leaping switch kick from Rafael Alves. MMA enthusiast, longtime practitioner, and veteran podcaster Joe Rogan is always on the lookout for such happenstance. As such, Rogan spoke on the knockout.
Joe Rogan had former UFC champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson on his podcast. ‘Rampage’ is a lifelong practitioner and a legend within Japanese circuits to this day. Replaying Rafael Alves’ athletic head kick KO, Rogan postulated he’d be heavily tested under the new UFC Anti-Doping Policy (UFC ADP) standards. More to it is whether he supports such test pools.
They are going to test him…[laughs] They would test him! …It’s interesting to see an organization that test vs don’t test…I have two thoughts I like to see older athletes compete… make sure it’s only administered by doctor and make sure they’re not above a certain level, I don’t have any problem. But when you got like [what] Vitor did: ‘Tszzz, Fill em up, doc’…[laughs]

With Alex Pereira rising in stock, much has been made of a Wrestler vs. Kickboxer match. Fielding the consensus topic, ‘Rampage’ shared how he went in on short notice against Marvin Eastman at KOTC: Gladiators. The former champ thought he’d make quick work of the wrestler, but Eastman outclassed him with kickboxing skills. The duo touted the importance of closing range and deploying power like that.
As a result, it serves well to have prime athleticism, like Rafael Alves. Sometimes, PED-enabled athleticism remains beneficial. Consequently, Rogan isn’t against clinically administering dosages that stay under certain limits. However, Rogan dislikes the self-administering cases, like the notorious Vitor Belfort. All in all, his deep insights are why Rogan is such an all-around veteran.
Trailer: New Joe Rogan ‘Burn the Boats’ live Netflix comedy special incoming in August
Joe Rogan has another comedy special on Netflix – but this time, he’ll do it live. One can always expect Rogan to know all part and parcel about a topic, combat sports or not. He also tries his hand at standup comedic stints. Now, Rogan hosts his first comedy special since 2018 with Burn the Boats, live on August 3 at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, TX. Streaming begins at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
Fan-favorite Joe Rogan coming to the Netflix grind (Source: newsgater.com/X/nypost.com)Anthony Giordano is famous for his detailed work with UFC broadcasts. He has also previously worked with Rogan on his previous comedy specials: 2018’s Strange Times, 2016’s Triggered, 2012’s Live From the Tabernacle, and 2009’s Talking Monkeys in Space. He’ll now direct Burn the Boats. Check out the trailer below:
In addition to his role as a UFC pay-per-view (PPV) vocalizer and commentator for international cards, he will continue to host his podcast. The former Fear Factor host recently opened his own Austin comedy club. All in an effort to revitalize the downtown scene – and outdo cancel culture.
With Netflix already scooping up UFC’s sister conglomerate, WWE, UFC could be a major programming player in 2025. The UFC’s deal with ESPN ends next year. As such, anyone can scoop up the product in a monumental deal. A giant like Joe Rogan’s entry into the Netflix broadcasting grind yet again only bolsters that possibility.
