Imagine how easy it would have been for him to get a fight in the UFC if he really wanted to show what he could do, would have drawn big numbers too, and yet all those years he never did.
There were rumors on Sherdog years ago that he was going to fight Phil Baroni in the UFC. This was like 2007 or 2008, so shortly after Baroni had just knocked out Yuki Kondo, Ryo Chonan and Ikuhisa Minowa in Pride.

Like half the forum thought Rogan would win. It was hilarious.
 
Pro? Like who? Also again, he's had literal decades to spar a multitude of MMA guys -he grapples multiple times a week. Pretty common for even grapplers in fight gyms to spar some other guys once in a while and he has access to all of them. He chooses not to. Telling.

Hes mentioned names before. I cant recall them. Strong golden gloves. Regional. Not famous names broadly
 
It's possible this happened. I have nothing else to add. The emotional feelings equating to people not believing him is weird though, Joe Rogan kicks like a horse and him landing clean on someone could hurt someone pretty bad, it hard to imagine if you are not emotionally attached to just not believing anything he says, which isn't objective in the slightest and not tied to reality.
 
Joe probably embellishes but I believe it.

One training partner shot into a knee about a year or two ago. His face was immediately sagging/looked off because he broke his orbital. He didn’t get knocked out or dropped, just broke his cheek.
He also didn’t need surgery
 
A lot of people don't believe it but since this was 80s early 90s when gym wars were common, I'm inclined to believe it


This is inaccurate…Rogan broke the guys shin with a high kick.

Also, Joe was juiced up.
<seedat>
 
Well he was a notorious gym bully, so I probably his story is half true and half false

Just stop. he mentioned em...yeah this is classic , i fought 4 green berets and a Ranger at a bar one night -forget the name of the bar...You KNOCK OUT pro boxers multiple times you dont forget it. The truth is he knocked out another stringbean TKD with a wheel kick at a TMA Tourney and that was it. Stop promoting falsehoods and exaggerations.

They don't believe this could happen sparring. But I have experienced the same thing. Guys who want to fight for real as if their life depended on it
 
How much force is enough to break a bone?

Approximately 4000 N
Answer and Explanation: Approximately 4000 N of force is needed to break a human bone, but this value may differ depending of the bone, person diet, age of the person and so on.

4000 newton = 407 kilogram-force

Don't forget that Viktor Belforts shin kick to Bispings eye
 
Why do unconfirmable stories always make the teller out to be a macho hero? Do people that tell these stories actually think anyone believes them?

Probably because he has been up front for years that he is not a MMA fighter, that pro fighters have a different mentality, and that you need to be 100% in or else you are going to get wrecked by someone who is (which apparently was a big factor in why he stopped competing in striking competitions as he became involved in other endeavours).

Rogan is worthy of much criticism for a lot of things, but AFAIK he has never put himself on par with UFC-level fighters and he is even rather humble and realistic about his relative abilities in BJJ.

He was a beast at BJJ and his TKD uppbringing helped him
