Dana White revealed how he hired Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan made his first UFC broadcast appearance at UFC 12 in 1997. However, his first commentary appearance came at UFC 37.5 in 2002. Dana White has revealed Rogan was doing Fear Factor at that point.
Rogan also used to hype up UFC fighters and dissect the sport. White was impressed with Rogan’s knowledge and decided to hire him. He said on the Games with Names show: “I was like, "Man this guy knows what he's talking about. He's smart, he's funny and he's articulate.’
White further added: “So I reached out to Rogan... We started talking and I asked him if he's like to work for us as a commentator... Joe Rogan did the first 12 or 13 shows for free."
Joe Rogan is still an integral part of the UFC broadcast team and his relationship with Dana White remains as amicable as ever.
