10 Most Emotional Joe Rogan Experience Moments
9. Rogan Recounts Ronda Rousey's Big Win
Ronda Rousey's impact of the sport of mixed martial arts is unquestionable.
With her fighting career ending in violently abrupt fashion, it is easy for many to retroactively downplay just how significant Rousey was in the combat sports landscape during the peak of her powers.
When the Olympic Bronze medalist made her second appearance on the JRE in 2015 she was riding a twelve fight unbeaten streak in the professional ranks capped off with a knockout win over Bethe Correira to defend the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship in her opponent's home country of Brazil. Few observers at the time would've predicted that this would mark the final time Rousey would get her hand raised inside the Octagon.
Rogan was clearly a huge admirer of Rousey's prowess in the cage, as demonstrated by how emotional he got recounting his experience of witnessing her landmark victory during episode #690 of the podcast.
Holding back tears, Rogan explained that he was overwhelmed with emotion as he knew that he was witnessing history with Rousey's win.
