10 Things We Learned From Elon Musk On Joe Rogan Experience
8. Musk Is An OG UFC Fan
In a moment that made Joe's eyes light up, Musk explained that not only had he previously done several traditional martial arts as a kid, but he also used to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a martial art that Joe holds two black belts in.
As Musk explained that he works out for health reasons but doesn't actually enjoy physical exercise, any longtime JRE viewer could see Rogan practically itching to recommend BJJ as a fun way of staying in shape.
The Tesla CEO seemingly made Joe's day when he explained how he had been a fan of mixed martial arts during the early days of the sport, where BJJ stylist Royce Gracie would overcome seemingly insurmountable odds by using his grappling skills to prevail in no-rules fights against larger opponents.
Given his position in the UFC, it's not surprising that many of Joe's guests enjoy watching combat sports, but few could've imagined that Elon Musk was an OG MMA fan.
