Joe Rogan Experience: 10 Early Gem Podcasts You Might Have Missed
3. Bas Rutten #83
Bas Rutten is one of the coolest men ever to participate in combat sports. The Dutch fighter began competing as a kickboxer, before becoming one of the most feared mixed martial artists in the early days of the sport, while also earning a reputation for having a pretty wild life away from the ring.
This combined with Rutten's talents as a storyteller, make him a great guest, entertaining Joe and Redban with tales from his fighting career both in and out of competition. Unsurprisingly the former UFC Heavyweight Champion's wealth of stories and high-level analysis of combat sports has led him to appear several times on both the JRE and the MMA Show over the years.
Rutten has also taken his considerable charisma into the world of film, branching out onto the silver screen since hanging up his 4oz gloves, having a prominent role in the 2012 Kevin James movie Here Comes the Boom.
