20 Incredible Joe Rogan Experience Episodes Every Fight Fan Must Watch

10. JRE MMA Show 42 - Teddy Atlas

As fans of boxing, we rightly put a lot of focus on the the fighters and what they're doing inside of the ring. However, one of the key parts about the sport is the various incredible and enthusiastic characters who help make it what it is. One of those characters is former boxing trainer and HBO fight commentator, Teddy Atlas.

While the 63-year old might be more famous for his epic rants about the sport, Atlas was far less worked up when he appeared on the podcast. As a boxer-turned-coach under famous trainer, Cus D'Amato, Atlas was a witness to the early days of a young, up-and-coming boxer called Mike Tyson. Honestly, some of the stories he shares about the future heavyweight champion are simply terrifying.

Atlas has seen it all when it comes to pugilism and his knowledge of the sport is evident throughout the podcast, as he shares little pieces of boxing history that will blow any fight fans mind.
