20 Incredible Joe Rogan Experience Episodes Every Fight Fan Must Watch

7. JRE MMA Show 82 - Israel Adesanya

Considering his extremely exciting style of fighting and his incredible walkouts to the Octagon, it's easy to see why Israel Adesanya is such a fan-favourite for those who watch mixed martial arts. His star was certainly at its brightest after his thrilling victory over Robert Whittaker at UFC 243 last October, and he joined the podcast following it to discuss the win and a whole host of other things too.

Although the way Stylebender fights is enough to capture the attention of anyone who watches him, his personality is what really engages people and makes them fans. He's a fascinating character who has a very interesting perspective on fighting and how he stacks up against opponents in and outside of his weight class. There's the obvious confidence that every fighter must have to be able to compete at the level he fights at, but there's also an honesty with everything he says too.

Luckily, we're catching Adesanya at the very beginning of his MMA journey and episodes like this are a great timestamp to remember where he is in his life at this point in his career.
