American UFC color commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan once dismissed golf when it was compared with MMA. He stated that the game of golf involved just hitting a stable ball while mixed martial arts required more physical aspects from an athlete.
On May 6, 2022, PowerfulJRE released a video on YouTube titled, “Joe & Tony Debate Golf vs. MMA”. It featured Joe Rogan and popular American comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. While Rogan defended MMA, Hinchcliffe was heard supporting the game of golf.
While their conversation heated up, Rogan said it was “super difficult” to kick someone than hitting a golf ball. He said,
“What I’m saying is it’s super difficult to kick someone, it’s super easy to hit a golf ball. Whether you hit a golf ball perfectly that’s a different story.”
