UFC commentator Joe Rogan has been involved in the sport for over two decades and has even trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Eddie Bravo. Hence, it comes as no surprise that Rogan was in excellent shape as a youngster. Interestingly, Rogan’s physique made headlines again recently as a recent throwback image left fans astonished by his fitness levels.
A page on X, ‘MMA Uncensored’ posted a picture featuring Joe Rogan in his 20s. In the picture, a young Rogan is seen shadowboxing in boxing shorts and hand wraps. However, the thing that caught the attention of fans immediately was the conditioning of Rogan’s physique. The 56-year-old looked extremely well built with not even an ounce of fat on him.
Needless to say, the picture invoked some interesting reactions from fans, who could not help but praise the commentator for his incredible fitness.
One fan commented on Rogan’s photo declaring that the commentator was not someone to be messed with back in the day, saying, “Joe Rogan was a bad mofo in his day.”
