UFC commentator Joe Rogan cracked awesome spinning back kicks in a new training video
- Joe Rogan released a new clip of himself in combat sports training.
- The American is renowned for being a voice for the UFC, and a popular podcaster.
Podcaster, UFC commentator, and taekwondo practitioner Joe Rogan is seen throwing spinning back kicks in an impressive training clip that shows the American is still a force to be reckoned with, despite being aged 54.
Rogan can be seen lashing kick after kick at a heavy bag in a minute-long clip he posted on Instagram.
He said he was "working on perishable skills" by practicing "10 rounds on the bag, followed by technique work."
The footage earned widespread praise from the mixed martial arts community. One Championship founder Chatri Sityodtong, former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, and former middleweight champ Chris Weidman, all posted positive comments and emojis.
Elite bantamweight fighter Marlon Vera even said: "Next time I'm in Texas we need to practice this."

As Rogan was wearing a Georges St. Pierre shirt, the clip is reminiscent of footage from the 2000s in which the MMA commentator can be seen showing St. Pierre how to fine-tune a specific kick.

Rogan has been a leading voice for MMA firm UFC for 25 years, is respected within the industry for his technical knowledge and physical prowess, but has attracted criticism for the content of The Joe Rogan Experience show, which is hosted on Spotify.
YouTube recently removed a Rogan video from its platform that featured a long-form interview with Dr. Robert Malone — an American virologist who worked on mRNA technology — as it likened the vaccination program against COVID-19 as "mass psychosis," The Independent reported.
"What the media doesn't understand is that you can't suppress information," Malone told Fox News in the aftermath of the interview's removal online.
