Note to Self: Don’t Get Kicked by Joe Rogan [VIDEOS]

(Props: BangMuayThai)

A black belt in both Tae Kwon Do and 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, Joe Rogan has managed to keep his fighting skills sharp despite a full schedule of UFC color-commentating, podcasting, stand-up gigs, and sasquatch-hunting. We’ve already seen him break down the turning side-kick, and two new videos feature a couple more nasty kicks in Joe’s arsenal.

Above, Rogan fires off some wheel-kicks that look like they might break TJ Dillashaw‘s arm off. Yeah, I know, pads don’t hit back, but holy crap, those kicks have some mustard on ’em. After the jump, Rogan shows acclaimed trainer Duane “Bang” Ludwig his front-leg side kick, and how to transition to the turning side-kick off of it.

Discussion question: Let’s say — hypothetically, of course —that Joe Rogan discovers the secret of time-travel, and replaces Zane Frazier in the UFC 1 bracket. How far does he go, and how much differently does MMA history play out? And what would be the potential ramifications if he meets his younger self at UFC 12? Please answer quickly, as the first draft of my new sci-fi novel (CAGE TRAVELER) is due to the publisher next week.
