Make a wild guess on who was the one to reach the Intuit Dome, Los Angeles, before anyone else to commentate for UFC 311. If you guessed Joe Rogan, you’re absolutely right! The 57-year-old UFC color commentator was the first one to step into the commentator booth. However, his demeanor didn’t align with an excited Rogan. And the fighting community took on the charge to dig out the reason behind it while conversing about his height and thick wallet.
MMA Junkie recently shared a video clip of Rogan walking to his spot at the commentary box. The one thing that caught most people’s attention, was that the arena was still almost empty when the beloved color commentator made his entry. The caption of the Instagram post read, “Joe Rogan is here and the first UFC PPV of 2025 is about to begin!”
Rogan sent a couple of waves to people in the audience and nodded at a few other staff near the Octagon, as two buffed-up bodyguards followed him. And he didn’t leave behind his snack! He carried what seemed like a packet of jerky, and a cup of coffee. Needless to say, he exerted a strong aura as he made his entrance.

Well, there are times when the color commentator acknowledged being short and made himself a laughing stock. But this time, one netizen wrote, “Bro is a legit hobbit lol.” One more fight fan added, “Always surprises me how small Joe is when I see him standing ..I’m used to seeing him sitting down on the podcast.”
On the other hand, some netizens began conversing about the JRE host’s massive $200M net worth. One fan weighed in on this and wrote, “Got two goons watching his back. Man’s worth a lot of money now.” Another fan even claimed that the jerky he held was worth more than what many could afford. The comment read, “That jerky cost half as much as his suit.”
