Getty Daniel Cormier (L) is interviewed by commentator Joe Rogan after Cormier's weigh-in for UFC 200 at T-Mobile Arena on July 8, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Podcaster and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan has an extensive background in martial arts and that was on full display in a recent Instagram post.
On Thursday, Rogan shared a slow-motion video of himself working out on a bag, showing off powerful roundhouse kicks. Rogan, who has a black belt in Taekwondo, is known for his deadly kicks, competing in the martial art at a high level when he was younger.
In the caption of the video, Rogan wrote, “Watching techniques in slow motion is a good way to recognize inefficiencies in your movements.”

UFC Welterweight Star Mike Perry Commented on Rogan’s Video, Says a ‘KO Is a KO’
m
Mike “Platinum” Perry shared his thoughts on Rogan’s comment about watching techniques in slow motion to recognize inefficiencies.
The UFC welterweight fighter wrote: “Maybe there are no inefficiencies in your movements Joe. A KO is a KO. If it works it works. Doesn’t matter how ugly you think it is. Now I have a bad ass slow motion video of my girl jogging with ‘terrible form’ but nobody would judge this video badly lol.”
Platinum is known for his exciting, striking-centric fighting style and willingness to get into a brawl, winning 11 of his 20 mixed martial arts bouts by KO or TKO. In his 13 UFC fights, Perry has won two Performance of the Night bonuses and two Fight of the Night bonuses.
One of Rogan’s fans disagreed with Perry’s comment, writing, “brawling will only get you so far. This man (Rogan) would kick you into next week so maybe you should listen up.”
