Personal life

Religion and Spirituality

Rogan was raised Catholic.

In September 2010 Rogan (along with Eddie Bravo) was a guest on the Alex Jones radio show, Rogan expressed that he does not follow any organized religions because he feels it is all the work of man. Rogan also said that he is not completely opposed to the concept of a "higher power" such as a God, however views the concept of God as part of nature that exists in everything. Rogan noted both personal experiences and psychedelic drug use as a reference point.

Drug Use and Advocacy

One of the recurring themes in his stand-up comedy and life is the use and support of cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, and DMT. Rogan supports the medical and recreational use of cannabis. He has also starred in the marijuana documentary . He has an isolation tank in his basementDMT. Rogan was featured in the 2010 History Channel documentary, Marijuana: A Chronic History, as an advocate of legalized medical use of marijuana. He is also the presenter of the 2010 documentary, DMT: The Spirit Molecule.

Parenthood and Marriage

On May 21, 2008, Rogan announced on the Kevin and Bean radio blow show in Los Angeles that his friend had a baby girl, and confirmed the news on his fan forum. The couple married in 2009 and are expecting their second child together.

Martial Arts

Rogan began practicing martial arts at the age of 13. By the age of 15 he earned a black belt in Taekwondo and went on to become the Massachusetts Full Contact Taekwondo Champion four consecutive times. By the age of 19 he won the US Open Taekwondo Championship in the lightweight division. After becoming the lightweight champion he defeated the middleweight and heavyweight title-holders to obtain the Grand Championship.

Rogan then studied under martial arts master, Ari Louis.

During high school Rogan was a kickboxer, and also holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Jean Jacques Machado. In addition, Rogan also holds a brown belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu under Eddie Bravo.

Furthermore before finding major success as a actor and comedian, Rogan taught taekwondo while attending Boston University.

Conflicts with other comedians

On February 10, 2007 at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, Rogan argued on-stage with Carlos Mencia, accusing him of plagiarizing other comedians' work. According to Rogan's account, he had just finished his act and introduced the next performer, Ari Shaffir, as a comedian who opens for "Carlos Men-steal-ia". Mencia took offense and walked on the stage.

Rogan then accused him of stealing jokes and falsely portraying himself as a Mexican American. The Comedy Store later canceled Rogan's shows. The entire incident was filmed as part of filming for Rogan's internet reality show, JoeShow. It was then made available to watch or download at numerous websites, including Rogan's. According to Rogan, his agent and publicity firm (who also represents Mencia) demanded that he either apologize to Mencia or else be dropped from the agency. Rogan refused to apologize to Mencia, and was dropped from the agency.

Rogan has claimed that Dane Cook performed a bit on an episode of Premium Blend that Rogan had developed on I'm Gonna Be Dead Someday (sketch titled "Tigers Fucking"), and claimed to have performed the routine earlier in clubs with Cook present. However, this dispute seemed to be laid to rest between the two comedians when Cook appeared on Rogans's podcast entitled The Joe Rogan Experience.

Rogan has also strongly criticized Denis Leary for plagiarizing Bill Hicks.

The Joe Rogan Experience

In December 2009, Rogan began hosting a regular podcast with concurrent live Ustream availability. Frequently co-hosted by his support Brian "Redban" Reichle, the podcast features an array of guests from the pursuits of comedy, acting and Mixed Martial Arts. Now known as The Joe Rogan Experience, the show is regularly found in the Apple iTunes top 10 most downloaded comedy, and was named one of iTunes "Best of 2010" audio podcasts in its first year

Homophobic slur controversy

Posting on an online forum, in response to a piece of biased journalism, Rogan called MMA journalist Tomas Rios a faggot. Rios requested an apology for Rogan's use of the term. Rogan responed by posting an online letter stating that he was retiring using the word 'faggot' and ended the letter by letting Rios know that this wasn't an apology and that he was a 'cocksucker' instead.

Leonard Garcia (born July 14, 1979) is an American mixed martial artist who currently fights in the featherweight division of Ultimate Fighting Championship. He previously fought in the UFC in the lightweight division before moving down to the 145 pound featherweight division in the WEC. Garcia currently trains at Greg Jackson's Submission Fighting located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Mixed martial arts career

Garcia began his career in 1999, competing on the regional circuit in the Western United States. Garcia competed in the first WEC event back in 2001 at WEC 1. After compiling an impressive 8-1 beginning to his professional career, Garcia took a three year hiatus.

Returning to action in 2006, Garcia was tabbed as a short notice replacement against Roger Huerta at UFC 69 where he lost a very competetive unanimous decision.

Garcia then defeated Allen Berube by submission at The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale and lost via decision to Cole Miller at UFC Fight Night 11.

World Extreme Cagefighting

Garcia defeated Hiroyuki Takaya via first round KO at WEC 32. In his next fight, Leonard dominated former UFC champion and WEC #1 contender Jens Pulver, ending the fight in the first round at WEC 36.

On March 1, 2009, Garcia lost the WEC Featherweight title match against champion Mike Brown. Brown landed a huge overhand right, knocking Gracia down in the first 30 seconds of the fight, landed some ground and pound, and then secured a fight ending arm triangle choke.

Garcia defeated Jameel Massouh by split decision on August 9, 2009 at WEC 42. In his next fight, Garcia lost to Manvel Gamburyan on November 18, 2009 at WEC 44 via unanimous decision.

Garcia was expected to face Diego Nunes on March 6, 2010 at WEC 47, but Nunes was forced from the card with an injury. Garcia instead faced former UFC fighter George Roop with the bout ending in a draw.

Garcia faced WEC newcomer Chan Sung Jung on April 24, 2010 at WEC 48. Garcia replaced Cub Swanson who was forced from the card with an injury. The fight went the full three rounds and Garcia won in a controversial split decision. The fight won Fight of the Night honors, being hailed by UFC matchmaker Joe Silva and announcer Joe Rogan as "the best fight I've seen in my life."

Garcia faced Mark Hominick on September 30, 2010 at WEC 51. He lost the fight via split decision.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In October 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC. Garcia was expected to face Tyler Toner at , but Garcia was pulled from the bout with Toner in favor of a bout with Nam Phan.

Garcia won the fight via a highly controversial split decision. Garcia and Phan received Fight of the Night honors for their performances. This was the first televised featherweight bout in the UFC.

A rematch with Phan is expected on March 26, 2011 at UFC Fight Night 24.

Personal life

In March 2008, Garcia was arrested as part of an alleged cocaine ring, which put his career on hold. According to Garcia, "I had a buddy, a really good friend of mine in Lubbock, and he was into things that weren't good," he said. "I knew about what the guy was up to but he was a friend of mine. The law says even if he's your friend, you are required to report on the guy. The other 11 guys, I didn't know any of them." Three months later, he was exonerated.

George Sotiropoulos (born 9 July 1977) is an Australian mixed martial artist who is currently fighting in the UFC in the lightweight division. He is well known for appearing as a fighter on the TV show , fighting on Team Serra.

Biography

Sotiropoulos began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 1997. He was promoted to black belt in 2004 by John Will. In 2003 and 2007, he represented Australia in the Submission Wrestling World Championships. He has also competed in amateur boxing, and in 2004, won a Victorian State Amateur boxing title. Prior to his MMA career in the UFC, George Sotiropoulos trained with veteran UFC and Pride Fighting Championship fighter Enson Inoue. The two met during a winning bout Sotiropoulos had with Sergio Lourenco in Guam. He has remained affiliated with Enson Inoue's Purebred gyms throughout his career since then.

Following his appearance on , Sotiropoulos moved to Long Island, NY to train at Serra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. George Sotiropoulos then relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada and trained at Xtreme Couture. During this time period he also trained at 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu with Eddie Bravo. He relocated in 2009 and is currently training at an Enson Inoue Purebred affiliate, Fisticuffs Gym located in Vancouver, Washington.

In a UFC published article spotlighting Sotiropoulos, he is quoted that the reason for the move was to train with his boxing coach, Leonard Gabriel. In addition, Sotiropoulos trains his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Impact Jiu Jitsu in Beaverton, Oregon. There, his main training partners include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belts and Grappler's Quest champions Michael Chapman, Keisuke Andrew and Armand Debruge.

His wrestling coach is former Wisconsin All-American wrestler Eric Jetton, a BJJ Black Belt who can be found cornering his fights. Sotiropoulos is considered to be one of the best Australian fighters since Jeff Fenech.

Mixed martial arts career

Sotiropoulos made his Mixed Martail Arts debut in 2004 against fellow Australian MMA fighter Gavin Murie, in which George was able to win via Armbar in the first round. He went on to win two more fights until his first career loss to Kyle Noke in 2005, one year later he was able to avenge his first loss by defeating Noke by Unanimous Decision. Sotiropoulos went on to have a 7-2 record in small MMA organizations, until he was invited to participate in The Ultimate Fighter in 2007.

The Ultimate Fighter

Sotiropoulos defeated Jared Rollins in the first round of the competition by KO. He went on to defeat Richie Hightower in the quarterfinals via submission due to a kimura. Sotiropoulos was then defeated by Tommy Speer in the semi-finals by knockout, shortly after an accidental thumb to the eye.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Sotiropoulos defeated Billy Miles at Finale via submission (rear naked choke) at 1:36 in round 1. Sotiropoulos defeated Roman Mitichyan at UFC Fight Night 13 on 2 April 2008 by TKO in the second round.

He was scheduled to fight Karo Parisyan at UFC 87, however Sotiropoulos was forced to withdraw due to injury. He was then to face Matt Grice at UFC Fight Night 17, but was again forced to withdraw due to injury. After an 18 month break in his career, he switched weight classes, winning his 155 lb debut at UFC 101 on 8 August 2009 against George Roop. He showed his Jiu Jitsu skills and passed Roop's guard with ease, eventually getting the kimura lock in the second round; making Roop tap out.

Sotiropoulos defeated Ultimate Fighter 9 alumni Jason Dent in the second round by armbar on 21 November 2009, at UFC 106. In a post-fight interview following the win, Sotiropoulos stated his desire to compete at the UFC 110 card, in Sydney, Australia. Sotiropoulos' wish was granted and faced Joe Stevenson on 21 February 2010 at UFC 110.

Making his first appearance on the main card of a UFC pay-per-view event, Sotiropolous improved to 5–0 in the UFC as he defeated Joe Stevenson via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, 30–27) in a dominant performance, prompting Dana White to say that Sotiropoulos was "in the mix" for a title shot. The fight earned Sotiropoulos his first "Fight of the Night" award in the UFC.

Sotiropolous fought Kurt Pellegrino at UFC 116 in July 2010, and won by a commanding unanimous decision. Sotiropolous then faced Joe Lauzon on 20 November 2010 at UFC 123. Sotiropoulos survived a fast start by his opponent, thus gassing Lauzon in one round, and allowing George to dominate the the next round, winning by kimura in the 2nd round in a bout that won Fight of the Night honors. The win pushes Sotiropoulos to a perfect 7-0 record in the UFC and establishes him as one the top contenders for the UFC lightweight championship.

Sotiropoulos is expected to face Dennis Siver on 27 February 2011 at UFC 127.

Personal life

Fabricio Werdum (; born July 30, 1977) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist, a two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion, a two-time ADCC world heavyweight champion and European Jiu-Jitsu champion. He has a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a Black Belt in Judo. Werdum has competed in PRIDE Fighting Championships, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and made his Strikeforce debut on August 15, 2009. As of October 27, 2010, he is ranked as the #3 heavyweight in the world by Sherdog. He is the only fighter to legitimately defeat Fedor Emelianenko in mixed martial arts competition.

Early life

Born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Werdum started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after a recommendation from his ex-girlfriend. He trained with Marcio Corletta at the Porto Alegre Academy, Winner Behring. After success in competitive BJJ and submission wrestling, he started his career in MMA.

He arrived in Spain to join his mother, who had moved to the city of Madrid some years before. At the age of 17, soon after his arrival in Spain, when he was just a purple belt, he started teaching the art of BJJ in Madrid and other cities of Spain. Despite only training with white and blue belts, he became BJJ World Champion, being promoted to the rank of black belt by Sylvio Behring 3 years later.

MMA career

Werdum's early fights were with the promotions Jungle Fight, Millennium Brawl, and World Absolute Fight. He boasted a 4-0-1 record, including a win against BJJ specialist Gabriel Gonzaga. He was Mirko Filipović’s sparring partner at that time and the Croat was the main reason for debut in PRIDE.

PRIDE Fighting Championship

In 2005, Werdum made his PRIDE debut against Tom Erikson, winning by submission. Later that year he faced Roman Zentsov in PRIDE Final Conflict 2005, he was able to defeat Zentsov by a Triangle choke in 6:01 of the very first round. Werdum then had his very first loss in his MMA career, when he lost to Sergei Kharitonov via split decision in PRIDE 30. Then in early 2006, Werdum defeated Jon Olav Einemo by unanimous decision in PRIDE 31.

He accumulated a record of 3-1 in PRIDE before entering the 2006 PRIDE Open Weight Grand Prix. His first match of the tournament was against Dutch fighter Alistair Overeem, winning via kimura in the second round. He then faced former Pride FC heavyweight champion, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira in the quarter finals, losing via decision.

Fabricio then had a short stint in 2 Hot 2 Handle, facing Aleksander Emelianenko in a Heavyweight bout, beating the Russian by submission via arm triangle choke.

UFC

Fabricio Werdum debuted in the UFC on 21 April 2007 at UFC 70: Nations Collide. He faced former UFC Heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, losing a unanimous decision. He began to train in Brazil at Chute Boxe and he is now more aggressive, showing improvement in striking, particularly his Muay Thai. At UFC 80 on January 19, 2008, Werdum met Gabriel Gonzaga in a rematch. Werdum won the bout by TKO. He weathered an early striking onslaught only to secure the Muay Thai clinch and connect with several knee strikes before taking Gonzaga to the ground and finishing him with punches. Werdum's next fight was against Brandon Vera at UFC 85. He defeated Vera by TKO in the 1st round. Werdum achieved full mount with less than 30 seconds to go in the round and connected with a number of unanswered punches. The decision to stop the bout was booed due to the small amount of time remaining in the round, although the official time of stoppage was 4:40. In his next fight at UFC 90, Werdum was heavily favored to win but was KO'ed in 1:20 of the first round via uppercut by Junior dos Santos. After the loss Werdum's contract was terminated by the UFC. Since Werdum was not contacted directly about the termination he had no idea he had been cut and initially denied the news of him no longer being in the UFC as just a rumor.

Strikeforce

Werdum is currently signed with Strikeforce. The victory ended Emelianenko's 28-fight unbeaten streak while propelling Werdum's status up the Heavyweight rankings. He is currently ranked as the third best Heavyweight in MMA by Sherdog. The victory over Fedor also gave him the distinction of being the only man to hold victories over both of the Emelianenko brothers.

A rematch with Alistair Overeem is expected sometime in early 2011, possibly at Strikeforce 32 and will be part of an eight-man heavyweight tournament.

Schools & instruction

Until November, 2006, Werdum was the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović and is associated with Team Werdum BJJ Academy, located in Zagreb, Croatia. Werdum is currently training with the Chute Boxe MMA team.

Werdum currently teaches in Venice, CA at his new school with his long-time training partner, Lucas Pires, at Werdum Combat Team.
