Joe Rogan dicusses UFC fighters' 'choking strategy'

Rogan started the conversation by saying, “There’s an area called the Sunderbans… Sunderban tigers over the last 200 years have killed more than 300,000 people.”

Burr said, “Believe it or not, it’s a quick death,” to which Rogan agreed.



 

Burr claimed that he had prepared his course of action in case he ever came across a tiger. He said he would give up and offer his neck as payment.

Burr contrasted his tactics to those of UFC fighters who prefer to be choked out than knocked out and would not submit to their opponents.

“It’s the same thing, you just go to sleep,” he said, to which Rogan concurred, "It probably hurts for a second.”

They spoke about a situation in which a tiger was seen on camera following two individuals on a motorcycle at full speed before just missing them.



 

The conversation took place on Episode 1348 from 2019. Burr was promoting his special, 'Paper Tiger', at that time when the conversation about tigers started.

'JRE' podcast could feature in GTA VI

Rogan and 'GTA 6' were recently mentioned recently in the gaming community. His name has already been linked to the wildly popular gaming series.

According to rumors from 2011, the 'The Joe Rogan Experience' contacted the game's creators in an effort to get their podcast played on the game's radio stations.



 

However, such conversations eventually came to an end. In 2023, speculations that Rogan would be in the 'GTA' franchise started making the rounds again.
