Joe's transformation from a Latin heartthrob to Benito Mussolini is astounding.

Joe Rogan. The only man in history to go through puberty twice.

[tyguy]

not a single person in 1998 would have guessed that both joe rogan AND UFC would be 2 of the most successful things in entertainment history

[bryanciacco]

4:45 Conan "would it ever degenerate to people just slapping?" 25 years later Dana introduces Slap League LMFAO 🤣

[JR-buwe]

Man Joe truly is a massive part of MMA history

[Razear]

"No one has died in the history of the UFC." Crazy how that's still true 25 years after he said that.

This interview was back in the day when UFC was a joke and cage fighting was seen as mental. Now it's one of the world's most popular sports. Changed days.

[iMissMyHomies]

joe immediately turns off girls by mocking their cat calls😂😂😂

[satchmofan]

Joe really had the Tony Montana thing going back then

[lapaw]

Joe went from Enrique Iglesias to himself😂😂😂

[hrishitelcontar]

"Does it ever degenerate to people just slapping each other?" Conan was an oracle.

I can see what Danna saw in Joe after watching this clip.

Danna said he found Joe: intelligent, funny, he knew a lot about ultimate fighting, was a fighter himself, he was passionate. These two were a great combination.

[tomasmolcan]

I am utterly disappointed to not hear Joe explain that UFC is high-level problem solving with dire physical consequences.

[rosannalovespanda]

I would have dropped dead if he mentioned Gobekli Tepe. 😂😂

[aammm]

The way nobody laughed at his scream in the beggining😂

[tud-music]

Crazy how much stigma the sport had back then

[Afrotechmods]

The way he mocked Steven Seagal was great... and this was in '98 no less

[ryandeffley]

3:21 - The Segal impression. 🤣

Plus, it's hilarious the way he goes in on the ponytail and girdle.

[piticfilms]

It's inspiring to see Joe's honesty, true confidence/no BS attitude intact through the years.

[IrishMan]

So relaxed, humorous, and stoned out of his mind. I love it.
