Interestingly, Sterling recently appeared on Rogan’s podcast. On his own podcast, The Weekly Scraps, the reigning UFC bantamweight champion gave his take on Rogan’s success. “More credit to Joe ‘cause for him to start that by doing the podcast, just for fun with a couple of his buddies, and just kind of like just sh**s and giggles, and then for what it has turned into – It’s nothing short of impressive. And I think if people get the opportunity to see what he’s been able to achieve and build out for himself – Like, it’s not even public space for people. It’s for his friends only, so just think about that.” Additionally, Sterling appreciated Rogan for his mantra of being unfazed by people’s opinions and simply being himself on his podcast. 'Funk Master' added: “And again, I think that’s a very inspirational thing because it shows what can actually be attainable through hard work.” Watch the latest edition of The Weekly Scraps below (Joe Rogan's success - 7:55):
