Joe Rogan was launched into a wall by Mark Coleman

In addition to being a podcaster and analyst, Joe Rogan is a talented martial artist himself, with the American reaching a high level in kickboxing and taekwondo.

However, he was no match for Mark Coleman when the pair faced off in 2022.

Footage of the incident shows the pair having a mild struggle, when Rogan suddenly takes the icon back.

Coleman managed to get out of the hold and gave his opponent a mighty shove, sending him flying into a wall.

As tensions clearly rise, a voice in the background shouts: “Hug it.”

In an interview on the Jaxxon Podcast, the MMA icon gave his version of what happened, explaining: “It was after one of Joe's [Comedy] shows. [I] Gave him [a] little hug, but when we hugged it turned into a little wrestling thing. And then [he] takes my back.

'Everyone thinks Joe was let go because he stood behind me. But his face was in the small of my back; he was not behind me; he had my mid-lower back, but I just turned to face him.

“I was clearing some space; he was off balance. So I throw him against the wall; Thank God he's not hurt, man.'

“I feel bad. Oh yeah, I feel terrible. But he can handle it, you know. He was cool with it. He just couldn't believe how strong I was.”

Joe Rogan was almost robbed by a group of street thugs

It turns out the struggle with Coleman isn't the only dangerous situation Rogan finds himself in.

Once, the comedian was walking to teach a class when he was approached by a gang.

When the New Jersey resident refused to give them money, the thugs became aggressive and threatened to take it from him.

With the situation turning sinister, Rogan had to think quickly. What happened next will surprise you.
