"I didn't have as much money back then, and it was a lot more money than I got the first time. We did 148 episodes. After a while, it's like, Jesus Christ. How many animal d—s can you serve people. How many times can you throw them off buildings."

"In 2011, I came back but I didn't have as much money back then and also it was a lot more money than I got the first time. It was like a big deal but I immediately regretted it. I was like oh my god I have a job again."

When Joe Rogan shared his thoughts on Amanda Nunes vs. Julianna Peña at UFC 269

In UFC 269's co-main event, Julianna Peña pulled off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history by defeating Amanda Nunes, who had won 12 fights in a row. 'The Venezuelan Vixen' submitted Nunes and won the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship. Joe Rogan shared his thoughts on the result after analysing Nunes' performance:

"She was like, trying to take her out quick, and then when Julianna was still there, you could tell she [Nunes] was f**king tired. For you to be a world champion in two divisions and universally recognized as the greatest woman fighter of all time, which Amanda is, it's [inexcusable] to be that tired in the second round."

Rogan further added :

"Just standing in front of her, just swinging in front of her, no movement side-to-side. Standing right in front of her like you're watching a regional fight."
