Is Joe Rogan Really Planning To Visit El Paso For Free UFC Event?

We're breaking down the rumor of Joe Rogan visiting El Paso to check out the upcoming UFC Combat Jiu-Jitsu and EBI event later this month.

Remember Joe Rogan? He's a comedian who used to star in the 90s sitcom News Radio, was the host of Fear Factor, became a UFC commentator, and now is the host of the mega-popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience talking about everything under the sun.

So how did this rumor about Joe Rogan coming to El Paso get started?

Last week, Eddie Bravo, creator of CJJ and EBI (Eddie Bravo Invitational) and one of Rogan's good friends, was a recent guest on his podcast. During the interview, Bravo invited the personality to an upcoming UFC Combat Jiu-Jitsu and EBI event in El Paso.

It turns out that a portion of the interview was shared on FitFam, showing the moment when Bravo invites Rogan to El Paso for the event, and that's what got the rumor mill started.

During the podcast interview, Joe Rogan asks where El Paso is located, "is it by Dallas?" he asks Bravo. After being told it's by the border near Juarez, Bravo shares some of the event details when Rogan interjects, asking, "How far is El Paso from here?" meaning Austin.

The clip then cuts out, and soon after, El Pasoans were left wondering if Joe Rogan was heading to the Sun City after all.

Joe Rogan is currently in Austin, which isn't too far from El Paso, is friends with both Eddie Bravo and Spanish UFC Commentator Victor Davila, and loves UFC, so chances are we might see him in town for the event after all, but it has yet to be confirmed.
