In an emotional episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan opened up about a heartfelt moment that left him in tears during a UFC event. The conversation centered around a touching interaction between Rogan, former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley, and Woodley’s mother.
Rogan recalled a particularly moving video featuring Tyron Woodley and his mother. “There’s a video of you and Tyron’s mom and Tyron, and Tyron’s mom afterward. It’s a beautiful video, man,” Rogan said, his voice laden with emotion. He described the scene as a “tearjerker,” expressing how deeply it affected him.
“I felt like I was taken away from what he was doing for them,” Rogan continued. “So when I saw her walking backstage, I just couldn’t control it. I just let go, and I just let it all out. I just couldn’t help but cry on her shoulders.”
In the video, Woodley’s mother is seen embracing Rogan with open arms, offering comfort and reassurance. “Look at her. She’s embracing you with open arms. It’s all good, it’s all good, baby. Look at that, all good, honey. Amazing. That’s an amazing woman right there.”
Rogan was visibly moved as he recounted the experience. “Keep on work, they so for, and you take it to. Oh good, crazy man, yeah,” he said, reflecting on the powerful impact of the moment. He even noted how Tyron’s demeanor added to the emotional intensity. “And even Tyron, the way Tyron handled him is crazy, right. It makes me cry, something in the air over here. What’s going on?”
This candid revelation from Rogan highlights the deep emotional connections that can be formed within the UFC community. It also underscores the powerful bonds between fighters and their families, and how these moments of vulnerability can resonate with others.
